MaKeyMaKey

MaKeyMaKey   The MaKeyMaKeys are just one of the TLC's awesome DIY electronics kits! Come in on maker nights or schedule an appointment to get the full tour! What is a MaKeyMaKey? A MaKeyMaKey is an easy-to-use circuit board that fools your computer into thinking any items wired to the MaKeyMaKey are buttons on a keyboard. This means you can use fruit, play-dough, or even pencil lead to create your own game, software, or PC interfaces! Contact the TLC This email address is being protected from spambots.

3D Printer: Makerbot Replicator 2X

Makerbot: Replicator 2X     What is a 3D Printer? Much like a normal 2D printer prints2D on flat (2D) paper, a 3D Printer creates 3D objects. Just as there are different kinds of ink, 3D printers use different materials to produce objects. The Makerbot Replicator 2X prints with ABS plastic, extruding it into layers a bit like a robotic hot glue gun. Using the Cape May County Library 3D Printers Where do I start? First, you need something to print. You can go to Thingiverse and pick out something you like. Take a look at the top in the URL where it says "http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:NUMBER" and write down the number after "thing:". For example, check out our plaque made in the TLC by James: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:647449 You can see in the URL that this object is thing number 647449. You can also create your own 3D model from any number of 3D modeling software available. We recommend SketchUp, Blender and TinkerCad but, you can use any modeling software as long as you save your file in a usable format. We commonly print with STL files but we are able to print with STL, OBJ, DAE and AMF. How much does it cost? It costs $1 to use the printer and an additional 5 cents per gram. So the heavier the object is, the more it will cost, though most prints are under $5. Skills & Prerequisites You must follow our 3D Printing Policy. See below. No skills are required to make a print. 3D modeling skills may be helpful in making exactly what you want. Contact us to set up an appointment if you are interested in learning basic 3D modeling skills. 3D Printing is an amazing tool that can be utilized in more ways than you might think. Check out MAKE Magazine, Thingiverse or the TLC Twitter page to see what is new in the world of 3D Printing! Important things to keep in mind Unfortunately, the TLC is not able to design something for you. We can only print files found online or made by you that are in the proper file types. You must be with the printer the entire time your object is printing. The machine is not perfect and it can jam. Sometimes, prints can fail. Keeping an eye on it is the only safe way to operate the equipment. This occasionally means that prints must be restarted. The larger and denser the object is, the longer it will take to print. Some prints can take several hours, so be sure your time is flexible on the day of your appointment. You can e-mail us the thingiverse URL and we can give an estimate on the time it might take.

3D Printer: Ultimaker 2

Ultimaker 2     What is a 3D Printer? Much like a normal 2D printer prints2D on flat (2D) paper, a 3D Printer creates 3D objects.

3Doodler 2.0

3Doodler The 3-Doodlers are on their way! Costs and policies related to the 3Doodlers will be updated here as soon as they've arrived. What is a 3Doodler? A 3Doodler is a bit like our 3D printer's "hot ends." That is, it's a pen-shaped plastic-melting device that creates a slow stream of cooling plastic. It's a bit like a hand-held glue gun, except we use it to create projects out of plastic instead of sticking pieces together. Contact the TLC This email address is being protected from spambots.
