fae_alba Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I oft times get sucked down the rabbit hole when it comes to A:M. Someone shouts "squirrel!" and I'm off on a tangent faster than you can animate a blink. Last month I bought some new filament for my 3D printer. It was advertised to print looking like wood. So I ask myself, just what can I print to test out that claim? My mind went to a pirate cannon. Of course it did. So I go straight to my favorite 3D modeling software (A:M) and model up a pirate canon, and send it off to my 3D printer. Needless to say the first time through wasn't all that great, but lessons were learned. Below are some images to show how this little worked out. I'm forcing myself to move on to another project, since if I allowed myself I'm sure I would be modeling a whole pirate ship! The A:M model looks a bit like this Of course I had to animate it: canon_fire.avi and the final 3D printed looks like this: The A:M model had to be broken up 18 separate models 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fae_alba Posted February 4, 2019 Author Share Posted February 4, 2019 I'd love to see the model animated to fire, complete with ropes and pulleys, but I need to put it aside for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fae_alba Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 On to the next project! Building a "working" model of the Mad Hatter's Tea Cup Ride in Disney. Complete with spinning tea cups, and a dormouse that pops up out of the tea pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
