PLA Kissing Couple
myminifactory
A kissing couple printed using PLA on a Replicator 2 and Makerware. I found a wooden version (see below) and was impressed enough to print a PLA version, with of course, some "non-artistic" variations. I will upload the Sketchup 8 files (.skp) if required for conversion to ABS, just comment if you desire them. A video of the electrical version of the PLA Kissing Couple is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IoMIzsaeVE I have yet to double check the stl files, so they may change. If you find a problem, please comment. What I enjoyed most about this project was the differences between 3D printing and machining. If I was to machine this project using wood or metal, I would waste much material cutting away that which did not look like the various parts. With 3D printing, there is no waste, and only the PLA required to make the various parts is used. The original wooden version link is on the youtube link. Their artistic creativity is amazing. You can build your PLA version to run by hand crank or electric motor. See the instructions for your options.
