What could make Father’s Day really feel big this year? How about a really big 3D printer for free? Leapfrog thought that would be really cool, so they’ve asked if we want to give one away. Of course we said yes. Leapfrog has offered up a Creatr XL printer. These things are really big, with […]
Come to the dark side, we have chocolate. Juan Gutierrez does all kinds of 3D printing art, vacuum forming, and various interesting home manufacturing projects. His latest endeavor was quite tasty looking. He combined 3D printing and Vacuum forming to create a dark chocolate Darth Vader mask. He started with a 3d print, vacuum formed […]
Come on down to Maker Faire Bay Area to see Michael Curry’s 3D printed, 70 pound, giant RC vehicle. This monster took over 5 months to fabricate in PLA at Kansas City’s Hammerspace on two MakerBot Replicator 2.
Today at Maker Con Carl Bass of Autodesk, announced the yet-to-be-named “Autodesk 3D Printer” and “Spark”, an “open” (but not open source) 3D printing platform.
