The Fab Academy Assignment

Print an object

This was my first 3D printing attempt, I used a file called “Interlocked Rigs” by ssd available from Thingaverse.  I intend to scan and print my own files at a later date.

The Project: 3D Printing Linked Rings

Printing the interlocked rings with the MakerBot.

Putting together the MakerBot Plastruder spindle piece for the MakerBot 3D printer.  I would describe the full process, but the MakerBot staff has already provided an excellent tutorial. http://wiki.makerbot.com/plastruder-mk4-assembly
