The low profile whistle.
Not sure if it came out well? If it whistles, it came out fine. If it doesn’t, you need to tweak the profile more. That’s a crazy dead simple non-subjective litmus test. It’s a big-ish file, clocking in at 14 minutes, but this is for the “large” whistle. I need to download the SCAD file and try out one of the small whistles.
I’m totally serious. I want to spend my flattr moolah!
Also, 9000 internet points to whoever can combine these things in the most elegant way.
What do you think? I’ve put up a poll so you can help me figure this one out.
Or, something else entirely? With huge bonus points for a quick-printing object, I suspect the Pink Panther Lady loses.
A coat hook.
The thing I like about “samples” is that they can actually be useful. So, a whistle, a bottle opener, a coat hook – these are all things that people could examine and then actually use. That way, their utility lives beyond simply being examined once as a curiosity – they become a thing that has realized its potential.
Okay, what’s the best thing you can think of that exhibits the possibilities of a MakerBot or RepRap? 12 If y0u’re going for something that shows off the utilitarian potential, then a bottle opener or thin profile whistle might be it. If you’re going for something that shows off what you can achieve with just printed parts – a Leonardo Robot or Rubik’s cube clone. And, if you’re going for something that shows off the precision and detail that is possible, it’s got to be a Pink Panther Lady.345
When judging such things heavily weighted by print time, I suspect the thin profile whistle might be one of the best options.
What do you think?
