The good thing was it got the basic shape of the Apple Logo correct:
The only problem is that this was supposed to be 7 centimeters tall. Pretty clearly we have some scaling issues to work out. Possibly the program outputted the wrong units. I’m a long way off from doing anything useful with this. I also think Blender‘s UI was designed by aliens. I did this with Google SketchUp, which unfortunately doesn’t output directly to STL format for printing.
Would have worked find if it was a Windows logo.
Wow, I take it you bought one.
Being married with children, I couldn’t spend the money on a 3D printer, but damn if it isn’t eating me up alive.
I didn’t buy one. It’s my friend’s.
Blender is truly ridiculous. The developers try to pull the whole, “it’s like UNIX; designed for efficiency!” argument, but I use UNIX all day at my job and let me tell you, Blender’s UI was clearly designed not for efficiency but to keep the program a nice safe clubhouse where you have to know the secret handshake to get in.
You might try the free CAD program from emachineshop.com. It’s extremely easy to learn, and although it’s intended to be used for customer designed work from their shop, they allow it’s use for other things.
Among other common CAD formats, it will export in STL (although that function is in beta right now). Can’t vouch for the quality of the export, but’s worth a shot.
Looks like it’s Windows only.
