I believe that is exactly what someone did for Emerge 2010, I'm not sure I am correct but I seem to remember someone entering a prestigious show with a 3d printed piece. Hey if you are first then all the more power to you. I guess if that artist sold that piece (if I am correct) for at a large price...

Okay I can certainly see how a programmer has the potential to be a artist and the machine is their medium. That being said is the second, third, fourth ..... time the programmer hits the "print" button, is that object worth the same as the first one? At least with any kind of a production...

and that is exactly why I asked the question "is it a step in the right direction"

Very good food for thought

Thanks

Most people here will tell you that holds every 250 degrees is a waste of time. The point being is that there is not a right and wrong way to do this. If it works and holds up (ie annealed properly) then it's right. Find what works for you and go with it, anyone can give you there opinion, but what ...

Is it really "a step in the right direction" or the equivalent of a print of a painting? It really doesn't appeal to me to see something made more by a computer programmer rather than an artist / craftsman. It really takes the artist / "handmadeness" (yes I am creating my own wor...

(This is directed to the other commenters more than you Val) Personally, I don't see where they did anything wrong. The piece broke, they informed the artist that it broke and asked what to do next. I didn't read anywhere where they were asking for a free replacement or implying that that it may be ...

Here is the compressor I've been using http://www.homedepot.com/catalog/productImages/300/af/afb06786-4b8e-4ce9-8c8e-41e0287ffa42_300.jpg http://www.homedepot.com/buy/porter-cable-20-gallon-portable-electric-air-compressor-c5512.html#.UD4bx9aPXKc $549.00 at home depot I blast for an average of 2 hou...

It sounds like your original problem was that the check valve was leaking (broken) The check valve needs to be replaced if there is air coming out of the black tube for more than a second once the motor has stopped. Home depot will be of zero help replacing the check valve you'll need a compressor r...

I'd remove the black line as well as the new unloader valve and take them both to the plumbing dept. at your local home depot or similar store. It's a bit hard to tell but you may actually be able to use the existing white loader valve if you remove the new one the old one may fit.

Good luck

This is the saw I want next.

It's a bit hard to tell, but you could cut that hose and re attach it to the new unloader valve. You should be able to make it work with the right fittings. All of the lines I've seen have been flexible copper going from the "check valve" to the unloader valve. If your compressor can't sta...

The thing with the arrow is called the "unloader valve" what it does is release any pressure in the line from the actual compressor to the tank once the motor has shut off. If the line is pressurized when it's time to restart the pressure makes it very difficult to get the motor going agai...

I don't really see the need. I blast for a couple of hours a day 5 days a week and use a 115v compressor, it has been used constantly for 9 years without any real issues. I recently replaced the pressure switch on it. It works as good today as it did when I bought it. Sure I like the big powerful to...

these definitely weren't hand ground and polished. The polish is definitely achieved through heat not abrasives. How exactly I can't say but heated to around anneal temps, then torched would be my best guess. watch this video it'll explain how this can be achieved. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SF...

Here are the pics Les was talking about

in a 120 or 180 grit is best.

The point I was making is that these people paid Bert to make a stained glass window. They are now not allowed to photograph their own property and produce a postcard of something they own. To me that sounds crazy, where do you draw the line? Is the computer monitor I'm looking at have a copyright o...

what's the difference, between a stained glass installation, a painting or a building. If you make a glass installation and they can't sell postcards what's the difference? I'm not trying to be argumentative but don't a difference. Someone made or designed both and can claim to own a copyright. In m...

Where is the line drawn on who owns a copyright. If I take a photograph of a downtown skyline and sell prints, what's stopping the building owners, architects or the actual builders from coming after me?

google has a great image search option.
