Manufacturer: 3inus / Whatgeek Kickstarter Campaign Price: $99 I am a bit of a gadget freak, and also a low-key mechanical keyboard enthusiast. Perhaps a little more than low-key – I can count at least half a dozen keebs around the office from a quick glance. I am also a bit of a peripheral and […]
Manufacturer: Mingda Price: $269 URL: https://3dmingdaofficial.com/products/magician-x2 Features: Unboxing and Assembly Like the last Mingda Magician model, this one comes in three main pieces. The base, the whole z-frame, and the extruder. Assembly is super quick and easy, only a few bolts. You plug the corresponding wires into the motors, extruder, and bed and you’re ready […]
Manufacturer: HTVront Price: $251 URL: https://bit.ly/3lAyqgI Features First Use There is basically no setup with this machine. You unbox it and it is ready to go.

Manufacturer: Voxelab URL: https://www.voxelab3dp.com/product/aquila-d1-fdm-3d-printer Price: $399 Features The Voxelab D1 seems to be targeting the feature rich, reliable desktop workhouse demographic. They didn’t aim for a speed demon and the price is relatively cheap. With items like 25 point auto bed leveling, linear rails, and a 300c capable extruder, it certainly sounds like it should be able to […]
Manufacturer: Keychron URL: https://www.keychron.com Price: $215 I spend a stupid amount of time at my desk every day. I have invested substantially in my computer setup and productivity, with half a dozen computers – covering every major OS – and at least a dozen displays on my crazy IKEA Jerker workstation. I have a bizarre $350 RollerMouse, because […]
Manufacturer: Meyer Makes URL: https://mayermakes.at/engineering-resin/ Price: $72.61 Resin based 3D prints are notoriously brittle, even when advertised as tough. Meyer Makes Engineering Resin surprised me though, with how durable it really is. Right off the printer, this stuff looks yellowish but gets clearer as it cures. The durability is really impressive. Thin parts can flex and bend […]
