Desktop Organizer Flower Pot – 10
OK, this one is really really cool. Very nice design of flowerpot that doubles as a 3D printed desk organizer. It will hold your pens, pencils, note cards, scissors, lip balm, gift cards and your favourite plant! The plant in the image is a rabbit’s foot fern. The excess water drains into the ring below. Maybe a succulent might make an easier less watering plant to put in its place. Either way, a very nice desk organizer.

Translation of the article “50 Cool Things to 3D Print in June 2019” is a technology that allows you to create real objects from a digital model.
It all started in the 80s under the name "rapid prototyping", which was the goal of the technology: to create a prototype faster and cheaper. A lot has changed since then, and today 3D printers allow you to create anything you can imagine. nine0003
Contents:
- What is 3D printing?
- How does a 3D printer work?
- What can be printed?
The 3D printer allows you to create objects that are almost identical to their virtual models. That is why the scope of these technologies is so wide.
What is 3D printing?
3D printing is an additive manufacturing process because, unlike traditional subtractive manufacturing, 3D printing does not remove material, but adds it, layer by layer - that is, it builds or grows. nine0003
- In the first step of printing, the data from the drawing or 3D model is read by the printer.
- Next is the sequential overlay of layers.
- These layers of sheet material, liquid or powder are bonded together to form the final shape.
With a limited number of parts, 3D printing will be faster and cheaper. The world of 3D printing does not stand still and therefore there are more and more different technologies competing with each other on the market. The difference lies in the printing process itself. Some technologies create layers by softening or melting the material, then they provide layer-by-layer application of this same material. Other technologies involve the use of liquid materials, which acquire a solid form in the process under the influence of various factors. nine0003
In order to print something , you first need a 3D model of the object, which you can create in a 3D modeling program (CAD - Computer Aided Design), or use a 3D scanner to scan the object you want print. There are also easier options, such as looking for models on the internet that have been created and made available to other people.
Once your design is ready, all you have to do is import it into the Slicer, a program that adapts the model into codes and instructions for a 3D printer, most of the programs are open source and are distributed free of charge.
The slicer will convert your project into a gcode file ready to be printed as a physical object. Simply save the file to the included SD card and insert it into your 3D printer and hit print. nine0003
The whole process can take several hours and sometimes even days. It all depends on the size, material and complexity of the model. Some 3D printers use two different materials. One of them is part of the model itself, the other acts as a prop that supports parts of the model hanging in the air. The second material is subsequently removed.
How does a 3D printer work?
Although there are several 3D printing technologies, most create an object by building up many successive thin layers of material. Typically desktop 3D printers use plastic filaments (1) which are fed into the printer by the feeder (2) . The filament melts into the print head (3) which extrudes the material onto the platform (4) creating the object layer by layer.
Once the printer starts printing, all you have to do is wait - it's easy.
Of course, when you become an advanced user, playing with the settings and tweaking your printer can lead to even better results.
What can be 3D printed? nine0005
The possibilities of 3D printers are endless and are now becoming a common tool in fields such as engineering, industrial design, manufacturing and architecture. Here are some typical use cases:
Custom Models
Create custom products that perfectly match your needs in terms of size and shape. Do something that would be impossible with any other technology.
Rapid Prototyping
3D printing allows you to quickly create a model or prototype, helping engineers, designers and companies get feedback on their projects in a short time.
Complex geometry
Models that are hard to imagine can be easily created with a 3D printer. These models are good for teaching others about complex geometry in a fun and useful way.
