Nendo creates 3D-printed bonsai tree
Natashah Hitti | Leave a comment
Japanese design studio Nendo has created an alternative to the tricky task of nurturing a bonsai tree with its Grid-Bonsai – a 3D-printed version of the plant that owners can prune to their liking.
The traditional Japanese art form of bonsai involves using cultivation techniques to produce small plants in pots that imitate the appearance of full-scale trees.
Bonsai artists shape their trees by trimming the leaves and pruning and bending branches, as well as adding decorative elements like moss and stones to the soil.
Maintenance of the tree requires sunlight exposure and constant watering, and often entails a substantial amount of professional expertise, which presents a challenge for retailers.
The works of bonsai masters can sell for high prices, but despite the bonsai's artistic acclaim, Nendo explains that it is still very rare to find them outside of Japan due to agricultural import restrictions.
As a result, the popularity of Bonsai-growing among young people and overseas has diminished.
Nendo aims to tackle these challenges with a 3D-printed version of the bonsai tree, which takes the form of an interactive puzzle-like object.
The Grid-Bonsai can be easily trimmed using a pair of bonsai scissors, just like a natural plant, and is designed to be user-friendly and suitable for beginners.
Nendo makes lilypad table and decorative flowers from Sèvres porcelain
As Nendo's bonsais aren't living plants, there are no import and maintenance restrictions, making over the counter sales easy both domestically and abroad.
The Grid-Bonsai comes in seven different shapes and sizes, all referencing typical forms of the bonsai tree.
Each 3D-printed tree can be customised from its square-shaped extruded form into a smooth, rounded design.
This is not the first time Nendo has imitated natural plants using man-made materials. The Japanese studio previously created a series of ornamental flowers using ceramic.
The collection for Parisian porcelain company Sèvres also included a low table made up of multiple lotus leaves crafted from ceramic.

to prototype or not? / Habr
As you remember from my previous posts, we are slowly moving towards the ability to collect interesting things on our own. For training, we have already assembled a robot from a DIY constructor, soldered a couple of circuits in a fun way, and I have a couple more interesting posts planned ahead for the same very, very beginners. And today let's take a break and see if a 3D pen will be enough to prototype our ideas? nine0005
Of course, the first thing you'll probably say is don't over complicate things.
Buy a 3D printer and prototype as much as you want. In principle, I am in favor, but I would like to try the technology itself first without having to master software and 3D modeling. In addition, for a beginner, the option with a pen is much more affordable. Well, in principle, this is a spectacular gadget with its own capabilities.
What are others doing?
Oddly enough, 3D pens are actually used for prototyping. Since the details drawn with ABS plastic using lines are very light, they are primarily used in aeromodelling. On this YouTube channel, you can follow the desperate attempts of a representative of foggy Albion to make such an aircraft model fly. And this is his blog about the same. nine0005
Although the model looks quite beautiful, unfortunately, none of the launches have taken place so far, they all look something like this:
The craftsmen also created the drone from the post header using a 3d pen. You can see the description of this project here.
Watching the video of the creation and launch of another quadrocopter after the previous video is especially pleasant - it just took it and flew: , for hand drawing details like a propeller:
The second area where 3D pens have already found their way into technology is lighting. You can draw a lot with a pen, where you can put a light bulb, if you know what I mean.
Super painstaking work by Korean artist Gina Sim - done on a papier-mâché base, then cut to remove from the base and glued back together with a pen. Her other work is no less impressive. nine0218
3Dali 3D pen: test drive
Our choice fell on the 3Dali pen. In this post, among others, the Myriwell pen is mentioned, the Russified copy of which is Dali. Compared to the Doodler, the pen is smaller in size - more comfortable to hold in your hand - and does not make noise like a clipper cooler, as the first version of the pen did.
The only thing that can be heard during operation is a slight crackling of plastic sometimes.
In my childhood, such crackling, as well as a characteristic smell, were when we burned wires. nine0217 Wires, Carl. How much has changed since then.
In addition to being smaller, the handle is very light. In addition, it goes into standby mode after five minutes of inactivity - well done.
TTX
Model: RP-1000a
Power: 12V DC
Print material: ABS-plastic: Moduity Regulated Regulated 160 to 250 C
Heating power: 12V 3A
Nozzle diameter: 0.4 - 0.7 mm (indicated on the package)
Warranty period: 12 months
Pros:
- Simplicity
- Dimensions
- Temperature and feed rate controllers
- In the event of a device malfunction, a free exchange is provided
Separately used set of 12 REC resin:
Diameter: 1.75 mm
It couldn't be easier: like ordinary felt-tip pens, only much more fun.
As usual, I was pleased with the simplest instruction on a small sheet, with images - a minimum of reading, a maximum of action!
The key parameters are heating rate and feed temperature. Their correct combination plus a little skill allow you to freely use the device. nine0005
First, get your hands on it - here you can take pictures of snowflakes on a sheet of paper. You can download them here.
It is with these stencils that the rainbow girl begins her work, dedicating her channel to the possibilities of 3D drawing. Here's what she gets:
Important! All videos with 3D pens are sped up to some extent. In fact, the process of 3D modeling is more painstaking and unhurried work with plastic.
Safety:
- Do not touch the tip - up to 230 degrees according to the instructions and up to 250 according to TTX.
- Do not give to children under 8 years old (a terrible injustice: of course, give, but under supervision).
- Ventilate the room
- Don't leave switched on
- Do not melt anything with a pen.
What to draw?
Here is a DIY pen project site where you can find project descriptions and stencils in the public domain. Pinterest dedicated to wire sculpture and products made with a 3D pen. nine0005
Brooklyn Bridge project, stencils for which are publicly available at the link above.
Wire sculpture, which, according to Wikipedia, appeared in ancient Egypt and received a second wind in the 20th century, is very similar to what can be created with a pen. We found the most interesting works from Frank Plant, an American sculptor living in Barcelona:
The man on the box and the headphones are the work of Frank Plant. nine0218
Equipment
Many works that can be found on the Internet, made with a 3d pen, look depressingly clumsy. Firstly, in the first 3Doodler, there were difficulties with the speed and temperature of the feed. Secondly, there were no specific techniques for working with a pen.
In this article, the expert shares some of his best practices. We tested what works and what doesn't:
Plastic film
Like: Hold the pen perpendicular and press it against the paper. Drive in a circular motion or straight, fast enough. The resulting plastic film is quite flexible.
Actually: ... and quite fragile. Method is not very .
Shaping
How: ABS cures in the air, but PLA cures a little slower, so you have 5-8 seconds to touch it up with your fingers. The main thing is not to get burned. The finished ABS product can be slightly warmed up and bent, correcting the irregularities. nine0005
Actually: is a pain if the plastic does not harden immediately. It is better to adjust the temperature and feed rate so that this does not happen. If something doesn’t work out, it’s easier to just cut it off with scissors and do it again. We never burned our fingers on plastic.
Hold product with second hand
Like: With second hand. The fact is that the first works all tried to draw right in the air. But the more part of the product is ready, the more convenient it is to take it in your free hand and turn it around while continuing to draw. nine0005
Actually: Works. This is how we made our "lamp" which you will see below.
Finished product polishing
Like: The article gives three options.
- Bonsai technique: cut off the excess - it works.
- Soften with a hair dryer - does not work. It would be strange if the hair dryer (for the head!) Heats up to 230C.
- Soften with pen nose - does not work. Or it works, but somehow not very efficiently. nine0284
Actual: A soldering iron is probably best suited for this purpose. Sanding on ABS plastic will not work, but you can try with a file - although there is a chance that the part will break in the process.
Any base
How to: You can create a product on almost any base, not only on paper or table. You can embed glass, small mirrors, fridge magnets, printed circuit boards, etc. into plastic. For example, this sea fish project was created on a wooden blank. And these are fridge magnets:
Actually: Works great. You need a frame on which you can "pull" the plastic further. Therefore, it is better to either immediately “draw” it and then pick it up, or use at least a piece of paper as a basis.
"String Theory"
How: The sloppy look of many products was due to frozen "tails" or "strings" that appeared if the handle was not removed at the right time. If you need to create a "string" of plastic (for example, you are creating a "lawn") stretching from the product - stop pressing the plastic feed button and quickly remove the handle. If you want to avoid creating a string like this, stop feeding the head and hold the knob in place for a few seconds.
nine0005
Actually: Partly true, but on the finished product, such a string can simply be cut off with scissors. And it's easier than fooling around like that.
What did we end up with?
First very strong nothing :
Then we tried to use the pen to finish the fixture we soldered last time. You probably remember the row of red diodes that did not light up? Everything is in order, it still does not burn, but:
The prototype turned out exactly as we wanted. Here you still need to think over the body of the base and complete the installation. As in the examples above, the combination of light and plastic made with a pen creates a pretty effect.
I will experiment more, but I liked the process itself. Plastic can be replaced quickly and it is convenient to work with different colors. There were no issues with the handle. In addition, the “lampshade” for the device, created “out of thin air”, pleased with this fact alone.
Of course, unlike the prototype projects above, this is the wildest DIY yet, but we will continue to explore the possibilities of the device. nine0005
Verdict: It's possible to quickly sketch a prototype by hand or painstakingly draw a finished model with a 3D pen. It will remain in my DIY arsenal, especially since plastic is used quite sparingly. The main advantage here is the fascination of the process itself.
Software and 3D modeling are not needed - this is a plus, just draw a stencil and circle it with a pen. Products are light and transmit light well - this can also be used.
Of the minuses - the products are quite fragile and brittle; look more like rainbow crafts than technological gadgets. nine0005
Although the latter can just be used for DIY - I was quite satisfied with my "lampshade". In this form, he will go to the competition from Masterkit. If I'm lucky, next time I'll write about prototyping with a 3D printer (although, in my case, of course, this can only happen if there is no more work in the competition =).
