The listing, ***3D Printed Bracelet!! The Future Off Jewelry!!*** has ended.
For the First time ever I am auctioning off a 3D printed bracelet. This bracelet is not like a normal bracelet, it is the future of design and manufacturing. So explain what 3D printing is. Recently I purchased a Makerbot printer, what it does is feed 1.75 mm extruded plastic (I uploaded a picture of the two roles) it's a string of special plastic that the printer feeds into a hot tip, melting the plastic to almost a liquid state at 240degree Celsius (464degree Fahrenheit!!). This melted plastic then get put down in a specific order on the blue platform, i.e. bracelet. The printer prints at 3 grades fine, medium, and low. The bracelet I'm auctioning is printed under Fine. Another cool feature is the type of plastic that is used. Most plastics we handle in life are ABS plastics, such as a plastic bag or water bottle. They are derived from petroleum, so they use precious oil, and they are not biodegradable. My printer used PLA plastic derived from post consumer plastics and corn starches, meaning it is biodegradable, safer for human use, only down side is it is not as strong as ABS but it is lighter.
