This weekend, I printed Dizingof's 'http://www.ponoko.com/design-your-own/products/joint-stars-math-art-7491' on my UM2. It's a tough print because there are lots of structurally critical, totally unsupported, overhangs - so I used Meshmixer to create support struts throughout. I printed it at 30mm/s, with 0.1mm layers. Finished print is 10cm high. The finished surface was really excellent, even on the overhangs, and the supports removed very easily, although the internal supports holding up the top needed a bit of ingenuity to extract. I have to say I'm delighted with it, although at 21.5 hours, it was the longest print I've ever done.

Took me forever to do this. And it is still rougher than I would have liked. 3D concept rendering: Finished piece:

I just finished this. It was a multi-part print for ease of painting. Some of it I am not sure what happened...but hey, it is purty....And, I am unanimous in that ? Test Render Parts

Bath interferometers. I have made about 20 of these for people who use them to test their telescope mirrors. They are amazingly accurate and can do better than a $40,000 Zygo PSI optical tester. Th
