3D printing & embroidery combined to create sustainable garments #WearableWednesday

Ganit Goldstein is working on innovative concepts with 3D print custom pieces. Via DesignBoom:

goldstein’s project focuses on the process of creating 3D printed garments based on measurements from a 360-degree body scanner, enabling her to create bespoke items perfectly fitting the person’s form. the result is a cutting edge concept of personalized garment production, in an effort to move away from the mass production of ‘fast’ fashion’ technology. drawing influence from traditional japanese techniques and ikat weaving, the ‘WeAreAble’ collection showcases a unique combination of handcrafted methods and 3D printing, of past and future technologies.

COVID-19 Social Distance Meter #WearableWednesday

A vaccine is right around the corner but we still need to be vigilante untill one has been widely distributed. Clear simple wearable to keep your personal space from barney.nicholls on Instructables:

Hi, this is a project that I put together with the idea of creating a wearable battery-powered device that would easily show another person whether they were entering inside the current recommended social distance of 2 meters.

This is an Arduino based project that uses an ultrasonic distance sensor and then turns on either a green led if there is nothing sensed within 2 meters or a red led if something is detected within that range. This is a just for fun project and although the distance sensor is fairly accurate I’m afraid that soft people don’t necessarily give as good a return signal as preferred when bouncing sound waves off them

Wool-like material can remember and change shape #WearableWednesday #3DPrinting

The applications for this product are endless. Via Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences on YouTube

SEAS researchers have developed a biocompatible material that can be 3D printed into any shape and pre-programmed with reversible shape memory. The material is made using keratin, a fibrous protein found in hair, nails and shells, extracted from leftover Agora wool used in textile manufacturing. It could be used in anything from self-fitting bras to actuating textiles for medical therapeutics and could help reduce waste in the fashion industry.

Forest (H)eart(H) – Utopia BLU – Wearables that can Communicate with Nature #WearableWednesday

Super cool 3d-printed, led infused wearables from Utopia BLU on Vimeo:

Forest (H)eart(H) is a wearable technology project designed to provide the wearer with the superhuman power to raise awareness of climate change. The piece combines bleeding-edge technology, 3D printing and a distinctive aesthetic to provide a counterpoint to the silence over climate change.

SoftGlove #WearableWednesday #3DPrinting #SoftRobotic

F6SJ8GDK4USNEKQ LARGE

Air pumps help move the fingers of this glove using the Adafruit app. Shared by france.bonde on Instructables:

As the actuators inflate, the rectangles they have on their top push against each other, bending the associated fingers.

The motor that controls the inflation is a device called “FlowIO”. This device is able to inflate, to deflate and to create a vacuum. At this moment the device is using an Adafruit platform controlled by an app on my phone, but my aim is to associate it with another glove with flex-sensors on its fingers, so that the softglove’s movements would mirror the other’s ones.

Making a Ring With Magic Opaque Acrylic #WearableWednesday #3DPrinting @Chardane #CircuitPython

Shared on Charlyn Gonda’s Blog:

I made a ring! It’s using this special material that looks opaque but it actually lets light shine through beautifully. This was a pretty simple project, and you can do it too!

This Sparkle Ring project uses an Adafruit Gemma M0 with CircuitPython to control a Neopixel Jewel inside a laser cut ring enclosure I designed. It requires some soldering, so it’s great to practice if you’re just starting to learn.

Sophy Wong – Made With Machines: 3D Printing & Laser Cutting for Wearable #WearableWednesday #3DPrinting #Design #Fashion @Hackaday

Maker extraordinaire, Sophy Wong, presented at Hackaday’s Supercon in November.

Via Hackaday:

During her talk “Made With Machines: 3D Printing & Laser Cutting for Wearable Electronics” at the 2019 Hackaday Superconference in Pasadena, Sophy walked attendees through the design process that she’s honed over years of working on wearable creations. Her designs start in the physical world, occasionally taking the form of sketches drawn directly onto the surface of whatever she’s working on, before being digitized and reproduced

Sneakers with 3D-Printed Soles #WearableWednesday

Via Wired:

Two years ago, running shoe giant New Balance teamed up with Somerville, Massachusetts–based 3D-printing company Formlabs to develop a new type of sole. Now the duo are debuting TripleCell, a footbed technology whose components are made of a proprietary photopolymer called Rebound Resin.

For its first shoe in this lineup, New Balance is re-releasing its classic 990 Sport with a TripleCell heel. The $185 runner is lighter, more supportive, and more durable than the EVA version. Two more performance-oriented models with TripleCell components will be arriving within the next year.

Wearable Infinity Gauntlet #WearableWednesday

Another cool Infinity Guantlet for all your cosplay needs. This one is shared by MonsterMovieProps on Thingiverse:

Wearable Infinity Gauntlet from Avengers Infinity war.
Modelled in Fusion 360.
I designed the palm so you can make a fist, have better grip, and yes, click your fingers!

Hope you all enjoy! can’t wait to see what everyone can do with the files, I’m very happy with how mine turned out, and it got a lot of attention at mcm comic con!

If you like my files, drop me a like on my facebook page, plenty more files and builds on their way!

The thumb is still basic, I slightly adjusted Happymoon’s thumb, though I am planning on making a better thumb in the future.

The fingers are ready to print on their sides, as it makes for much stronger hinges, though will need more finishing work. if you want them standing up, let me know and I can’t supply them.

Dragon Hands #WearableWednesday #cosplay

Very clever 3D printed fabric dragon hand gloves. Shared by Core3D on Instructables:

My daughter is already planning for Halloween this year and mentioned going as a dragon. As a 3D Printing dad, I couldn’t just stand by.

In this instructable I’ll show how you can 3D print items integrated with a mesh material (no glue required) allowing you to create all sorts of interesting things that can be integrated as costume (think Halloween or Cos Play)

Credit where credit is due, I did not invent this technique. I’m just using it. The first time I saw this was at MRRF 2018 (Midwest Rep Rap Festival) where it was applied (and possibly invented) by David Shorey at Shorey Designs.

The principal is fairly simple: You print one or 2 layer as usual, you then pause the print, apply some sort of mesh and continue printing. The next layers will bond with the layers below the mesh creating a strong integrated print and fabric “thingy”.

For this instructable I use Slic3r for creating the g-code. Programs like Simplify 3D have more sophisticated ways of manipulating g-code but what I show here should apply to any g-code (regardless of slicer).

For this instructable, It is assume that you know how to use slicers and how to 3D print.
