Tadao215 - Well I teach Computer Art for so she better know photoshop at 4!!! I help alot though:) The sandstone is actually pretty durable...but ROUGH. She hasn't broke it yet but I told her if she does we can just print a new one.
Jessica - She was! Very amazing the world she is growing up in. She can design all her own toys. Much different from world we grew up in.
Haha, Nick, I always love to see what you cook up. You seem like one of the best Dads ever. So so cool.
Merry Christmas, and I'll see you in GameWizards next quarter.
Oh man this is friggin adorable. Made me smile. Pretty awesome that a kid these days can come up with an imaginary toy and then shortly hold it in their little hands.
Hey prof! Very very cool story, I sure hope that kind of stuff will become the norm soon!
As for the Colored Sandstone material : It's very nice to work with, you can sand it down to a smooth finish easily but the color will wear off. It's also very brittle However it is quite porous, and that might be a very good opportunity to enhance it with 'filler'. If you have some leftover parts or small shapeways samplers, you could try to dip it quickly in urethane resin, it might be able to penetrate the material and make it stronger and smoother!
(I did it on a uncured clay sketch figure that was already cracked and started to fall appart - the resin treatment worked perfectly on it, making it stronger)
Best Krimmus gift ever! Good job Kira! And Nick too, good job Nick How did you get the wheels to work? Did you have to separate them in the file first or just made a tiny gap between the wheel and the axle?
