Scott Mcavoy edited the blog post Fallout T-41 Helmet (My Mini Factory) in the group
Digital Humanities: 22 hours, 8 minutes agoWe used the Winter break to build this full sized PowerPoint helmet from Fallout. We get a lot of cosplay projects coming through the lab, it’ll be cool to be able to show an example of a big long term project. This piece is full sized, wearable (with goggles and foam inside) and composed of 42 individual 3D printed pieces.
We got the file on…[Read more]

Tell Us How UC It: A Living Archive from ““In early February 2010, members of a UC San Diego fraternity held an off-campus party mocking Black History Month. Later that same month at UC San Diego, a noose was discovered in the Geisel Library at the university.” – Campus Climate Project Final Report, March 2014Most recently, on April 2016, “pro-Trump and anti-Mexican graffiti was seen chalked across Library Walk, campus residential areas and outside the Raza Resource Centro.” – Triton News, April 9, 2016

These reoccurring events affect ALL students, underrepresented or not, and demonstrate the need for a conversation about student experiences related to the campus climate at UC San Diego.The UC San Diego Library is creating a “living archive” as an alternative way to highlight awareness, provide a space for dialogue, preserve and document the events related to UC San Diego history.
A living archive is a collection of materials presented in a way that allows for the expression, exhibition, documentation, and preservation of a sentiment or movement in a particular community. This type of “archiving” is living because it is constantly updated with the current climate and consists of all manner of expression from documents of the past to creative expression through art to real-time feedback of the current period.” to ““In early February 2010, members of a UC San Diego fraternity held an off-campus party mocking Black History Month.

Scott Mcavoy edited the blog post Poster-Sized 3D Map in the group
Digital Humanities: 3 days, 20 hours agoUsing Terrain2STL to create this huge 3d terrain map of the American West. We used a program called meshmixxer to cut the model up into 20 smaller tiles and print them all out seperately. The plan is to use this for data viz, mapping a projector to the terrain and projecting GIS animations over the white. I used a liquid resin for the ocean, one…[Read more]

Scott Mcavoy edited the blog post Casting Clear Warren Bears in the group
Digital Humanities: 3 days, 20 hours agoI cast these bears from a 3D print. Calit2’s Drone Lab was nice enough to give me the model. The reclining bear was a mistake, but he’s turned out to be my favorite. Cast in smooth-on 360. The first is before polishing, the 2nd is after (took me days). They’re still full of tiny bubbles, and will be until I buy a “degassing chamber”.

Scott Mcavoy edited the blog post 3D Fluid Animations in Blender in the group
Digital Humanities: 3 days, 21 hours agoWe’ve been playing with Blender’s fluid simulations this last week. The process is surprisingly straightforward, but can require a LOT of time to calculate if it’s too high resolution. We’ll be trying to run some ultra-high versions this summer. Hopefully we’ll be able to tool these simulations for research purposes.

Scott Mcavoy edited the blog post Coral Models – VR and 3D printing in the group
Digital Humanities: 3 days, 21 hours agoSIO’s Sandin Lab wanted to display some of their models physically. Using Agisoft they were able to stitch a bunch of images into a really cool looking model. We were able to view it in VR and 3D print it to help give them some idea of how they might share the data in an exhibit.
Check out the full model here.

Scott Mcavoy edited the blog post Electric Violin – 3D Printed in the group
Digital Humanities: 3 days, 21 hours agoIt took forever! One of our regulars Spence wanted to make an electric violin for his girlfriend, he found these plans on thingiverse. We’d hoped she could play it quietly with headphones on, but it’s pretty loud before it even gets to the pre-amp.
Come check it out in the lab! It’s ready to play.
