Ultimaker is now officially Designed in the Netherlands, Assembled in the USA. Ultimaker has long been seen as one of the leading 3D printers in the market place. No matter what kind of 3D printing person you are, a professional, a hobbyist, you’ve probably heard of the machines produced in the Netherlands. They are takng […]
The Ultimaker 2 just arrived in the Maker Shed.
This gearbox by Ultimaker power user Barnacules consists of a triple planetary gear, 3D-printed with support material that is cut off after the print.
Sure, your 3D Printer runs reliably as long as it sits safely at home, but what would happen if dozens of college students used it each week? Georgia Tech Mechanical Engineering student Jeff Landrum discusses the challenges behind building, managing, and automating a “printer farm” at one of the largest student-run makerspaces in the country.
What happens when we bring a 3D printer to San Francisco’s financial district?
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 […]
Very cool stunt from Thingiverse user acen, using a technique he credits to “zeq.” In fact, this fully 3D version of the original Apple logo is a bit specialized, because the method would be much harder to use on a color object that wasn’t divided into clear horizontal bands of color. Basically, it involves calculating exactly how much of each filament color will go into making your model, cutting those colors to accurate lengths, arranging them in order, and fusing them together.
