Guess what this is...

 

Guess what these are ? And what they're made from. (Hint: Check the post's tags!)

I can't share the details yet, but if you are curious you'll have to come down to our company in Multan to figure it out!

Fixing the "A software problem has caused Meshmixer to close unexpectedly" Problem

Image
Anyone who works in the 3D Printing sphere can attest that Meshmixer is an amazing software when it comes to mesh repair, cutting up prints into smaller parts and for adding some last minute digital sculpt alterations to our models. But how would one even get to enjoy what Meshmixer has to offer if it crashes every time you open it? Well, luckily I have found a solution for this! Firstly, make sure you have tried the solutions given in the official Meshmixer FAQ page. If it still doesn't work, then you can try solution number two! From my limited understanding (and scouring of internet forums), the problem could be that we do not  have a graphics card that has built-in OpenGL support. Thus, we need to place the opengl32 library file in Meshmixer's file location. Here is the link for the opengl32.dll file. But a google search for opengl32.dll will help you find another link as well. (Note the size should be 25MB so be mindful of that when installing the file.) This video  helped

Making an 8DOF Quadruped

Image
  I tried my hand at making a Quadruped Robot; an 8-DOF one as opposed to the typical 12-DOF ones. It is still very much a WIP, but I just couldn’t wait to make a post about it. In the top most photo you can see how it is taking serial inputs from a GUI application. The application itself was made using Processing. The GIF below shows how I send the servo values using the interactive knobs and pressing the respective servo buttons. For instance, HLF would mean Hip Left Front and KLB would be Knee Left Back. So if I set the HLF knob to be of a certain value, and then press the HLF button, it will send a command to move the front left servo connected to the hip, to the desired position. The GUI establishes Serial communication with the Arduino.  Spent so many hours 3D Printing the body. (The STL files were obtained from this Instructables page ). To provide sufficient current to all my servos, I also bought

Digital Sculpting with MeshMixer...

Image
Those of you who have used MeshMixer for mesh repairing purposes must be aware how this software can be used for digital sculpting as well. Well let's just say I went a little crazy with it. The pointy finger hand was obtained from f ree3d.com. Thoughts? You may think it's weird. I call it avant-garde.  Cowboy hat obtained from source      No... I will not be entertaining criticism. 😏 Alright, I did cave in and try to make something more public-friendly. Daddy bear has a lovely pout! To conclude, I had fun working with MeshMixer. I'm definitely going to keep making organic models using the digital sculpting tool, and keep 3D Printing them. :)
