when you are whichever comes over there
and put the other 50 this curtain and we
can more and ok available oh how I kind
of stuff uh leo has our handle yeah if
you're helping that he's a little bit
about the book um I tried to really
focus on the images as well as the
objects and a little bit of background
about meeting I'm a professional product
designer I've worked for a firm called
smart design as well as other firms I've
worked on robots things like really
serious robot this is a whole cleaning
robot that i worked from design hug and
i also have worked on robots and
universities who's Simon and he's a
robot at the georgians technology was
created to study how he is humans might
attract with machines
this is Simon's husband's name is Kerry
Simon was featured in The New York Times
and here's all the 3d printing that took
place we were developing Simon and when
i get this work as well the work that i
do clients we need pictures were really
really expensive and only did this on
special occasions for special projects
but when a desktop printers started
appearing I realized it was a really
important moment in history and I
decided that I wanted to do a project
about it and I realized that I wanted
their project to be really cool and to
really do it for ease about how 3d
printers going to be in our lives so
this will cover the public psyche and
other objects and characters will be
downloaded 3d printed and began a
character creation and story development
early priority so here we have Carla who
is the main character and his story is a
little bit my story room and are they we
can do who is a pretty printing robot
and he says Tommy sheep and usually with
the little prince yeah Jim Hanson xilla
that's my homage to marry I love the
little prince as a kid and I still have
with me so Leo is the maker prints and
he says fergie she and then Leo the word
that I built the story was that I wanted
his Anatomy as a robot to really explain
how 3d printing works so he has a
filament spool of plastic on his back
and he has a tail whether he didn't Ozil
at the end of it and when he gets the
Sheep drawing he scans it then he goes
through any actually built it and then
in the book every time there's an object
there it is and so if you go back to the
booth you'll see i actually have 3d
printed versions of this very sheet and
then some of the other stories we have
inventor and he makes his own kind of
robot dog we have a jewelry designer and
then she has a
30 odd um yeah we're all meeting for a
moment that's where download toys she
makes the coolest friends in a fellow
who wants eyes open oh so you go to a
quarry gets downloaded 3d printed um
there's a character called Nathan and he
lives by the beach so he gets a seat and
it is already printed on beach sandals
we can leave footprints that are like
octopus tentacles there's a Chevy and
there's also imposed with his family to
the moon and a lot of this one was
really based on real research so I've
been research about using printers to
modify the deluded don't worry about my
architectural this team very fantastical
but a lot of it is really tired I think
so i've been reading is a little like
that scripture has been all over the
world have been downloading and pretty
printing objects the she was gonna leave
our cups who am i working with and you
know another think that people will do
is they'll kind of had their own spin
and be creative about it so we see a lot
of the she put the one that you'll see
and i was waiting today that someone
would wait the black sheep and it
happened and i really love your filter
because not only is it the black sheep
is really nefarious and there's
something going on in the background and
people of Prince good karma character
they print the jewelry there's a lot of
videos out there there's one fellows
even starting to do some fanfiction
he'll tell me cool gauges no it was
advising a new dress for Carla to be
built in a factory like a pen oh now
here's Leon Carlos got the biggest inner
dress prototype biggest worry not only
two plastic but he can Peppa can erase
yeah so the eyeglass animals I really
have those all that show what I'm not
here today what is our computer for gay
teens then we created number the objects
um this is what what happens if you have
one just reading a visual
so those of you who have a 3d printer I
think I'm graded from here with
spaghetti but that's okay the Pioneers
that's what happens um so she was really
into a process all of the objects in the
book I'm a big believer in drawing so I
worked with a really lovely assistant
who the product design students and we
lot of average design and thinking about
how can we capitalize on what the 3d
printer can do so we have a lot of doing
that blue Jeep that has a whole pattern
that might use algorithm settled on this
kind of loud ugly and I used final as my
modeling tool we know is a 3d printing
packages is something I would use a
special designer but if you're getting
started I would recommend Tinkercad or
some of the Autodesk 123 sweet um making
terrible so here's one of the first test
prints of the sheet legs and they were
all attached and you know one thing too
that I made me actually it shows you
know you know what I try to do was have
things that are in different colors she
has black legs the white body and I
shape these connections where you can
put it into the body and they snap in
and you know I built the main part of it
and then I do this sort of subtracting
of where the negative space from say the
legs is from me the Liam character was a
really process design design robots
professionally and I thought of being
kind of the same way this were merely a
robot so this didn't make it in the book
but it's one of my favorite images and
it shows um how Leo's anatomy explain
straining printing so he has a kid not
his holiness particularly a tail and he
has a standard size and you know as a
designer what I really wow the robots
what the relationship is a person so
there was a lot about gesture how would
you take the drawing I would hand you
she was dogging the tiger highly
important moment and so these are some
of the drawings anything or maybe maybe
it's on his head around farm but we want
them settling on you know the today on
top of his head and the trait being able
to move a finger drawing and things like
that so you know and I really wanted
these objects to be kind of satisfying
and fun and playful so doesn't think I'm
just static I made movable parts so this
is what a top view of the 3d file for
Leo looks like again you can see I use
these interlocking joinery so um this is
a something I really like to use a lot
where you see because the plastic will
just spend a little bit and and then you
can see that there's an opening has a
very and at the end of the opening it
can kind of expand and click into place
so once you get a system with that
together you can kind of apply it to
other things um another thing that I
knew I wanted to do is I wanted to
include the idea of using mathematics as
a basis for creating fort so one of the
characters in the book is seems to
Stephanie and Stephanie makes jewelry
I'm actually wearing the jewelry that
Stephanie a day and seven East jewelry
is based on a formula called Vermont
spiral so what I didn't I went back to
some books that I had actually from my
days in graduate school where I was
looking at graphic design and making
graphical patterns and I revisited some
of those formulas and I learned that
rhino or plugin and the rhino plug in
hell that I was rocking out by foreign
language so um what I was in directing
was right around with some oh and you
know and it was really just for
two-dimensional images and making
graphic design but what I was able to do
was just add another dimension to it and
kind of play around with it so what this
is one of the original forms that i
generated for the jewelry and you know
this wouldn't work because it's you know
thousands of
screen objects and you really can't
print that but what I did was I just
kind of played around with it and tweak
to shape 10 and move to you know this is
a cylinder that is being moved around as
well as scaled vertically and in the x
and y and what I eventually wound up
being able to do was at them to a place
where they all touched each other and
then in the 3d software what you can
really kind of fuse it together so it
becomes this one piece um another thing
I really wanted to do was give everyone
a sense of what the entire array of
materials would be so it was important
to me to including that'll even though
that's not something that you might have
with your home 3d printer but it is
something that the shakeweight service
can do shake weights is also here at
hangar finger and you know I really love
this because I can either put this at
home in plastic or I have a link on the
Leo the makeup reference site where
someone could buy this jewelry in
sterling silver so that's a lot of quiet
but you know in looking at the whole
array of materials I've been reading a
lot of research about 3d printers foods
and so it was very important for me to
include this and what I wound up doing
is I contacted the department at Cornell
University that read about and they're
called the creative machines lab and so
this is a little glimpse of some of the
work that the creative machines lab at
Cornell does and they're really experts
at food so they were able to explain
things to me like one of the key things
they explain is that food to be 3d
printing has to be what they call two
and a half days so not too d and not 3d
but two and a half day and what they
mean by that is it really can have any
overhangs because the food will sag so
you'll notice that none of these things
have overhangs I mean the eyes of the
octopus sort of a little bit but that's
an octopus made with corn bread at the
bottom of the screen there there's a
space shuttle made out of Velveeta
and there's chocolate there's an also a
scallop space shuttle as so what I first
did was the I called him up and I said
I'm working on this project and then we
brainstorm together and we were able to
as a team kind of sketch these different
ideas we looked at game so we looked at
you know interlocking things like Lego
but we wound up set and we really wanted
to do the man on the moon we wanted to
do the moon made of cheese but we
decided that that would be it would be
very tricky to get the resolution and we
wound up settling on the 3d printed
cheese with like a like a cheddar and uh
and like a white cheese um these are
actually plastic but we did have cheese
of FedEx to us but we decided that this
communicated a little bit better one of
my favorite stories about of the
development of the book was how we did
the title and the title was something
that I knew I wanted to be 3d printed
and you know the obvious thing would be
to take the letters and just kind of
extrude them so you just lift them up
and that look like this which is ok you
know that we looked at some other
versions here the maker Prince is a
little askew but I really felt like this
was an important part of the book and we
wanted to experiment a lot and this was
a great example for me about how
experimenting can lead to kind of happy
accidents where you think that your
design is going to be one way and then
because you play with the material it
emerges in another way so I said well
let's try these deep red letter forms so
this is a version where the letters
they're fatter at the bottom and then
they get kind of thinner at the top so
they're kind of it's kind of an
extrusion where everything is tapered so
it splatter at the bottom and in the
what wound up happening with and this is
another thing any of you have 3d
printers are familiar with the printer
kind of quitting in the middle of things
but either the filament get stuck or
doesn't extrude so that was happening
with one of our tapered letters and it
stopped at this point
and I looked at my assistant and we said
that's kind of cool and we thought this
is really beautiful sort of just as it
is and so what we decided to do was we
tried to replicate it in purpose and we
actually wound up building the file and
the title looks like this so that's
where the title came from and it's
really fun to me because people will ask
me you know what is that on how can I
get that hot I said well it's actually
not a fun it's like what happens when
you do this crazy thing and you taper it
in you and then you stop the printer so
that's what the title looks like and
I've loved it so much that I even use it
as the logo i mean i think i might have
it on this t-shirt but this is the logo
that we use on the website and our cards
and things like that so you know the
last item that we have in the book is
the hamster house on the moon so and
again this was very inspired by research
that I had read where there are actually
architects who are experimenting with 3d
printing architecture on the moon then
we decided we would introduce it as a
hamster house so as a designer it's very
important to know your user and I felt
like we can't design a hamster house
unless we know a hamster really well and
we don't so Alexa who is my lovely
apprentice she said well i roam in it i
really want to pack and i said oh my
gosh we're going to pet store right now
so we went and we adopted we need we
need and that you this crowd will
appreciate that weenie is short for
arduino so that's weenie and we got here
you know and i made sure that alexa
really lived with her and really
understood you know what are the spaces
that she needs what might be and what
needs to go inside it where does she eat
where does she sleep that kind of stuff
and we also bought the competitive
products so um this is the oboe
habitrail and
we really try to learn I guess designers
it's just important not to try to
reinvent the wheel every time and I also
look for inspiration so this is the
house from a movie called oblivion and
somehow this just always stuck in my
head and I felt like this is really this
is the house that would be on the moon
this is the future tech house and so
these are some of our sketches again you
know inspired and we kind of thought
about like could there be a wheel in
there with the water bottle be like that
and then we also have to think about
practical things of course so we you
know we'd go to the hardware store and
we would pick up all the things that we
could find that we're interlocking
pieces and we decided that we would make
this house kind of modular like you can
see the kind of figure eight looking
things we thought like you could have
three or you could've for you could have
15 like let's develop a system that's
modular in order to do that we needed to
make sure we have these connections that
could work in many different
configurations so we worked a lot a lot
of the focus of this design was around
the mechanics of how those shells would
snap together and then these are some
scale models of the hamster house so we
have these kind of ends worth it's not
together and then we have these pipes
that go on the top and we'll connect one
floor to the next floor and then this
was the final result I have to say this
is a really tricky one because the clear
plastic is not something that's easy to
get I mean you can buy clear plastic but
it comes out cloudy when you actually
printed so this isn't a little bit more
of an aspirational project that I tell
people is actually probably hard to
replicate at home I used a service
called i materialized which is a lot
like Shapeways and they often a polished
clear plastic as one of the things but
it is quite expensive the other models
are all very accessible and easy to do
very quickly but that's what i wanted to
share with you today we have a website
for the book it's called Leo the maker
Prince calm and there are links there to
all the objects from the book and I
think I have five minutes if anyone has
a question I don't know if I can hear
you but I can try
there are no questions I can show you
thingiverse even chosen was our website
and sometimes he's pictured my last Red
River search too it tells you a little
bit about the story there's a link to
Amazon we've gotten a great amount of
press wired wrote about us Fast Company
The Telegraph in London called us one of
the top 12 best gadgets you can or how
to glad you really fun um but there's a
link to the rail can learn more about
the book there's a limit to make that
are only two fingers which if you're new
to 3d printing I recommend sending a
bracket is a website love you both and
download models all the modern over
objects from me do the man prints are
available on Thingiverse and you can see
a picture of them and then their
instructions for how you put the pieces
together and how you print the pieces
etc so um I think with that I will let
you guys move on to your next with her
unless you had questions like nicollet
okay thanks so much
