CES2013

Here's a handy CES2013 3D printing-focused round up from 3ders.org. Know of any surprise launches not on their list? Share it in the comments (and drop them a tip!):

The Consumer Electronics Show, or CES, is one of the largest showcases of new technology in the world. Hosted by the Consumer Electronics Association in Las Vegas during Jan.8~11, CES 2013 will open to press and exhibitors from every facet of the electronics industry. Every major technology company participates in the International CES, by exhibiting, speaking, sponsoring, attending or holding co-located events and business meetings. One of the biggest stories at the 2013 International CES will be the Windows 8 operating system, but besides that, you will also discover many important trends and one of them is 3D printing.

At CES 2012, 3D Systems and Makerbot unveiled their newest 3D printer, Replicator and Cubify. At CES 2013, at least eight companies are expected to showcase their 3D printers or 3D printing related product and services.

3D printers:

1. 3D Systems

Products:

The company intends to showcase its Cube 3D printer, an affordable 3D content-to-print solutions for professionals and consumers.

Booths: LVCC, Central Hall – 15447

2. Stratasys

Booth: LVCC, South Hall 4 – 35463

3. Formlabs

The Formlabs team will bring Form 1, the first desktop stereolithography 3D printer to Las Vegas to give live print demonstrations and show plenty of sample prints.

Booth: LVCC, South Hall 4 – 35160

4. Makerbot

Products: Makerbot Replicator 2

Booth: LVCC, South Hall 3 – 32025

5. Afinia

Products: Afinia H-Series 3D Printer

Afinia will be showing it's award winning 3D printer, and full line of ABS filament. Live 3D printing demonstrations will be held continuously during the day.

Booth: LVCC, South Hall 4 – 36388

6. Delta Micro Factory Corp. (PP3DP)

Products: UP! 3D Printer | UP! Plus 3D Printer | UP! Mini 3D Printer

Booth: Venetian Ballroom – 70524

3D printing service:

1. Sculpteo

Sculpteo has its own 3D printing facilities in France for R&D purpose and offers a fully online 3D printing service.

This 2013 edition is a very special one for Sculpteo. Sculpteo will officially receive the Innovations Awards 2013 for Best Software & Mobile App with 3DPcase, a custom 3D printed iPhone case service.

Booth LVCC, South Hall 2 – 26111

2. Kraftwurx

Kraftwurx is based in Houston, TX, is the worlds original platform for 3D printing in the cloud.

At CES Kraftwurx will unveil Digital Factory and the Kraftwurx Platform powered by Digital Factory.

Booth: Venetian, Lvl 3 – 74411

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don't forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!

The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you've made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we'll feature it here!

Hi....

Hopefully, even when the motors were all 4.5v you weren't running them from the Arduino 5v pin...

The important point about servos is that the motor's power supply and its control are separate by their very nature. So, all you need to do is hook...

Only the supply grounds will be common, so there should be no problems.

I'm not sure I see much advantage in using digital servos, unless the camera is very, very light.

It's not a MAC or mac, it's a Mac.

Capitalization matters. You may think I am nit-picking but wait until you start coding in C.

Hi !

I just discovered the project : great idea, great thinkering !
I'm going to try it at home

... and it's going to be very usefull !

One question : I saw some discussion about stacking pictures. If I understood well instead of getting one image ...

Hi,
As a part of a college project work, I am trying to run a Pan, Tilt, shoot system with Arduino Uno for Automated Video shooting.
When we began the project, all 3 Servo motors were 4.5 V each.

GoPro Hero3 Frame #3dthursday

Posted: 03 Jan 2013 01:00 AM PST

GoPro Hero3 Frame

Here's a nice, practical mounting frame for the GoPro Hero3 from Pete Prodoehl's blog Rasterweb:

I like the acrylic housing that comes with the GoPro Hero3, but I tend to run some pretty long time lapses, and the battery doesn't last long enough, so I made a lightweight frame, and it's over on Thingiverse.

I'm (slowly) getting better at OpenSCAD, thanks to projects like this. I'm sure I'll get even better in 2013.

I've got plenty of long USB cables and USB power supplies, as well as a Minty Boost from Adafruit to provide power for shooting hours and days at a time.

Here's a quick time-lapse test I shot before I had the frame. I ended up balancing the GoPro on a book on top of two water bottles, which was silly, and just one more reason for this thing.

The frame has a bit of flex to it so you can easily wrap it around the camera. I may play around with some thicker housings, but for now, it does the job.

I ended up printing about 6 versions before I got one that was good. I should probably do more paper prototyping, but with how easy it is to 3D print things, sometimes you just hit "print" and hope for the best. If it doesn't work out, you tweak things and try again. It's just the way it works.
