Milwaukee 3D Printer Meetup
Remember that 3D Printing Meetup we had? You probably read all about it. Well, people liked it, so we’re doing it again. If you’ve got a MakerBot, RepRap, Mendel90, Solidoodle, Bukobot, Quantum ORD Bot, or some other oddly named CNC machine that spits out melted plastic, pack it up and join us… if you don’t […]
NEWS FROM THE FUTURE – “The ‘Chemputer’ That Could Print Out Any Drug”
The ‘chemputer’ that could print out any drug @ The Observer What would this mean? Well for a start it would potentially democratise complex chemistry, and allow drugs not only to be distributed anywhere in the world but created at the point of need. It could reverse the trend, Cronin suggests, for ineffective counterfeit drugs […]
How-To: Design Arduino Shields in Eagle
The site Open Electronics recently posted a step-by-step guide to using the EAGLE PCB design software to make your own custom Arduino Shields.
Kevin Mack’s cool 3D art
Mark Frauenfelder & Kevin Mack – Between Order and Chaos from The Avant/Garde Diaries on Vimeo. Directed by Francesca Mirabella & Peter J. Brant / Produced by Benjamin Gilovitz / Music by Nicholas Krgovich / Sound design by Brent Kiser. The Avant/Garde Diaries asked me to interview someone that I admired, so I chose artist […]
Intern’s Corner: The Arduino Bumper
Inspired by Arduino design and the iPhone Bumper, I present to you the 3D-printable Arduino Bumper! The Arduino Bumper is a 3D-printed case for Arduino boards that use the Uno form factor. It allows the Arduino to be placed onto a flat conductive surface without running the risk of shorting out your microcontroller. It also keeps […]
Monolith, a Low-Cost Resin Printer
The Monolith uses a process called “stereolithography” to create a 3-dimensional object, layer by layer. A tray of special liquid resin in placed on the machine, then exposed to ultraviolet light. Areas that are exposed to UV light solidify into a thin layer of plastic. Areas that do not receive UV light remain liquid. The […]
