NOTE: The site is long overdue for an update but you can still find most of my stuff here.<br />
<br />
I am a 3D Designer and Fabricator with a specialty in designing assemblies. For 12 years, I was the Head Repair Technician for NYU Film & TV - responsible for the repair, maintenance and processing of all production equipment. Recently I relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area where I am the 3D Printing & Fabrication Specialist on <a href="http://www.tested.com/" target="_blank">Tested.com</a>. I use my hands-on knowledge and sensibility, to design working 3D printed assemblies combined with actual hardware where appropriate. <br />
<br /></div>
This was originally an archive of my 3D modeling and printing thesis (see Octopod below) for a Masters of Science in Digital Imaging and Design at NYU. It has since grown into much more, documenting my 3D printing as well as 'analog' projects which cover anything from camera repair to building Star Wars blasters. I felt it was appropriate to combine the two since I constantly bring the digital world of 3D modeling and printing together with real-world hardware and construction.<br />

<a name='more'></a><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">FAQ</span></b><br />
<span style="color: orange;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="color: orange;">Q: What did you go to school for?</span></b><br />
<span style="color: orange;"><b>A:</b> </span> I went to New York University's Center for Advanced Digital Applications in the School of Continuing and Professional Studies for a Masters of Science in Digital Imaging and Design. Whew. <br />
I originally intended to be an animator, but started modeling more and then found 3D printing and that was that.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Q: Are the Octopod & Jet Car for sale? </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">A:</span> </b> There is a lot of interest in the Octopod, but at this time it's not for sale for a variety of reasons. Mainly, it's very expensive to print and would drive the price up quite high. In addition, I have learned a lot since first designing the Octopod and it needs a many updates to be ready to sell. The printing material has a tendency to sag over time and my original Octopod has a lot of fit problems now, parts need redesigned to fix this and bring print costs down. Basically, the Octopod needs rebuilt from scratch - it's going to happen but will take awhile.<br />
<br />
The Jet Car is usually <a href="https://charlesworthdynamics.etsy.com/" target="_blank">available in my shop</a>. I have a 10" version printed in nylon and I'm working on smaller versions as well.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Q: How about the Iris Box, can I buy one of those?</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">A:</span></b> No - I stopped selling those as they're too labor intensive - BUT you can <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/countspatula/about" target="_blank">download and print your own.</a><br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;"><b>Q: Can I have your files so I can print my own?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: orange;"><b>A: </b></span> At this time, other than what I have up on Thingiverse, I don't plan on releasing the files for anything. These models have taken many hours to design and I'm not quite ready to let them go. Thanks for asking.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Q: What do you model your stuff in?</span></b><br />
<span style="color: orange;"><b>A:</b> </span> I use Cinema 4D, a professional production suite. It has great modeling tools and recently added the ability to model in scale. I am not an organic modeler, but I do use ZBrush for some stuff, particularly decimating the model (reducing polygon count), I then use Netfabb for STL clean-up.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Q: What do you print on?</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">A: </span></b> At home I have the Ultimaker 2+ and 3 Extended. I also have a MakerBot 2X, Lulzbot TAZ 6 and the Formlabs Form 2. They're all good for different things but my goto is usually the Ultimaker. For the Octopod I used the Objet Connex500 which uses photopolymer jetting (deposits resin on print bed, hardens with UV light) and can print 2 types of material at the same time. I have also used the 3D Systems ProJet 7000 a good bit. I have used <a href="http://www.shapeways.com/" target="_blank">Shapeways</a> with nice results using their <a href="http://www.shapeways.com/materials/strong-flexible" target="_blank">Strong and Flexible nylon material</a>. </div>

At the end of 2013 I entered Adam Savage's Inventern competition on <a href="http://www.tested.com/" target="_blank">Tested.com</a> and, to my surprise, I won. The grand prize was to work on a week-long project with Adam - it turned out to be a bigger project than I could image, lasting 3 months.<br />

I've been negligent about documenting the whole thing, mainly because the project itself has kept me busy and after the Inventern competition, Tested asked me to <a href="http://opus5.complex88.com/2014/09/tested-articles.html" target="_blank">write a bi-weekly 3D printing column</a>, which I have been doing since the beginning of 2014.<br />

For those unfamiliar, Adam Savage is the co-host, along with Jamie Hyneman of MythBusters and in 2012 Jamie and Adam joined Tested.com along with Will Smith and Norman Chan. Those who have watched MythBusters have probably gathered that Adam really likes movies and has a background in special effects and outside the show he collects and builds replica movie props and costumes. Adam's personal shop is a shrine to everything I love from Star Wars to Alien, he has a little of everything which he has collected or built himself. Adam goes to Comic Con every year, <a href="http://www.tested.com/search/?term=INCOGNITO" target="_blank">dresses up and goes out on the floor</a>. Nazgul, Admiral Ackbar, Jack Sparrow, Chewbacca - just to name a few.<br />

The Inventern was a competition to be his assistant on a project and we all assumed it would be some kind of prop replica - it was. For the last five years or so, Adam has been working on a replica of Rasputin's Mecha-Hand from the Hellboy movie. It's pretty intense with a lot of custom parts, leatherwork, quilting, sculpting and a lot of mechanics. Adam asked me to use my 3D modeling and printing skills to make the Millenbaugh Motivator, a small mechanical piece with working valves.<br />

So, without further ado, here's my Inventern journey. First, are the videos that walkthrough the development of the Hellboy Mecha Glove, then the write-ups I did for Tested, documenting the Motivator build. Finally, all the videos of the Inventern competition.<br />

Not bad for the guy who had an undergrad GPA which shall remain nameless. I have collected the key entries here, but check out the rest of the blog for more on the process.<br />
<br />
For those new to my project, the goal was to design, model and then 3D
print a mechanical octopus vehicle, complete with working features and
LED lighting. The video is an introduction to the piece, followed by
lots of pictures and construction details. Don't hesitate to <a href="mailto:sean@complex88.com" target="_blank">contact me</a>

I reprinted some Octopod parts for Maker Faire way back in September and forgot about posting pix.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The cockpit lid had a few problems. Due to the nature of the material I printed with, it wasn't holding it's shape properly and the curvature of the top was acting like a spring which caused it to fit poorly. </div>

I added a beam on the underside which helped to keeps the shape. I also beefed up the ladder rungs so they wouldn't snap off like the first print. On the first lid I printed the hatch wheels too small and they broke. I ended up reprinting beefier ones that I drilled a hole for. This worked so well that I did the same thing for this version. The bonus to this method is the wheel actually turns when installed.<br />
<br />
<br />
I also added magnet mounts on the underside to keep the lid in place better.<br />

Another problem area on the original print were the propellers. They were supposed to rotate, but I messed up the tolerances and they fused in place. They also got in the way when trying to clean support material out of the engines and I snapped some blades off.<br />
<br />
For the reprints I increased the tolerances and added a hole in the front so support material could be cleaned out. The original props were snapped off, the stumps cleaned up and the replacements glued in place. <br />

And I finally figured out how to rebuild the control panels and dedication plaque so the white and black had proper separation. It's hard to believe but these tiny little parts turned out to be some of the hardest to build for printing.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is a good example of how some 3D printing materials are not meant for real production. I used an acrylic-like material for the Octopod and over the last few months it has started to droop in places. The front face of the cockpit has sagged and there are now gaps all around the cockpit and at the bottom of the housing. I gave him a bit of a facelift with some rubberbands but it's not perfect. A redesign would help but the material is not necessarily suitable for long-term use. </td></tr>

When we lived in NYC, my wife worked at Etsy and they always had an amazing Halloween party. They have an awards ceremony in which one of the prizes is the most 'Etsy' costume. They are moving into a new building soon, so we made a New Etsy Building costume - she ended up winning Best in Show.<br />

I tried printing a bunch of TARDI(?) from Thingiverse with problems since most of them were one piece and would tend to crack as the print got higher. I also wanted to put a lot more detail in and make it screen accurate. I got a hold of BBC blueprints and built from that.<br />

Yeah! It looks awesome, right? Came out of the MakerBot and did a little clean up, and there you go. Nah, it's the actual movie prop. This is an on-going project in it's early stages. My goal was to have a really small, bright, self-contained light puck that could be recharged via USB that would be part of the existing prop cable.<br />

Rough assembly done in Cinema 4D.<br />
Would like to print the ring and make casts of transparent green resin. Never done it before so it will be a learning experience.<br />
<br />
Plan to print the whole thing and try Rub n Buff for the metal parts.<br />

First attempt at light ring. Tedious solder job but worked pretty good. Printed out the jig and case on the MakerBot.<br />

Amazingly managed to cram it all in. Used a bunch of good stuff from my favorite place ever, <a href="http://www.adafruit.com/" target="_blank">Adafruit Industries</a>.<br />

Second version using surface mount LEDs which were a PAIN to solder, but they are even brighter and have a better spread. Not sure which I will use in the end.<br />

I did a major overhaul on the iris box and printed 100+ for <a href="http://opus5.complex88.com/2013/08/maker-faire-nyc-2013.html" target="_blank">Maker Faire NYC 2013</a>.<br />

The original iris box was derived from the <a href="http://opus5.complex88.com/2012/05/its-wrap.html" target="_blank">Octopod</a> moon pool but had various features I wasn't happy with. The walls printed very thick so the screws could be inserted from the bottom, the gear ring had bevels that made it tricky to print and the leaves were much thicker than they needed to be.<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pTue_86oDSY/UuBdRSMQ3wI/AAAAAAAAX50/IwuPe_UKp5I/s1600/P1020565.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pTue_86oDSY/UuBdRSMQ3wI/AAAAAAAAX50/IwuPe_UKp5I/s1600/P1020565.JPG" height="132" width="200" /></a><br />
<br />
I set out to streamline the whole thing, make it easier to print and use less material.<br />

<br />
I stuck with real screws since I have found printed pins snapped too easily. By making the slot ring a separate piece, I was able to make the base walls much thinner. Once the mechanism is assembled it's glued to the base.<br />

I still can't quite believe this happened, but the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Buckaroo_Banzai_Across_the_8th_Dimension" target="_blank">Buckaroo Banzai Jet Car</a> is currently on display in Vienna, Austria during Vienna Design Week.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was contacted by a London gallery, <a href="http://www.so-far-the-future.co.uk/" target="_blank">So Far, the Future</a> which was interested in displaying the Jet Car in their sister gallery, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/SoWeitDieZukunft" target="_blank">So Weit, die Zukunft</a> which they opened during <a href="http://www.facebook.com/VIENNADESIGNWEEK" target="_blank">Vienna Design Week</a>.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I had been meaning to do an updated version of the Jet Car which was more detailed and movie-accurate and with less than a month to go, I scrambled to get it done and printed in time. It just made it and here it is.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This version was printed on the Objet in the same material as the Octopod.</div>
<div>

I am a hard surface 3D modeler and printer with a specialty in designing assemblies. For the last 10 years, I have also been the Head Repair Technician for NYU Film & TV - responsible for the repair, maintenance and processing of all existing and new production equipment. I use this hands-on knowledge and sensibility, to design working 3D printed assemblies, combined with actual hardware where appropriate.<br />

It's a never ending task to keep it efficient, organized and stocked and I love it. I'm lucky to have access to a great shop in the middle of NYC and would be a sad, sad man if I didn't. As the one and only Repair Tech at NYU Film & TV I am responsible for keeping over 50 film cameras, 300 digital cameras, audio gear and a ton of light and grip equipment up and running.<br />

Up until Summer 2012 the ARRI S was the workhorse of the introductory film class but NYU finally made the transition to digital and while they still shoot a lot of film, the amount of digital projects continues to grow and the ARRI S has been retired.<br />
<br />
I may have moved on from NYU but I inherited a massive amount of new and used ARRI S parts and still do camera repair when I have time. <a href="mailto:sean@charlesworth-dynamics.com" target="_blank">Contact me</a> if you are looking for any parts or need some work done.<br />

During the ARRI S heyday it was vitally important that we had the capability to repair them in-house. It was not feasible economically and time-wise to send every camera out for repair. When I became the Repair Tech, there was a lot of knowledge that had not been documented and therefore lost or incomplete. What information there was got passed down by word of mouth and I felt that there was a lot missing. The cameras were breaking down more frequently, repair parts were almost impossible to get and NYU was seriously considering finding an alternate camera. I spent the next three years amassing information, speaking with old ARRI repair techs, buying tools, and even tracking down a nearly impossible to find service manual on eBay. By then I could completely tear down and rebuild an S and even developed some custom replacement parts. The pinnacle of my obsession came with the tracking down and purchase of a long out of print multilingual cinema dictionary which allowed me to translate some of the old German repair documents.<br />
<br />
I love this camera and am extremely proud of my work to keep them going. The following documents what I did.<br />

The tower of ARRI S parts. ARRI stopped producing most of the ARRI S parts long ago but we were lucky to have a large graveyard of cameras to steal parts from. I spent many hours sorting, cleaning and documenting all of these parts.<br />
<br />
Below are just some of my many notes, diagrams and how-to guides I have made, parts manuals I tracked down and my beloved Cinema Dictionary which helped to figure a lot of this out.<br />

One of my custom repair rigs, the ARRIFLEX Crash Test Unit.<br />
<br />
I took a damaged shell from a dropped camera and cut out the side so I could install the movement and make adjustments without having to tear apart the camera each time. It also has a custom power switch so the door does not have to be on.<br />
<br />
It's silver because I sandblasted off all the paint.<br />

One of the major problems were the variable speed motors. Many of them would jump all over the tachometer when adjusting speed, they were noisy, ran rough, hard to turn, etc. ARRI had stopped carrying many of the motor bearings so I tracked down replacements through other sources. I would do a complete tear down, replace the bearings, clean everything, repair wiring, lubricate everything and adjust the rheostat. I rebuilt about 30 motors and even resurrected dead ones.<br />

Another motor-related problem was the drive coupler. The metal ball on the end of the motor driveshaft would simply friction-fit inside this rubber coupler which also acted like a clutch. If the camera jammed, the motor would slip inside the coupler if the torque got too high. The problem with this is that eventually the rubber would rot and/or stretch out and it couldn't grip the motor anymore. This became a major problem for us when ARRI stopped making couplers. I spent many months, trying out various type of rubber and parts to fix the problem.<br />

Eventually I came up with this kit which I built from scratch including the spanner bit. I installed this on many cameras with great success.<br />

This is one of the old-style diopters that were on our cameras. They are perfectly fine but ARRI stopped making the rubber eyecup for this model long ago. I was unable to find a replacement that would fit, so I figured out an adapter that would allow the newer eyecups to be used instead.<br />

The Charlesworth Dynamics site was originally setup to cover the Octopod but has since grown to cover a lot of my other projects as well. Before I delved into the digital realm, I had a long history of building and fixing things in the real world and I wanted to showcase some of my hands-on 'analog' projects. I felt that this was especially important since I want to continue combining 3D modeling and printing with real-world hardware and hands-on.<br />

Presented here are some highlights of my work in 3D modeling and 3D printing. I currently have a MakerBot 2X and Thing-O-Matic at home which can print in ABS or PLA plastic. For final prints I typically use a 3D Systems ProJet 7000 or Stratasys Objet Connex500.<br />
<br />
Most of my models have been built in Cinema 4D and post-processed with netfabb.<br />
<br />

After almost 10 years I had a big box of them with no particular use. I decided to clean up the parts and make some jewelry. Sold about 40 items and have never had the time to do more.<br />

<br />
The camera class needed an extension added to the Ronford head to accommodate cameras with a larger magazine. I used aluminum which is easy to mill, the hard part was the precision needed to get all the screws to line up.<br />

The ARRI III is a pretty old 35mm camera but still great and the NYU camera class still uses it a lot. They requested an accessory plate which is a similar design to the ARRI SR II but with a post mount.<br />

<br />
We purchased a snap together 12' x 12' frame for overheads and butterflys (for non-production people: fabrics to control lighting on set) and I put together a carrier.<br />
<br />

<br />
The frame breaks down into eight 6' sections so I made keyed sleeves which slide on the ends and cinch down with webbing which doubles as the carry handle.<br />

I get demented pleasure from organizing (see <a href="http://opus5.complex88.com/2013/05/the-shop.html" target="_blank">The Shop</a> post) and when we get new equipment, I love figuring out how to arrange the case. We typically use Pelican cases which are waterproof, crush proof, etc. and come with pick n pluck foam which is pre-scored so you can easily make the proper cut-out for your equipment. The problem with pick n pluck is under heavy use it falls apart. I put together a custom foam cutting table and we would carve custom layouts from solid foam. This is a total pain and I finally came up with a great compromise. I designed a custom topper for the case which is laser cut from ABS plastic. It's then glued on top of the pick n pluck foam so it doesn't fall apart. As added benefit the plastic can be etched and is a great surface for adding labels. This method has been field tested with great success.<br />

Since I repair film & TV equipment, the band is part of an aluminum light stand and the 'jewel' is a camera bearing which spins, making it a great fidget ring. It remains one of Kate's favorite pieces of jewelry. <br />

I tried to use the band saw, then the jigsaw, and finally a hacksaw to cut the band but none of them turned out square enough. I finally used a pipe cutter which worked great.<br />
<br />

<br />
At this point it was pretty ugly. I drilled and tapped a hole for the bearing screw.<br />
<br />

<br />
To smooth things out, I started with jeweler files, then moved to various fine grades of sandpaper.<br />
<br />

<br />
The final polish was done with a felt wheel and polishing rouge. It cleaned up so well that it almost looks like silver.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Final step was to use an extremely short screw to attach the bearing. I used high-strength threadlocker on the screw so it will never come out.<br />

It's not 100% accurate or 100% done but I'm pretty proud of it. The original blaster was made from a modified Sterling machine gun but I built mine completely from scratch, using mostly junk film equipment. The only 3D printed item on this is the rear portion of the scope, everything else is metal. It's more or less finished except for some good weathering.<br />

This was derived from the iris door on the <a href="http://opus5.complex88.com/2012/05/its-wrap.html" target="_blank">Octopod</a> and was a hit at Maker Faire. It's a great gift for kids and a fun fidget toy. Complete files and directions can be found on my <a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/countspatula/designs" target="_blank">Thingiverse page</a>.<br />

I reprinted some Octopod parts for Maker Faire way back in September and forgot about posting pix.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The cockpit lid had a few problems. Due to the nature of the material I printed with, it wasn't holding it's shape properly and the curvature of the top was acting like a spring which caused it to fit poorly. </div>

I added a beam on the underside which helped to keeps the shape. I also beefed up the ladder rungs so they wouldn't snap off like the first print. On the first lid I printed the hatch wheels too small and they broke. I ended up reprinting beefier ones that I drilled a hole for. This worked so well that I did the same thing for this version. The bonus to this method is the wheel actually turns when installed.<br />
<br />
<br />
I also added magnet mounts on the underside to keep the lid in place better.<br />

Another problem area on the original print were the propellers. They were supposed to rotate, but I messed up the tolerances and they fused in place. They also got in the way when trying to clean support material out of the engines and I snapped some blades off.<br />
<br />
For the reprints I increased the tolerances and added a hole in the front so support material could be cleaned out. The original props were snapped off, the stumps cleaned up and the replacements glued in place. <br />

And I finally figured out how to rebuild the control panels and dedication plaque so the white and black had proper separation. It's hard to believe but these tiny little parts turned out to be some of the hardest to build for printing.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is a good example of how some 3D printing materials are not meant for real production. I used an acrylic-like material for the Octopod and over the last few months it has started to droop in places. The front face of the cockpit has sagged and there are now gaps all around the cockpit and at the bottom of the housing. I gave him a bit of a facelift with some rubberbands but it's not perfect. A redesign would help but the material is not necessarily suitable for long-term use. </td></tr>
