Instructions
Really though, you can only get through 4 or 5 layers before your arm feels like it’s going to fall off, and the resulting object will look like a stringy blob of plastic vomit. The source is in the FaceCube GitHub repository github.com/nrpatel/FaceCube . I don’t recommend actually using it, but if for some reason you want to, the dependencies are mindbogglingly complex. You’ll need to install OpenNI and NITE to start with; this guide keyboardmods.com/2010/12/howto-kinect-openninite-skeleton.html at Keyboardmods is helpful. You’ll also need my branch of OSCeleton github.com/nrpatel/OSCeleton , which improves on hand tracking. With the Kinect hooked up, you can run ./osceleton -n -f to start hand tracking in an Open Sound Control server. You can then run the gestureprinter.py script, which requires pyOSC, pygame, and the RepRapArduinoSerialSender script from Skeinforge, which is also in the FaceCube repository. Of course, you’ll also need both a Kinect and a 3D printer that is compatible with the Gcode that RepRap firmwares use. The script is set up for my printer specifically, but it should be straightforward to tweak for others if you dare.
