Digital Playspace-3D Printing through Digital Dollhouse...HUH?
I stumbled across this recently. Three dimensional printing is still very expensive. Yet, I wonder if this will really take off and be the way we decorate our mini houses in the future? Something like this could make artisans and specialty crafters either obsolete or drive up the costs of handmade articles.

Wow, that is very nice! It would be really cool if furniture was that easy to make. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi there Georgia Girl!
DeleteEverytime I look at it I have so many questions. LOL I wonder if it is stinky to make? Will the furniture look cheesy? How many things can you make at one sitting?
If it was cheap I am sure many people would like to have it and print their own furniture ot dollhouses. Still I think there will always be people who would want to have hand made items instead of prints. ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Old Maid!
DeleteI think I would agree with you. Right now there are mass produced dollhouse things I.e. Remet. But people seem to prefer the handmade items.
I am with Ewa! I don't like plastic furniture from a 3D printer. However there will be lots of people who would buy these miniatures, if it was cheap.
ReplyDeleteSo I prefer handmade miniatures, or made of wood :D!
Hugs, Ilona
Hi Ilona!
DeleteYou know, now that I think of it. The market for this might be children. I think adults can appreciate the fine skills that go into making things.
Diffucult to know if it comes in our time, but it is certainly the future. Something will be lost and new access. It is a world of speed we live in. It can be difficult to keep up.
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing.

Hi Wyrna!
DeleteI have not even taken to kindles and other paperless books yet. It may not be the best for the environment. but I still rather turn pages.
Maybe not as they are now (very 'plastic', one color, and there still is a very peculiar 'texture' to the items printed by the available 3D printers)
ReplyDeleteBut I would LOVE to have one to print my own tools, jigs, and helpers like that.
I still like the feel and look of wood in miniature furniture.
Those modern-look plastic furniture pieces (modern chairs, etc) would be great if 3D printed, I guess.
All we need now is that they make the printers - and the plastic they use! - more affordable... :)
Hi Evelyne!
DeleteI had not thought of a machine to make tools. Now that is smart! You can make your tools the precise size etc. you want them.
Even if I had this, I know that I would still hand make some of my own pieces. I have a Cricut Expression and a I rarely use it. I still break out the old exact blade and cut junk myself - even though it would be more precise with the Cricut. I think crafters feel the need to work with their hands and not just push a button.
ReplyDeleteHey Muff!
DeleteYup, I agree. Two posts ago I wrote about the peace that comes from crafting. I doubt there would be the same benefit to using these machines.
Hello from Spain: three-dimensional printer that would be perfect to create our furniture. Keep in touch
ReplyDeleteHi Marta!
DeleteI think furniture made this way may fit best on a 1:6 scale.
All of my designs for miniature furniture and accessories are 3D printed. http://modernminis.com/
ReplyDeleteI had a hard time working with wood and other materials and found 3D printing to be the solution. I think there is so much potential for what you can create with this style of plastics/printing. I don't think a plastic Victorian chair works, but for the modern stuff I do think it works perfectly. If the price comes down, I can see this being an amazing tool for the future of miniatures, but I think traditional handcrafted furniture will always have its place too. Some things just don't look good in plastic.
Hey there Mini Dork!
DeleteYou are the first and only person to tell me they use this method. I am glad to have someone who has a first hand experience. Your shelving and desk sets are adorable!Is it as simple as it appears in the video?
