This OpenSCAD file was created by the PixSCAD app. The app got started at the First Makerbot Thingiverse Hackathon April 6-7, 2013.

This app allows users to be able to turn images into printable 3D Objects. It generates a height map as a relief of the image, coded in OpenSCAD file which can then be furthered customized using the Thingiverse Customizer. Advanced and experienced users can custom tailor the output by using the OpenSCAD app and modifying the code by further manipulating the image data.

We hope to make it available on the Apple Appstore shortly - for free.

We want to thank Makerbot for the opportunity to participate in this first Makerbot Thingiverse Hackathon.

Nike+ data visualizer application, generated as a part of the MakerBot Hackathon, April 6-7, 2013.

The application reads your Nike+ exercise data and generates a Customizable Thing containing your data. You can then Customize your Thing to add your name and scale the model to the size you'd like to print. At the moment, we visualize one week of your data.

The generated Thing has STLs for printing in a single color (use the STL named 'both') and dualstrusion (merge the 'left' and 'right' STLs).

Developers are Robert Carlsen (http://www.thingiverse.com/technophobe), Sune Kaae and Laird Popkin (http://www.thingiverse.com/laird).

UPDATE: Source code is released on GitHub here: github.com/sunekaae/activity-visualizer.

Enjoy!

I've scaled up Steeve Becker's cropped version of David Neff's 123D Catch scan from the Met MakerBot Hackathon to (almost) life-size and sliced it into pieces for the MakerBot Cupcake.

This is my second life-size sculpture print. The whole thing is 38.4cm tall assembled.

It'll be a few weeks before I can do final cleaning and painting, but I didn't want to wait any longer to share the project.

Two sets of files are available: One for stock Cupcakes (26 parts, untested), and one for tall Cupcakes like mine (16 parts). (Zydac's Z-axis upgrade at thingiverse.com/thing:4716 is very easy and highly recommended.)

Scan of a Bronze Sculpture at the Walter's Art Museum.

Only half of the sculpture was scanned, and the model was mirrored to make the other half.

For those who like to RTFM, here's the official Autodesk University 2011 123D Catch manual!

It may be a little outdated, but it was invaluable at the Met MakerBot Art Hackathon!

The license should probably be ©2011 Autodesk, Inc. All rights reserved, but that doesn't exist here, so it's shared with the closest license to ARR.

This was a derivative art work created at the Metropolitan Museum Makerbot Hackathon. The experience was incredible. Elements from the Met collection were incorporated into the piece via Autodesk's 123D Catch. Support bars were inserted to aid in printing; this aspect might require some adjustment.

This puppet was made with my husband Keith Ozar thingiverse.com/OZAR at the Metropolitan Museum of Art MakerBot Hackathon. We felt so bad for the "Standing Female Deity, possibly Durga" without her arms- now she is definitely Durga!
Keith captured the head with 123D catch and
I modeled the body and arms in Blender from turnaround photos I took in the gallery. We printed the body on our Thing-O-Matic at home after the first day and printed the head and arms on a Replicator at the event on day 2. It was a whirlwind and I wish the parts fit together a little better, but as my second MakerBot project ever- I think we did a good job. We wanted to share what we accomplished at this awesome event and will continue to refine this! This design is inspired by the old fashioned "Jumping Jack" toy.

This was a derivative art work created using 3D scanned data from the Met Museum collection. Autodesk's 123D was used for scanning during the Met MakerBot Hackathon, June 2012. The concept was developed by Sean Justice; modeling execution was by Erol Gunduz. For more information on the original museum element goto the link below:
