Glasses
Description
I decided to start out with some nice thick frames inspired primarily by Cory Doctorow and Bre Pettis, though I have plans for a lot more styles and shapes.
As for practicality...
I honestly wasn't expecting these to be comfortable but they actually are. They're really light and after a while I forget I'm even wearing them. I can even wear them over my normal glasses.
PLUS major geek bonus points for wearing GLASSES YOU PRINTED YOURSELF.
Instructions
They fit my face pretty much perfectly. Let me know if people need the back pieces longer/shorter and that can definitely be done easily.

These are very awesome considering how expensive frames are. I just wish it was a little less nerdy (not that it's a bad thing). I'd consider designing something closer to oakley's. I'm still putting this on my print list so I can impress my friends lol
"Let me know if people need the back pieces longer/shorter and that can definitely be done easily."
Here's an idea: parametric temples
Simply change one scalar variable to adjust the temple arm length.
These glasses remind me of BCGs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G...
Hey, Will!
These glasses are amazing! I am really looking forward to print some fully functioning glasses.
Btw, is it a polycarbonate you used to make these glasses?
Best, Raymond.
I haven't really done a ton of testing with the actual "lens" material. I've only tried thin transparency sheets which worked okay but definitely not great. Thin'ish polycarb seems like it would work perfectly and hopefully I'll get a chance to test it in the near future.
Very cool. You could probably embed lenses. Start print, pause print, insert lenses, continue print.
Although the makerbot can't make the lenses, would it be possible to insert them half-way through the build process
&
amp; trap them?

Haha, very neat! I demo the RepRap a lot. A common question is: "can you print a pair of glasses with it". Now I can say that it prints it (excl. lenses) and that the files are already freely available and easy to customize.
About customizing them: the original CAD files are more suitable for that than the STLs...
Impressive!
Cut out some polycarbonate and you have safety specs . . . . CUSTOM safety specs!
