3D Printed Stereoscopic Viewer!
I printed a stereoscopic viewer by Kongorilla and it took about 6 hours of printing time and it fit together great. I lasercut some acrylic mirrors and slapped them in and supperglued it shut since I didn’t have the right screws on hand. It works great! We’ll have these on hand at Maker Faire! If you haven’t seen Kongorilla’s pdf of images, it’s freaking awesome. Check it! Kongorilla won a runner’s up prize in the MakerBot Giveaway. This is a super fine design and great documentation.
So far my favorite thing to do is watch a slideshow on flickr.
It turns out youtube now has 3D movies and these viewers work perfectly!

Don’t use the viewer with the cross-eyed stuff, the depth will be backwards! (Though, theoretically, you could bend the viewer enough to cross the views. I never got that to work with my handmade prototype, so I assume it’s not easy or possible with an actual print of the ‘scope).
Also, over time superglue can permanently fog up mirrors. Everyone else use screws!
It’s really weird to see something I made on my computer, but have never seen in real life, in someone else’s hands.
I hope people have fun with them! I can’t wait to see them at the Faire.
