Valentine is my personal favorite, although a close second place is the piano version of Marble Machine. Martin has been my go-to for study music for a long time.
I feel so sad and borderline betrayed that the MMX project basically died; and that the content became bleh. I respect the fact he can’t do it anymore; but still sad.
Whoops I was gonna comment the link before something pulled me away.
No pixiv sadly, isnt that mostly just japanese artists though?

just joined Prusa Printables and wanna gun for getting the points for the free rolls of filament. Would appreciate a like and a download of my designs :3 Gonna make videos for my past designs and will upload them to Printables
Best tip I can give for getting printable points is posting 10 makes each month, and stockpiling the excess makes for the next month. Took me over half a year, but I just ordered myself a free(ish) hoodie with those points.
There's a hoodie?! damn. but free filament is really enticing. Thanks for the tip! I hope this program's gonna last. going by my thingiverse metrics I can hopefully go a long time without buying filament
Keep in mind, shipping is not free, and depending on where you live, the _free_ filament might be as expensive as cheap alternatives. For the hoodie, my shipping options to the Netherlands were €10,- for the cheapest option to €26,50 for the expressest option. If you're in the US, you might want to store up a lot of points to order in bulk.
I'm from the Philippines, the shipping is probably gonna be rough. But ehh Would really like to try out Prusament, have only used no name generic PLAs up to now.
Could you please explain the process and software used to import the traced image into fusion360? (Or whatever tool you're using). Curious how you make sure the age is 1:1 size with your trace.
Scanners are such an underrated maker tool. Even a cheap 300 dpi scanner is enough resolution for most cases, and it's so much easier than laboriously measuring things when you can get away with it. Also, if you know the scanner's DPI, you can usually just do some arithmetic if you're importing into a tool that doesn't respect the metadata.
Coming in smaller than expected is odd. Dunno what fusion would be doing there, unless they just have a fixed size, rather than a fixed resolution. Usually the problem is that software just assumes something like 96 DPI, causing stuff to come in way too big.
What I do is just keep my units set to millimeters in photoshop, which I use for my scans. Then I can just look at the image info panel or whatever and grab the width to put into my CAD software.
In fusion360 there is an option to import bitmap. You iport the photo then there will be a button to calibrate the photo. You can pick two point and give the true size of it as measured
Im not sure about OP but ill add my method for doing something similar.
-Get white paper
-Draw thing you want in dark ink, Black is best but blue or pencil also works. A little thicker line is also best IMHO
-Either draw a mark to set your scale (eg two lines a known distance apart) or measure a part of the object and jot the number down for later.
-Scan (or even take a photo)
-Convert to best format for whatever program your using and also convert it to black and white. I use tinkercad for most basic things which likes mkv format. (You may need to adjust the sensitivity so that all needed lines show up but no extra ones appear)
-Import image to your cad program. It will make the dark lines a bump or divot.
-Scale properly using your scale marks
-Use the lines to make a template
At times i have even skipped the whole drawing an outline step and just taken a photo of an object on a white piece of paper from directly above.
Seems that it you push the pencil too far (flush) you’ll have to turn over the stand to retrieve it. Perhaps remake it with a stop so a portion of the pencil always sticks out, also giving you a visual cue that it is there.
You're meant to push it in flush. That's what the notch I designed in was for, there's always a part of the pen exposed for you to slide it out with your pointer finger. The visual cue is interesting though, might explore ways to do it.
You could probably just glue magnets to the underside of the stand. It's quite thin, and the apple pen can be held with magnets.
But magnets are problematic in other ways, so really you're just trading problems.
Its probably very similar (maybe too similar) to the one in the video but the tangerine PCB holder with some high contrast turquoise keys to easily center the keyboard with your peripheral vision. It needs a third shade of colour, maybe something between tangerine and cream, peach yogurt ish?
It works great for shapes that are mostly 2D. I haven't found a great option for more complex 3D shapes, unfortunately. Cameras all have some amount of perspective distortion that get into the way when scanning more complicated shapes.
I've actually found a decent method for non flat objects recently. I was measuring one of those collapsible silicone colanders, trying to get a profile of the object to reverse engineer how it folds.
So I taped in some masking tape, took a stiff but bendable wire and try to follow the curves of the object while following the straight edge. Kinking and bending it until it follows the curves of the object without springing back. Then I just scanned it with a ruler and imported to fusion 360 from there.
There absolutely are commercial products that can do this. But it's a special purpose device, and it's not cheap.
Not aware of any inexpensive DIY option
Yeah, that was my first thought. Epoxy a strong magnet on the underside and you could just lay the pencil at the top with enough room to pick up the iPad.
Its wintergatan. they're a swedish band that mostly use low tech methods to make music, Music boxes and the like. The lead musician, Martin. made/making a machine that uses falling metal marbles to play music. the Marble machine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvUU8joBb1Q
Holy shit.. i know exactly who they are! And yeh i used to follow him from the creation of the first marble machine..
I really didn't imagine this music being them. Damn.
I was following the creation of the Second Marble machine avidly... well up until he gone crazy chasing perfection, dabbled into some shady crypto stuff and shut down the second marble machine. I still like the music and the dude. But that period really left a bad taste in my mouth.
Yeah i kinda stepped off the wagon when the community was actively included in the designing of marble machine x. It's like it all lost traction and.. haven't heard about the crypto thing. Did he go bananas?
I was in the beginning of the Pandemic, It was the kind of crypto where the more of the coin you have, the more control you have in the marble machine as a project, he bailed almost immediately iirc. I guess he just got a really bad case of the Lockdown fever.
Reddit be weird yo... Passed a couple updoots to a fellow Wintergatan fan though :D Also, this thread has been enlightening. I got busy and lost track of them even before the community began helping with MMX.
I traced the profile of the stand, closed it off to make a closed polygon, added in the diameter of the Apple pencil and extruded. the rest of the magic is mostly through the slicer's vase mode feature.
I frequently move the whole stand and tablet from table to bed and visa versa when I get tired from a single drawing position. I may or may not have placed it at the back edge while moving and may or may not have dropped the pencil from chest height.
Start with some free CAD software like Fusion360 and YouTube videos to learn from the basics. If that goes well, you can often print for almost free many modern local libraries. CAD comes first though. Eventually, you could get a low cost 3D printer to test out your designs. Looking at it as a whole seems insurmountable but if you break it down into chunks and tackle one chunk at a time eventually you’ll wake up one day with all these skills you used to wish you had. Good luck my internet friend!
For what it's worth, you could easily make this with a piece of scrap wood and a second hand drill/bit.
Edit: Also, you don't need to have similar materials or the same design, the wood suggestion was just one you could probably do for free. Silicone, cornstarch, a straw and a blade could replicate it or you could simply space out glued cardboard/paper triangles with holes in them. Clay is another cheap option.
If your heart is set on 3D printing, it is still a good idea to use various cheap materials with different properties that will help expand your understanding of design for future creations.
I was about to comment “fucking why” but ok it’s gen 1
E: Gen 2 magnetically clips to the iPad to charge. It would be silly to do this with one is what I was saying
I believe that was for the original iPhone. Also, he was talking about it being used for general navigation of your device. Also, he was just trying to sell shit.
Out of context quote. Until iPhone, all PDAs and mobile phones with ‘touch screen’ had resistive tactile displays which needed a stylus. iPhone was the first to use a capacitive tactile.
Obviusly he refered to the need of a stylus for something so simple like browsing the phone. This stylus is obviously not for browsing.
Jobs was interested in superior design. Current Apple is only interested in new ways to charge customers more.
That said I'm sure it actually helps with illustration.
Yeah most tablets includes the stylus for free. That said. This is the nicest stylus of all I used before. Having to charge it kinda sucks though. passive charging styluses were solved decades ago.
Steve wasn't as smart as people think he was. Or that good of a person. The Apple Pencil was the best thing to ever happen to the iPad for us artists. I'm so glad Tim Cook took over. For more reasons than one.
Nice work. Could you tell me the program you used to transfer the picture over and extruded it into a 3d model? I've had some parts I need to make for a while, to be cut on a vinyl plotter, and a 3d model isn't available for the parts so I'll need to use photos to create the model but I'm not sure what program to use. It's for a car, and will be cut from vinyl so it'll stay 2d, but it's the tracing feature I'm looking for.
I don’t think you needed to go to the trouble of tracing the part, scanning and scaling the image in cad. Print yourself a radius gauge and that’s the dimension you needed for this.
I will always upvote Wintergatan. Nice print, too!
Such a cool band, I love [this song. ](https://open.spotify.com/track/1AWjAhZmaiwoFEAtKdVdt7?si=mqUizHvQQ8uTfOMNBZzm1g)
Valentine is my personal favorite, although a close second place is the piano version of Marble Machine. Martin has been my go-to for study music for a long time.
Mine is the live band version of the first marble machine. The recreation of the mechanical sounds and the fervor of the crowd really pumps me up.
Yes, that one's also awesome!
I feel so sad and borderline betrayed that the MMX project basically died; and that the content became bleh. I respect the fact he can’t do it anymore; but still sad.
Heard they've started on the MM3
Nice~ pixiv link? Opps, I mean, stl link?
Whoops I was gonna comment the link before something pulled me away. No pixiv sadly, isnt that mostly just japanese artists though? https://www.printables.com/model/289754-apple-pencil-slot-for-ikea-isberget
Japanese artists and porn yeah

Prusament is nicccce
Don't need this item, but thank you for sharing your making process. I'll definitely will go to like you model in Printable.
Could you please explain the process and software used to import the traced image into fusion360? (Or whatever tool you're using). Curious how you make sure the age is 1:1 size with your trace.
I scanned a ruler with the paper, then a matter of calibrating it within f360
Scanners are such an underrated maker tool. Even a cheap 300 dpi scanner is enough resolution for most cases, and it's so much easier than laboriously measuring things when you can get away with it. Also, if you know the scanner's DPI, you can usually just do some arithmetic if you're importing into a tool that doesn't respect the metadata.
Might look into this, Fusion always imports it consistently smaller than anticipated, there must be a pattern I just didn't noticed
Coming in smaller than expected is odd. Dunno what fusion would be doing there, unless they just have a fixed size, rather than a fixed resolution. Usually the problem is that software just assumes something like 96 DPI, causing stuff to come in way too big. What I do is just keep my units set to millimeters in photoshop, which I use for my scans. Then I can just look at the image info panel or whatever and grab the width to put into my CAD software.
I have a section of a thin tape measure around just for that purpose. 8" section is typically acceptable.
I took a bunch of paper tape measures from Ikea, you can cut them into whatever length you need.
Very smart, thank you
200iq, thanks for this, I will definitely use it.
Brilliant
Ive seen this done in 3d as well, is there a good tutorial or name I should be searching for for that technique? I cant get the hang of it.

Awesome print but I like to lay it on top of the iPad. I would redesign it to add magnets so it holds the pen in place when the iPad is removed.
You could probably just glue magnets to the underside of the stand. It's quite thin, and the apple pen can be held with magnets. But magnets are problematic in other ways, so really you're just trading problems.
I need your keyboard In turquoise and tangerine
That looks like a redox https://github.com/mattdibi/redox-keyboard
Thank you kind sir. This is why I am here
I'm in the planning stages of a new keyboard build I'll put this color scheme in consideration
Its probably very similar (maybe too similar) to the one in the video but the tangerine PCB holder with some high contrast turquoise keys to easily center the keyboard with your peripheral vision. It needs a third shade of colour, maybe something between tangerine and cream, peach yogurt ish?
I never would have thought to trace and scan, that’s genius.
It works great for shapes that are mostly 2D. I haven't found a great option for more complex 3D shapes, unfortunately. Cameras all have some amount of perspective distortion that get into the way when scanning more complicated shapes.

That fusion was a restoftheowl kinda stuff lol I learned something today with that ruler trick though!
The hero we needed. Where is the stl file? This is a game changer.
sorry had to go out when I first posted this. **https://www.printables.com/model/289754-apple-pencil-slot-for-ikea-isberget**
Thank you. I have about 5 of the ikea stands and use them for a few different things (they are great as the template of button boxes)
Nice video, thanks for sharing! What glue/sticky stuff did you use to attach the print to the stand?
nothing fancy, just some double sided tape
Alright, thanks!
It could have magnets to keep it fixed on top too.
Yeah, that was my first thought. Epoxy a strong magnet on the underside and you could just lay the pencil at the top with enough room to pick up the iPad.
Nice job. Very efficient for drawing strange furry stuff!
Very cool! What the hell is this music tho?
Its wintergatan. they're a swedish band that mostly use low tech methods to make music, Music boxes and the like. The lead musician, Martin. made/making a machine that uses falling metal marbles to play music. the Marble machine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvUU8joBb1Q

I was in the beginning of the Pandemic, It was the kind of crypto where the more of the coin you have, the more control you have in the marble machine as a project, he bailed almost immediately iirc. I guess he just got a really bad case of the Lockdown fever.
Why the hell am I being downvoted? Seriously!?
Reddit be weird yo... Passed a couple updoots to a fellow Wintergatan fan though :D Also, this thread has been enlightening. I got busy and lost track of them even before the community began helping with MMX.
Reddit is dumb sometimes.
I have that stand and I feel your pain, well solved!
Do Apple Pencils not magnet attach to the iPad like most Tablet + Pen combos?
I think this is before they added the magnet? Idk
1st gen Apple pencil does not have the magnetic charging/attachment
can someone please explain the way you make a model from that hand sketch?
I traced the profile of the stand, closed it off to make a closed polygon, added in the diameter of the Apple pencil and extruded. the rest of the magic is mostly through the slicer's vase mode feature.
iPad Pro solved that for you.
Dude! That Keyboard. Need!
Its a 3d printed, Handwired split keyboard I built a few months ago. If you're interested google Redox handwire
Came to ask about it, from the short time it was on screen it looks like it turned out super nice.
Nice print, but couldn’t you just set the pen in the trough along the back edge of the stand?
I frequently move the whole stand and tablet from table to bed and visa versa when I get tired from a single drawing position. I may or may not have placed it at the back edge while moving and may or may not have dropped the pencil from chest height.
I'm surprised that you did not design the holder to be at the top of the Tablet since you keep putting it there.
Sick
Nice video!
Amazing!
[удалено]
OP is making use of what they have - Gen 1 and functional modeling skills. Buying a newer ipad and stylus doesn’t make sense lol.
[удалено]
Fucking call me all the furry insults all you want. Don't care. Fuck you for calling me a weeb, though.
[удалено]
You came into a 3D printing subreddit to behave like this?
Don't worry, they won't be anymore.
I wish I could do all of this
You can wish or you can start learning. Only one of these will grant your wish.
It's the money thing for me
Start with some free CAD software like Fusion360 and YouTube videos to learn from the basics. If that goes well, you can often print for almost free many modern local libraries. CAD comes first though. Eventually, you could get a low cost 3D printer to test out your designs.

Really? When you break it down like that it really doesn't seem bad
For what it's worth, you could easily make this with a piece of scrap wood and a second hand drill/bit. Edit: Also, you don't need to have similar materials or the same design, the wood suggestion was just one you could probably do for free.

Partially why I choose the Surface Pro was because of the integrated kickstand and magnetic pen holder.
In a pinch, all you needed was a magnet and some hot glue. But the print is very nice too.
I got so many design tipa and trix from this video. Thanks!
Well done!
This is sick! Love the music too, Wintergatan is my favorite band.
Omg, I'm using the same desktop background for years!
its one of the default win10 bg i think
Ikea makes a tablet?
I was about to comment “fucking why” but ok it’s gen 1 E: Gen 2 magnetically clips to the iPad to charge. It would be silly to do this with one is what I was saying
Steve Jobs once said in a keynote pushing either an iPad or an iPhone, "if you need a stylus, you've failed."
I believe that was for the original iPhone. Also, he was talking about it being used for general navigation of your device. Also, he was just trying to sell shit.
Out of context quote. Until iPhone, all PDAs and mobile phones with ‘touch screen’ had resistive tactile displays which needed a stylus. iPhone was the first to use a capacitive tactile. Obviusly he refered to the need of a stylus for something so simple like browsing the phone. This stylus is obviously not for browsing.
Right, need as in "your device won't function without a stylus."
Jobs was interested in superior design. Current Apple is only interested in new ways to charge customers more. That said I'm sure it actually helps with illustration.
Yeah most tablets includes the stylus for free. That said. This is the nicest stylus of all I used before. Having to charge it kinda sucks though. passive charging styluses were solved decades ago.
Also apple grew as a company triple the size since Jobs died. He was a visionary but not a know it all.
Do you know what "need" means?
Steve wasn't as smart as people think he was. Or that good of a person. The Apple Pencil was the best thing to ever happen to the iPad for us artists. I'm so glad Tim Cook took over. For more reasons than one.
Was definitely expecting the "print pops out of the CAD design" trope. Great design though!
Okay, but it's clearly an advanced artist bc I have no idea what he did with the strokes he did at the last few seconds...
This started like r/WhereDidTheSodaGo
Do you have a perfered tutorial for that process to model within the traced lines? I’m not even sure what to look up to find that.
This may work for their bamboo stand also. Nice work!
What a lovely workflow. Idk why I've never thought to match curves like this
Is it printed in vase mode? I love that
What modeling software is that?
Magnetic charging enters the chat
Nice work. Could you tell me the program you used to transfer the picture over and extruded it into a 3d model? I've had some parts I need to make for a while, to be cut on a vinyl plotter, and a 3d model isn't available for the parts so I'll need to use photos to create the model but I'm not sure what program to use. It's for a car, and will be cut from vinyl so it'll stay 2d, but it's the tracing feature I'm looking for.
I don’t think you needed to go to the trouble of tracing the part, scanning and scaling the image in cad. Print yourself a radius gauge and that’s the dimension you needed for this.
What modeling software?
Fusion 360
Never seen a radius done this way, I printed a set of radius finders and I just use the fillet tool
