3Dhotbed

A collaborative project to create 3D printable models of common tools used in book history instruction. The team = @marcimic @kmosullivan and @courtneyejacobs

Thanks #Shax2023 that was a blast! For the early birds who managed to snag one of the typecasting teaching toolkits we’d love your feedback/photos/suggestions! If you have a 3D dataset you think might augment the collection please let us know!

[3Dhotbed @3Dhotbed]

Come visit 3Dhotbed at #Shax2023 on Friday between 11-1 in the Symphony Ballroom to learn more about teaching book history in 3D! We have a few typecasting teaching toolkits in these fancy new bags that need a new home!

HI! We’ve been a bit offline but we are BACK and will be heading to Minneapolis this week for the Shakespeare Association of America’s annual conference. We made new shwag and will be raffling off typecasting toolkits in these cool new bags!

AS WELL AS a set for numbers & one for punctuation and spaces of all sizes!

We’re celebrating #TypeHighDay by launching our NEW type setting toolkits! Download the datasets to 3D print a complete set of moveable resin type along with a composing stick so you can practice setting type by hand!

There’s a dataset for minuscule (lowercase) letters (linked above) and one for majuscule (uppercase) letters here https://t.co/yMIdJBj0z9

TFW when you’re in suggestion mode and accidentally discover Google docs’ sense of propriety.

(Also feel free to compliment @CourtneyEJacobs on her hand modeling skills - it’s always good to have a backup career 😹)

Word on the tweets is we’re talking #Gutenberg today. Looks like a great opportunity to remind everyone that you can download and 3D print a moveable hand mould to learn the iterative process that is moveable metal typecasting at

Not interested in a physical toolkit but still intrigued about the punch matrix system used the cast multiple identical sorts (or pieces of type) that revolutionized the transmission of information in 15th C Europe? Check out our video:

@pnuemoman @alextheknitter @eliza_audacis This is the method we used to create our first woodcut teaching tool here:

Our modeler created an SVG from a printed image and extruded it onto a block!

[3Dhotbed @3Dhotbed]

@alextheknitter @eliza_audacis OR you can send your model data to a commercial printing service that offers resin (Stereolithography or SLA) printing or Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) - both allow for more detail on your final prints. Shapeways has come highly recommended.

[3Dhotbed @3Dhotbed]

@alextheknitter @eliza_audacis The best part about the work they’re doing at Plantin-Moretus is you might be able to pick a simpler design with less detail and replicate the extrusion process to create a block that’s printable via an FDM printer.
