Hello fellow Hubs,
For a while now I’ve been wanting to make this “Machine Series” print
I’m not even sure what it is, but I just love the design and I feel it’s a very powerful print that does not have this cheap plastic look to it.
To see more images, go to:

To download the files, check:

All parts are saved as a single .stl, so you still have to split them in seperate parts using Cura or so.
To get an idea about the design, see these Sketchfab renders:
I decided to print them on my BeeTheFirst, so no tweaking involved. Size wise it was pushing the Bee to the max. I also wanted to test some different colors, so I printed a few variants. Here’ the results
All props of course go to the guys behind the Machine Series. Hope you like it!
Cheers
Filemon

YAY at last! I sat hassling @ for 3 days about what he was printing convinced that it the pieces had to have some practical use.
The finished prints look great! And have to admit that I am impressed that you got the teal to print! What’s the secret?
They’re great aren’t they? I’ve printed a few sets already.

The whole project was directed as in using FFF based prototyping methods as a possible solution for consumer products. (by IDEO) The traditional layers of the object are cleverly hidden in the shape of the model itself.
Great prints @! Had some of these lying around as well. Maybe link back to the story, as it is a really nice article/interview on prototyping and designing with the current methods of consumergrade 3D printing
Thanks Ken! Do you have a link to the article? I’ll make sure to include it in the thread
