Even if you’ve never touched a 3D printer, these projects will excite and empower you to learn new skills, extend your current abilities, and awaken your creative impulses. Each project uses a unique combination of electronics, hand assembly techniques, custom 3D-printed parts, and software, while teaching you how to think through and execute your own ideas.
Written by the founder of Printrbot, his staff, and veteran DIY authors, this book of projects exemplifies the broad range of highly personalized, limit-pushing project possibilities of 3D printing when combined with affordable electronic components and materials.
In Make: 3D Printing Projects, you’ll: Print and assemble a modular lamp that’s suitable for beginners–and quickly gets you incorporating electronics into 3D-printed structures. Learn about RC vehicles by fabricating–and driving–your own sleek, shiny, and fast Inverted Trike. Model a 1950s-style Raygun Pen through a step-by-step primer on how to augment an existing object through rapid prototyping. Fabricate a fully functional, battery-powered screwdriver, while learning how to tear down and reconstruct your own tools. Get hands-on with animatronics by building your own set of life-like mechanical eyes. Make a Raspberry Pi robot that rides a monorail of string, can turn corners, runs its own web server, streams video, and is remote-controlled from your phone. Build and customize a bubble-blowing robot, flower watering contraption, and a DIY camera gimbal.

Great gift
My 20 something grandson received this book as a gift after his roommate purchased a 3D printer. Since he’s interested in robotics this helped spark their creativity with the printer.

Realistic and achievable 3D Printing Projects! Simply lovable!
I bought this book by chance at B&N when I was casually browsing at the bookstore.I simply looked at the list of projects and bought it just on that basis.When I got home, I was shocked and pleased at the same time to find that this book was written for the Simple Metal 3D printer.And co-incidentally, I own a Printrbot Simple Metal 3D printer.I have earnestly began working on the projects and my 12 year old seems to be very interested in the most basic of the projects – the 3D printed Desk lamp. And I’ve become interested in the Raygun Pen Stand. We’re currently very occupied in printing out the parts for these projects.Regardless of the type of 3D printer you own, this is a great way to get started with 3D printing. The projects range from real simple to super complex, and I think that this gets an absolute novice the motivation needed to get on with 3D printing.

Useless
Purchased this thinking I would get at the very least one good project to build on my new Dremel 3D45 printer, despite the negative reviews. Unfortunately all of the negative reviews were correct and I should have listened….. aaarrgghh

Buyer Beware
The software for this book can no longer be used. It is outdated so the book should no longer be available! No reason to buy this book. Get the updated version.

It is absolutely useless it doesn’t have any patterns in it so it is a total waste of money wish I could get my money back but there’s to much messing around to bother so lessons learned all this book is good for is paper to start a fire
