CONSUMER 3D PRINTING: WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? A 3D PRINTING ADVENTURE

摘要

Let me start with the problem; my father and I decided to turn the disused outhouse/garage into a cinema room in preparation for a Halloween premiere. Without the money to throw at expensive solutions we decided to do it ourselves, as cheaply as humanly possible. In order to turn this 10 m long x 3 m wide utility room into a screen Oscar Deutsch would be proud of we started by buying a projector and screen on the cheap from China as well as upcycling (hipster alert!) items we had lying around the house; a six-foot shelving unit to house the projector and Blu-Ray player an old modem as a repeater with a never used Chromecast to make the projector smart; some second hand posters complete with pound shop LED lighting. But along with the visuals a real cinema needs the audio to swirl around the room and slap you smack bang in the middle of Jurassic Park. To achieve this we needed a helping hand from a little plastic extruding friend.
