Anyone here make 3d models?

We just scored a Makerbot here in the Threadless Art Department!

This means we can take 3d models and print them out!!! It can print up to a 4" cube. Anyone want to make stuff for us to print out? We can download models from Thingiverse but we're much more interested in stuff you guys could make.

I'd like to recreate some Threadless tees in 3d and print them out. I'm reading through this FAQ ... downloading some free 3d software right now :)

Send your STL files to community@threadless.com and we'll make them! Maybe even send you one!

Fun :)

where's jamesf?

Neat-o! I'm sending this to my wife, she's been trying to convince me we need one of these. Maybe she'll want to make something.

Whoa, that's awesome! I've never built 3-d models before, but this seems like something that would make it worth learning how to do that. So cool!

mullmuggins on Aug 04 '11 at 10:50am

Ha! I came in here to nominate Jamesf, but I see that's already in hand.

Bramish on Aug 04 '11 at 10:53am

And I believe James already made a 3d model of tesco's knotty pencil design

I came to drop the jamesf-bomb

And I thought Joe's laser cutter was cool.

From this process blog, Walmazan at least dabbles in it

band-it on Aug 04 '11 at 11:14am

i'll make something.

you could print out my select, but it might be too flakey thin (:

jamesf on Aug 04 '11 at 11:21am

ahoy-hoy!

i do a bit of 3d stuff - i'm actually gonna attempt to remake Ewaken's amsterjam - dunno if you'd be able to make that.

have you got a particular design in mind - something easytodoable would be nice

jamesf on Aug 04 '11 at 11:25am

i've already done this one - might need a bit of work to make it more like Dan's one though.

Hot dog-straddling seems like fun for the whole family! Its not a threadless design and I don't know if it completely meets the specs of what the Makerbot can print, but I thought I would send over the stl file anyway.

agrimony on Aug 08 '11 at 12:51am

applesforjonah on Aug 08 '11 at 12:52am
