Making Practical Uses From 3D Prints
I'm sure most- if not all- of us have seen the bottoms of chairs and stools which are specifically created to give stability to the chair and to protect the ground from being damaged when the chair is moved. Well, two chairs in my house have an incomplete set of those. This causes the chairs to constantly shift their weight across their legs, and it also causes the chairs to dig into soft surfaces such as dirt and grass. Things as specific as these are not necessarily widely available at stores, and tennis balls wouldn't look too pleasant, so the chairs were left the way they were. As a digital modeling student, however, I came across this idea: why not 3D print it? My father and I discussed the idea for a few minutes and headed straight to work. He collected the diameter of the chair's foot as well as the height of one of the remaining pieces of plastic. With this information I began to model the idea, and this only took a few minutes to achieve. By using an extruded c
