With the resurgence of manufacturing in the United States, how much easier has it become to achieve this goal?

Project

Recreate teenage engineering’s computer-1, manufactured and sourced entirely in the United States.

Goals

  • Case manufactured in America.
  • Parts sourced from American suppliers.
  • Open-sourced CAD and BOM so that anyone can order their own.
  • Breakdown of pricing (teenage engineering vs. bulk vs. one-off).

Requirements

  • Mini-ITX
  • SFX Power Supply
  • Aluminum Enclosure
  • Flat-packable

As close as possible to the computer-1 without any branding.

The full process will be documented on this blog, with all files and resources available on GitHub.

]]> Exporting 3D Model From Blender to SceneKit https://camdenfullmer.com/posts/exporting-blender-model-scenekit/ Fri, 03 Jan 2025 12:00:00 -0500 https://camdenfullmer.com/posts/exporting-blender-model-scenekit/ This post describes the process of exporting a 3D model from Blender to use in SceneKit. Steps
  1. Select the object you want to export in Blender.
  2. Go to File > Export > glTF 2.0 (.glb/gltf).
  3. Under Include make sure to check Limit to > Selected Objects and then click Export glTF 2.0.
  4. Open Reality Converter, go to File > Import and find the file you just exported from Blender.
  5. Once it’s done importing go to File > Export and export it to a USDZ file by clicking Export.
  6. Open up your project in Xcode.
  7. Import the USDZ file by dragging and dropping it into your project or going to File > Add Files to….
  8. Select the file and click the Export to SceneKit button in the top right to save the new file. You now have a SceneKit compatible model that you can use in your project.

You can delete the imported USDZ file from your project as it is no longer required.
