Look what my printer made, all by himself!

I was testing the extruder on the first day of operation, with the nozzle a cm or two above the bed, and my printer decided to show its creative side. This is exactly how it came out of the nozzle and fell on the bed. These guys stand up on their own.

The idea of machines that can think is scary enough, but machines that can do art?

Maybe that's why it's so temperamental and takes a lot of encouragement to actually do anything useful..

You got the stl and source files for that? I want to remix it to add more support.

I'll make it customizable on Thingiverse. Just as soon as I can figure out what the heck it is.

Oh, that's cold.

It takes a connoisseur to recognize true art when he sees it.

Did you see "American Beauty"? The kid made movies of plastic bags twirling in the wind. He found it beautiful. That's art. So you might be surprised what you find in there! Maybe there's a reason you can't throw it away...

Then there's this.



"Almost 50 years ago the quintessential New York artist, Andy Warhol, had his first one-man show in Los Angeles, thanks to the prescience of a West Coast art dealer named Irving Blum. Blum also had the uncanny foresight to snap up “Campbell’s Soup Cans,” 32 small canvases for $1,000. He would eventually sell the group for $15 million... Most people refused to even accept that this was art."

So there.
