Binder Cover Printable: Fill & Download for Free

I’m assuming you mean a proper physical note book. My advise is only 3D print a note book sleeve/cover.The best approach to this is to first plan out the dimensions with the existing note book, and decide your attaching system. I personally would recommend simply using glue to attach the note book, or extracting the clip system from a binder and gluing that in to a back piece to create a custom binder.From there I would advise designing the cover and spine pieces, and potentially looking into some hinge designs if you want to go the extra mile. You can find printable hinge mechanisms online you can try working with. From there, do whatever cut outs or additions you want to the exterior covers to personalize it, and then get it printed.Keep in mind this will be a big flat printing project, so it will either go really well, or really badly ( I have had a very mixed experience with wide flat prints).

3D printing is a collection of technologies that all try answer to a question, "What is the best way in which to make any individual physical object by building it up layer by layer?" With 3D printing you typically build a loaf of bread slice by slice.The technologies all work differently, but one of the most common FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling) works with a printing head being fed a plastic filament (usually ABS, the same plastic that LEGO is made from).A 3D file is checked by software to see if it is printable.The software then slices the file and sends it to a machine.A plastic filament is fed through the printing head.The filament melts and the head then deposits it on a build platform.The head moves around depositing the material so that it makes up the bottom slice of the object.The head returns to its starting position and the build platform is lowered.The head then builds the new layer on top of the first and this is repeated until the object is done.For a DIY simulation, squeeze a tube of toothpaste out on your hand.If we were to build a wine glass shape we would encounter a problem. If we wanted to print the bowl of the glass the plastic would go all over the place. Because of this, advanced machines (and soon also desktop machines) also deposit support material. With support material the print head has two extruders, one that deposits build material and the other support material. So when building a wine glass you would actually build a cylinder shape that extends to the furthest reaches of the bowl of the glass.The print head would extrude build material for the parts of the layer that would end up being the wine glass and also extrude lots of support material so that once an overhanging structure has to be built the build material can be built on top of that. So you end up with a cylinder of plastic that has your wine glass in it. You can then use a water yet or a bath of solvent (there are lots of ways) to wash away the support material and you are left with your final object.Here is a video that shows how this process works (disclosure, video is made by Materialise a company I worked for):Here is another video by Shapeways (disclosure, I used to work there also) showing you some support material and its removal:FDM gives you high dimensional accuracy, but the parts are generally less attractive than those made with other technologies.Selective Laser SinteringSelective Laser intering or Laser Sintering is a different process whereby a fine plastic powder (PA12 similar to Nylon) is deposited and a laser sinters the parts that will become your model. The rest of the powder acts as support. A new layer is then applied and the process repeats itself. You are then left with a block of fine powder that holds your parts. SLS has a jeans like feel to it and has great mechanical properties, but the material is porous so it absorbs dirt and fluids. Above is a UAV wing built with SLS.DMLSYou can also 3D print titanium and steel with DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering) which works in the same way, but with titanium powder. Here you can see how a jaw implant is made:DMLS gives you metal parts and very high strength, but in addition to the support coming from the unsintered powder, additional support structures have to be made because of the high temperatures acting on the part. These have to be removed by hand using a flex or other machine tool.EBMElecton Beam Melting (EBM) works with a directed beam of electrons. EBM has rougher surface texture than other processes, but this makes it ideally suited for implants. Over 30,000 orthopedic implants are made each year with EBM.3D PrintingThe actual correct name for all 3D printing technologies is additive manufacturing, but the public has chosen 3D printing as the term. 3D printing is actually the name of one set of technologies derived from the MIT 3D printing patent whereby a printing head (the same as in your Hewlett-Packard printer) goes over a layer of powder and binds this material with a binder. You can print color with this process and this is what the Zcorp machines do. Using the same technology, but with a more complex process, ExOne can print metal. Zcorp parts have color, but they are fragile. ExOne makes metal parts cheaply (a steel wedding ring is $8), but it has lower dimensional accuracy and requires quite a lot of time comparatively.Voxeljet uses the same technology to print sand and PMMA and this process is used for casting many pumps and other industrial machinery. Voxeljet currently has the largest 3D printer in the world which has a build volume of 4 x 2 x 1 meters.StereolithographyStereolithography was actually the first technology that was commercialized and it was invented by Chuck Hull at 3D Systems. Lasers build up and object in a bath of resin. This process gives you great smoothness and nice looking parts, but it requires a post curing step and support structures have to be removed by hand. In the photo above, you can see the support structures holding up a replica of King Tut's mummy (note the lattice support structure holding up the head). SLA parts are also typically less resistant to the wear and tear of the real world and used for things like prototypes because they look good and look amazing when finished. An example at the Citroen GT car interior and dash seen below, the video shows you a lamp made with SLA.Envisiontec(Disclosure, I currently do consulting work for Envisiontec) Whereas nearly all 3D printing technologies work layer by layer there are exceptions. With Envisiontec Digital light processing is used (same technology as is found in DLP projectors and DLP TV's). A liquid resin is cured and made solid by a DLP projector projecting an image of a voxel (volumetric pixel) on it. The size and shape of the resulting printed voxel can vary and depending on the image. Envisiontec can not make really large things, but it makes small highly detailed things such as custom hearing aids, dental implants and molds for jewels. Above you can see a build tray of hearing aids. Over 10,000,000 pairs of hearing aids have been 3D printed. The second video is in German, but it does show you how the technology is being used by dentists.ObjetObjet works when a photopolymer is deposited by an inkjet printing head. The resulting layer is then cured with a UV lamp. Traditionally the problem with Objet was that parts made with it were very fragile, but they have been improving the materials. The most interesting thing about Objet is that it can do multimaterial 3D printing, so you can make things with different densities and hardness for example. The razor handle below can be made flexible in parts and rigid in other parts while having soft pads where you hold it, all in one print run (funnily enough, the razor below might be a case of copyright infringement because Gillette has patents covering the making of 3D printed razors, 3D so this may mean that this is a shape you are not allowed to make. Patent EP2266727A1 - A method of forming a functional razor cartridge and a functional razor cartridge)Why is 3D printing useful?3D printing lets you make unique shapes quickly without start up costs. In traditional mass manufacturing you spend eight weeks making a mold and tooling and have to wait eight weeks for your things to arrive from China. A mold may cost you anywhere from $10,000 to $200,000, but once you have taken the time and expense to make this mold it can spit out a million identical things at a high rate for a very low cost.With a 3D printer an object has to be built up individually in a machine. As soon as you have the design you can start printing. But, because of the cost of the materials and the cost of the machine and the space the part takes up in the machine (purchase, interior volume and speed) your thing will typically be more expensive than an injection-molded item. So a 3D printed lamp might cost you $80 while the injection molded lamp would be $1. But, with 3D printing you could make thousands of variations of this lamp and print all of these out without additional costs or time, each costing $80 (larger lamps will be more expensive, and there may be a cost for customizing the design).3D printing excels in making unique things. Things that only need to be made once, things that are individualized, things that are only meant to be beautiful for one person.Why is 3D printing revolutionary?With 3D printing you can print close to the customer or even in your own home. Because many of the things that surround us are mass manufactured these things suck. They are meant to be produced in their millions because that's how these mass manufacturing processes work. So, they are meant to appeal to a large number of people without satisfying anyone's needs. With 3D printing you can make and design unique things and make things for a single person. You can also produce shapes that can not be made by any other means. By manufacturing differently you can produce things on demand or iterate and test your design while continually making better things. We can also work together and share designs and improve them using software and in so doing improve the quality of all things. We will also be able to democratize manufacturing and potentially let anyone make anything. This will have a fundamental impact on our world.For more information you can check this answer:Why is 3D printing said to be the third industrial revolution?3D printing industryThe 3D printing industry is a $2,000,000,000 industry that has been growing by 26% per year in revenue since 1989. While the media focuses on home 3D printing almost the entire industry is business to business.Many companies use 3D printers to prototype things. They use them to test designs and develop products faster. Other companies use the technology for short run parts, spare parts or low volume production. It is used in car racing to make parts and also in car customization and in such things as the Veyron dashboard. Parts on the Dreamliner and Airbus A380 are 3D printed and it is used in medical prototypes, surgical guides and implants. Wherever there is a need for a unique item with a specific design 3D printing can be found. At its very core the promise of 3D printing is as a wish fulfillment technology that will let us dream up any thing and make it.What are some of the limitations of 3D printing?The machines are too expensive and not reliable.Materials are not strong enough.Many 3D printed parts do not look good enough.It is too hard to design for 3D printing.The blank canvas problem means we are often not inspired or indeed fear creating something.Machines are not fast enough.Many parts are not smooth enough.etc.More in depth informationIf you would like to know more about the topic, there are more answers that you may be interested in:What will be the future implications of the advancements in manufacturing technology, as described in the Feb 12-18th, 2011 issue of The Economist (magazine) cover story The Printed World?How does 3D printing work?Which companies are using 3D Printing technology to develop successful commercial projects?What are some of the coolest things made by 3D printers?How will an increase in the ubiquity of 3D printing affect the environment and conspicuous consumption?Which 3D printing company will be the industry leader in 10 years?What are the strongest materials in 3D printing that is widely available?What are the technology trends driving the development of the 3D printing industry?Joris Peels's answer to In what ways is the advent of 3D printing good and bad for the environment?Will 3D Printing Change the entire copyright landscape?What software should one learn in order to fabricate using the most commonly available 3D printers?

There really aren’t a bunch of tricks in couponing although some of those reality couponing shows can make it look that way.Here is my basic overall couponing strategy:#1 (and most important): Know each store’s coupon policies. Familiarize yourself with each store’s coupon policies. Adhere to them. There is no bargain worth getting that’s worth cheating to get it.#2: Find a coupon source (or several). Generally, the best source of coupons is the Sunday newspaper. There are coupon sections that are printed on magazine stock—a kind of glossy, shiny paper. Some couponers call them “slicks”. Either subscribe to the paper (most have Sunday only subscriptions) or befriend someone who does and will give you the coupons. I used to have a seven day subscription to the paper + 2 extra Sunday Only subscriptions. (Oh, and remember anyone who gives you coupons by sharing your bargains with them).#3: Sign up on company websites. Most companies have websites to connect with consumers. On those sites, you can usually find tips and tricks and recipes using their products. And high-value printable coupons.#4: Decide the Importance of Branding: For instance, flour is flour—there is no real difference between them. As far as condiments, there are differences between the brands, but most are not game changing. Name brand usually costs more on the shelf, but these same brands issue high value coupons that can make the top name brand cheaper than the store brand.#5: Stock Up on Items with Long Shelf Life. This covers a lot of health and beauty items, paper goods, canned goods, plastic bags and household cleaners including laundry supplies, paper, etc. If it doesn’t spoil quickly and you use it frequently, stock up.#6: Figure out which organization method works best for you. I have seen lots of couponers with HUGE three ring binders. Inside the binders are plastic pages with pockets (like for baseball cards). Not sure what the organization method is, but it seems cumbersome to me. Most of these couponers will have several huge binders. Mine is a plastic box with envelopes sorted and labeled by category, i.e, “DAIRY”, “MEAT”, “CLEANING SUPPLIES”…you get the idea…#7: ITEM/COUPON MATCHING: When your grocery ad comes out, make note of the items on sale that you may want or need and/or may have a matching coupon. After identifying the sales on your favorite items, match any coupons you may have with the items on the list. Check your pantries to make sure you need the item if your budget is tight or you’ve super-overstocked the mayonnaise.#8: TO PRINT OR NOT TO PRINT: There are lots of coupon aggregation sites where multiple manufacturers offer coupons for you to print. I tend to only print coupons on an “as needed” basis. It irks me to throw away expired coupons when I used my paper and my ink to print it.The exception? What a lot of people call rare coupons. These are usually for produce, meat or dairy items or are a combination offer. A combination offer is where you receive an item or discount with the purchase of a specified item. For instance, buy a box of name-brand cereal get $2 off a gallon of milk.#9: OVERFLOW: Inevitably you will find yourself overstocked on something. Take this opportunity to straighten up your pantry and donate excess items to food banks (um, obviously food) or shelters (health and beauty items). Share with your friends and neighbors. Set up an essentials pantry to distribute health and beauty items (soap, shampoo, laundry detergent, etc.) to people in need. I have never encountered a sundries pantry but can think of times in my life where it might have been helpful.
