The RepRap motto is "wealth without money" - for this assignment you are to create wealth by making an open source design that has value to you. It must be 3D printable on your Jellybox and cost less than a commercial equivalent (if such a thing exists).

Assignment[edit | edit source]

  1. Design something of "high value" that you can 3D print on your Jellybox
  2. Make sure someone else has not already done it - search http://www.yeggi.com/ and http://web.archive.org/web/20191229012720/http://www.yobi3d.com/
  3. Design 3D printable components with ANY CAD program but the use of OS CAD programs (e.g. OpenSCAD, FreeCAD, or Blender) earns extra credit points
  4. Create an account at http://libre3d.com/ or http://thingiverse.com/
  5. Upload your design under an OS license to http://libre3d.com/ or http://thingiverse.com/ - include: Source files, STLs, a picture, and a brief description including costs and $ savings (make sure you make the duration forever) If not using SCAD or Blender - upload your CAD model in a zip file.
  6. Add picture, link to your Libre3d or Thingiverse page with name, commercial equivalent link+cost, and economic savings to table below (see example).
  7. Print component and bring to class - Complete and due by last day of classes this semester

Kesiena Berezi

Bracelet Stand $35.40 This is a reliable piece that can cost less than $6 cents worth of PLA. It could retail for about $20 dollars a piece
Grad-coaster-2.jpg Brad Mulwenge Cup Coaster $10.00 This is a reliable piece that can cost less than 50 cents worth of PLA. It could retail for about 3 dollars a piece
Custom Homerun Ball Stand.jpg Ryandamico Homerun Ball Stand $14.99 Cost of ball stand was around $0.37 each, but I sold 13 of them for $5 each, profiting a total of $62. $15 - $20 ($5 = 25% of price @ $20 market price)
$179 for the chocolate extruder syringe. The cost of the printable extruder part without the syringe would be 3 dollar retail price . The amount of filament used was worth $1 dollar hence making a 2 dollar profit.|}
