Duncan Smith. Designer Spotlight

Meet The Gadget Master aka. /Adylinn

 

Simple, elegant, and relatively easy to print.

We’re back with another designer spotlight and today we’re focusing on another one of our premium designers, Duncan Smith!

Duncan comes from an engineering based background and enjoys designing and 3D printing in his spare time. Like many others, he jumped into 3D printing as a result of the falling price point and improvements in the technology and has now been involved for 4 years.

image

Check Duncan’s Designs here.

Duncan started out modelling in Autodesk 123D after he purchased a Robo3D R1 as his first printer. Since then, he’s moved on leaps and bounds and has therefore moved on to using Fusion 360 and an Ultimaker 3.

image

Check Duncan’s Designs here.

Duncan began using his 3D printer to print out various household objects which he needed but didn't want to buy. This allowed him to step up his 3D modelling skills as he had existing concepts which he could build from and around. Designing to cater to his needs and wants around the house caused him to naturally gravitate towards designing these household deco items.

image

Check Duncan’s Designs here.

Duncan also enjoys taking a hands-on approach to designing as he doesn’t spend a lot of time sketching out plans for his objects, instead preferring to get stuck in straight away with the 3D modelling of them. He often also will sit on designs for some time and come back to them once he’s had a sudden idea or brainwave. Objects, therefore, go through many iterations before an upload.

Duncan plans to carry on releasing his home deco objects as well as having plans to move into tech accessories as well as kitchenware. We love what he’s doing so from all of us here at MyMiniFactory.


Keep up the good work Duncan!

Mark Durham - Designer Spotlight

Mark Durham
Today, we’ll be focusing on one of our more prominent store designers, Mark enjoys designing and printing in between his role as Senior Deputy Captain for the Fire Brigade as well as raising Wagyu beef cattle in rural New South Wales, Australia.

See Object - Lisa Menorah

Having graduated from Sydney College of the Arts in 1980,  Mark has been involved with design for most of his life. He is now semi-retired but has worked as a graphic designer on numerous projects including a number of motorsport magazines, 6 years working on the news/graphics departments for multiple TV channels as well as being a partner for a publishing company working on a ‘new age’ magazine.

 See Object -Candelabra

After gain an interest in 3D printing in the 90’s when the technology was still in its infancy and as a result, learnt about 3D modelling with the software FreeCAD as well as dabbling in Meshmixer. Mark was able to start producing his designs when 3D printers became commercially available and currently uses an Anet A8 for his designs. He stresses the usefulness of the A8 3D printer as the work bed allows him to print his designs which are usually fairly large.

image

See Object - Tri Vent Chandelie

Mark began with using 3D printing to design spare and replacement car parts which had very rigid structures but as he became more skilled with 3D design he moved on to more complex and organic shapes. In the future, he has plans to produce other household decor items as well as his chandeliers.

See Object - HelicalTcandle

Mark would also like to stress his thanks towards his customers who have bought his store items as well as those who have tipped him as these really spur him on to continue creating his fantastic designs.

Keep lighting Up our platform Mark!

Share your 3D design renders on Facebook

image


Did you know you could now upload your 3D designs directly to Facebook as “3D Posts”?

Facebook have just released a feature allowing its users to share 3D designs by converting their STL files into gITF 2.0 format.

Wondering how to convert your STL file to a GBL file for a 3D post on Facebook?

No more struggle! MyMiniFactory have just made that easier by enabling users to upload their 3D design renders onto Facebook with just one click.

With this new feature, you only need to:

Go to the object page

Click on Object Parts

Click on the Facebook Icon

Post it!

It’s that easy.

image


When we heard the news that Facebook had introduced the 3D post feature, we had to learn how to do it. With a platform so packed of incredible 3D designs, so we would be silly not to right? While trying it out for ourselves we realised how difficult it can be to export files as GBL. So, we decided to make it easier for everyone, and integrated the “Share as a Facebook 3D post” on MyMiniFactory to allow you to easily show how the world what you or your favourite designers are capable of.

The “Share as a Facebook 3D Post” feature allows Facebook users to rotate, turn and play around with MyMiniFactory 3D printable objects, and allows them to see objects from a 3D perspective. This has created a new, fun and interactive form of content for users and companies alike.

This feature is essential, as it allows users who do not have 3D printers to interact with 3D objects and to bring 3D Printing and design to a mainstream market. Designers can also share an object in a 3D post as a way to demonstrate the intricate design techniques or internal channels that they may have created.

We are the first 3D content sharing platform to have integrated “Share as a Facebook 3D Post” in our platform, allowing users who upload objects to MyMiniFactory to directly share their designs as a 3D post on Facebook. Users are already using the feature as a way to encourage their favourite designers or to show off their latest designs and we will carry on encouraging them to do so.

How to Spend Your Time like a Nerd in Cancun

Words from our Scanbassador David Jeuniaux, currently venturing through Cancun as part of a South American tour, armed with his camera and a strong passion for culture, photogrammetry and 3D printing!  


When I say the word vacation, what do you picture? I bet it would involve a blue sea, palm trees, white sand and overwhelming heat. Now add Mayan ruins and a plethora of tourists, and you will have a good idea of what Cancun is like.

I was there with my beloved girlfriend and, like a massively proud nerd that I am, I spent most of my time at archaeological sites and museums.

Two of my passions are History of Ancient Civilizations and Photogrammetry, and this trip is a great opportunity to mix them in a giant “spend 8 hours per day in museums and piss girlfriend off” kind of way.

In this article, I will talk about the Museo Maya de Cancun (MMC), the most postcard-ready place in the world.
