Learning to 3D model for print with Blender

thingiverse

Ever wanted to learn to model in 3D specifically for print? Ever wanted to see practical examples? From time to time I do something and I feel I wanted to share the info so that others might also find it useful....hence this thing.. For example I needed to make a ball joint for a project. Rather than just share the ball joint only I share how I made it. So this thing will be a Work in progress thing. you can call it a class which will also be located herehttp://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7tGtxtIW0IyVtwssAA4hnMOpObYDKaWT But think of new people just getting into 3D printing and wanting to know how to model.. They don't go to Youtube right away.. they come to thingiverse download models and look at how they are made,,,so that would be an interesting thing to make for them. A thing that teaches you to make things. So enjoy the first project. Follow this thread if you want to stay ahead of any new things you can make. Widgets and whatnots.... And if you have ideas for things or examples post them here. Look to the instruction area for the projects.
