To create the “Singing 3D Printer”, Sink utilized a downloaded MIDI file of the original theme that he found at and converted it to something that the 3D printer would recognize - g-code.
(Spoiler alert: It wasn’t easy),' wrote Sink on his blog. 'Inspired by the old printer that played the E1M1 music from my favorite video game Doom, I decided to see how difficult it would be to get my 3D printer to do the same thing with the theme from Jurassic Park. Of course, creating a song using a 3D printer means two things: whoever did it was likely to have to do some programming and it was likely not easy.
Between the legions of Kickstarter projects to material advancements and applications for 3D printing, it seems like everyday we are met with tens of exciting new developments.however few have been as unusual as this “innovation”.Īndrew Sink, a Maker based out of Richmond, Virginia on the eastern side of the United States, has recently ‘hacked’ his 3D printer to be able to play the ‘Jurassic Park’ theme song. Normally when we hear about “innovations in 3D printing”, the bulk of those innovations are centered around new and improved ways of creating physical objects using additive manufacturing techniques.
