In late 2017 I found the YouTube channel “MV Dirona” and was fascinated with the design of this motor yacht. The owners, James and Jennifer Hamilton, also runs a very nice blog with lots of posts about their adventures cruising the world. Maybe it was the way it manages to look like a big ship …
Converting a small RC-boat to a cruise ferry! During the summer vacation 2019 my son, then 5 years old, wanted a small RC-boat converted into his favorite cruise ferry: MS Viking Grace. The idea came from when we were travelling with Grace and in the lobby area sits a very nice detailed model of the …
Koenigsegg has always fascinated me even though I’m not particularly interested in cars in general. My interest is more technical. What they have achieved is amazing and has probably not escaped any car enthusiasts notice, but one more unusual aspect stands out – the openness about the process. Not many companies – especially not in …
I needed a house model for a project, and I needed it quick. Because of the fact that I still haven’t taken care of arranging the necessary periferal equipment to be able to print with the Photon DLP resin printer, I was forced to use my old trusty Prusa MK2 for this print. So how …
I guess all of us 3D-printing enthusiasts have been in this situation many times where we search for something to print, trying to come up with ideas. Ironically it’s the pretty much the wrong way to start, it’s a bit like pulling out the hammer from your toolbox and search for something to bang it …
A little over a year ago, right after I bought my first 3D-printer (and the only one to date) I wanted to do something to my sons toy train system, a wooden Brio system. I started working on some drawings but were dissatisfied with the result. The track format made it very hard to create …
One of the best sources of inspiration is to see real masterpieces created by the very best builders. This is one of those, and actually the very one that got me interested in creating a couple of RC-controlled, 3D-printed scale boats. Materia is an Italian company creating true master pieces of model building. Most of …
I know it’s been a bit unclear how to get hold of the STL’s for the Combat Boat 90 project. Instead of sending you a giant zip-file with the almost 100 STL’s, I give you access to a restricted part of my forum where the STL’s are published in an easier to overview way. Here’s …
If you came here from the 3D-printing community on facebook, this project is probably what brought you here. Either way, here is a short brief of this project. I’ve been CAD’ing and 3D-printing a lot of train toys/models (see previous post) during 2017, and towards the end of the year I wanted to do a …
Hello world! As a programmer it’s impossible not to use the most universe first sentence of any user interface system. Although wordpress doesn’t really need my help right now, so I’m free to continue and write a post with something more interesting. This will be quite a monumental post, as I will try to sum …
