The IDEA

Using the opera money that we have been collecting ( we sing at the Children's Chorus at the Met Opera ) -- we finally collected enough money to buy a Makerbot. It is a 3D printer, and my brother and I have been able to design a lot of cool stuff.   I use Blender ( which you can download for free), and try to make designs in my head become real. Here are some of the designs I have done.


This is a griffin that I designed. It was a little difficult to print because the overhang was too wide. I had to add little rods so the plastic could anchor itself.


The next things I did are :

The sword of Awesomeness. This sword I made for my LEGO knights. The ones that they sell are not very detailed - nor very cool. So I made this Flambard sword.
