Do you have access to a 3D printer? Maybe a Makerbot of your own, at school, at the office or with a friend? Then this may be interesting to you.
This week, LayerByLayer has launched a new 3D-printing-support service, through which you can directly stream an object to your own 3D printer. It works a bit like an app store. Designers can upload and sell models. Buyers can buy single samples at the LayerByLayer marketplace. LayerBy Layer uses a streaming technology, a bit like streaming video over the internet. Through the special LayerByLayer software, your 3D printer is directly connected to a LayerByLayer server via the internet, and that server streams the object to your printer one layer at a time.
As home 3D printers are not good enough for twisty puzzles yet, I decided to start with some non-twisty puzzles.
- -French Fries, see also at the Non-Twisty Puzzles Forum and YouTube
- -Domino Tower, a nice beginner puzzle
This is the link to my LayerByLayer Shop. Please try it out if you have access to a 3D printer. It is much, much cheaper than using a professional 3D-printing service, and the quality is quite acceptable for not-too-demanding puzzles designs.
Enjoy!
