Adam Buier – Final Projects

For my Layers project I decided to make a Piranha plant from Mario. I laser cut wood and created taller and shorter layers to give the Piranha plant depth. I then painted and glued it all together. For my Lantern project I made a lantern from Minecraft. I 3d modeled and printed the base and…

Adam Buier – Lantern Project WIP

All of the pieces are 3d printed and laser cut. However, I didn’t account for the width of the acrylic panels so no I have to sand them down in order to fit. additionally the top part is a little difficult to take on and off, but I think a little sanding should fix that.

Adam Buier – Altered Toys Project Finished

Lego Russell is finally done!!!!!! The painting and assembling took so long because the bricks are printing in different colors of pla which caused the spray paint I used to have different hues for each brick. This meant that I had to put a base coat and a ton of coats of just normal paint….

Adam Buier – Altered Toys Project WIP

Currently all of the pieces for Lego Russell are printed, however I had to reprint most of the bricks because the top studs didn’t print. Additionally the tolerances are kinda bad which means either the fit of the bricks are too loose or too tight. I also have to finish painting the bricks, which they…

Adam Buier -Lantern Project Finished

This is my finished Minecraft inspired lantern. It’s made out of a 3d printed base which I painted black. Then there is frosted acrylic to diffuse the the fairy lights inside. when I made the CAD model I didn’t think the added layers of paint would make the top part so much harder to take…

Adam Buier – 3D Doodles Organic

This is the newest version of my 1lb combat Snow Plow. I made a couple iterations to the chassis to make it lighter and stronger and I thickened up the wheels to get more traction.

Adam Buier – Layers Project WIP

Currently I have all of the pieces cut out I just need to paint, stain and glue them together. I had a small issue that the smaller pieces would fall through the little grate in the laser cutter, but this meant that I had to cut more spare parts.

Adam Buier – Layers Project Finished

Here is my finished layers project. For a recap I laser cut a piranha plant from Mario and stacked the pieces on top of each other to give depth. I kept running into issues of when I would cut some pieces they would fall through the grate of the laser cutter. Additionally it was a…

Adam Buier – Altered Toys Design

For my altered toy project I want to 3d print a Lego Brickhead of Russell from the movie UP. Growing up I loved playing with Legos and UP is one of my all time favorite movies so I thought I would combine the two. My plan is to 3d print out the Lego pieces, paint…

Adam Buier – 3D Doodles Geometric

I know this looks really random, but this is a rough CAD for camlifter forks for my 3lb fighting robot. The end goal is to have a long titanium fork that get rotated by a servo which lifts the opposing robot off the ground, preventing them from moving.
