The Mighty Acorn

Maybe I am going nuts. I just designed this container/bowl in the shape of an oak tree acorn. This is an original design from me, but I feel certain it isn’t the first of it’s design. The acorn design has seen many applications and uses in art and crafted items. Many uses in military regalia.

This is designed in Fusion 360. It has three major parts. The removable cap, which is the lid. The acorn nut which is the bowl. Then the stand in which the bowl stands upright.

Choosing quality over quantity is my constant resolve with 3D printing. 

I have always had a bit of a personal guilt feeling making figuratively tons of plastic printed junque. (junk). Just because I could. 

There is a place for some of that. The problem for me is plastic has an intrinsic low-value (cheap) aura. It’s been hard for me to feel that something I have made from plastic is going to have a long-term value.

This design I call an exercise with Fusion 360. I wanted to make a fridge magnet note holder that looked like a free lance flower bloom. This is what I developed.

I wasn’t trying to produce any particular species of flower. So I don’t know if any part of this is true to nature and natural flower blooms. Just a freelance of how I wanted my flower to look.

I don’t know if this is a first ever, but it is a first for me.

I have combined 3d FDM plastic printing with LASER engraving. Combining two of my current interests.

I realized after studying LASER engraving and cutting, that plastic is a popular medium to cut and engrave, But I haven’t seen or heard it suggested for use with 3D printed plastic.

So I set about seeing what works and what doesn’t when combining LASER power with printed plastics.

Pyramid Bowl

Original bowl design using Fusion 360. The CAD is not designed as two color. The 60 small pyramids are integral with the rest of the vase. Creating a single .stl file. 

Tiertime UP Studio 3 slicer now has a "paint" function. Using that tool areas of any .stl file can be selected and manipulated. In this case using the separate function. This was used to "cut out" each pyramid in situ and assign a depth to be printed in a second color. In this case 2.5mm.

The printing ran for about 10 hours. The result of the print is good, but you don't need to judge my color selection. Ha!
