Light-triggered process lets 3D printers create custom glass structures without glue or high temperatures
Researchers have developed the first binder-free method for 3D printing glass, using light to trigger a chemical reaction that directly forms silica structures without the need for organic additives or extreme heat. This breakthrough makes glass printing faster, cleaner, and more precise, with the potential to revolutionize fields from optics to medicine by enabling custom, high-performance glass components that were previously impossible to manufacture.

3D-Druck: Bahn druckt 200.000 Ersatzteile selbst - Golem.de
Seit zehn Jahren setzt die Deutsche Bahn auf 3D-Druck. Das Lager umfasst bereits mehr als 1.000 Bauteile - vom Kleinteil bis zum 540-Kilo-Getriebegehäuse.

Sometimes you forget to measure something precisely but it all still works out in the end.

Had a magnetic mounting plate for a smoke detector that was glued to the ceiling and no longer in use after I got a new smoke detector.
And since it was annoying and ugly, and next to a moon lamp, there was only one thing I could realistically do, right?
3D print a Saturn V rocket and attach it with magnets.

Handlebar brackets are done… I’ll mount the board on it tomorrow.

dehydrating the filament does make a difference for 3D printing. Much less stringing. I'm using my food dehydrator occasionally to dry filament that was sitting outside too long on the printer. ##3Dprint #3Dprinting

I picked my first 3D printer I ever bought based on the desire to print shoes that would fit my feet. (I never actually tried to 3D print shoes in the end.) Being able to 3D print a chair as one single print would be really cool.

Well, fuck. That's not supposed to happen...

Darn those chicken and egg problems.
Killed my 3d-printer's hotend probably by over tightening the nozzle, about to change to another cold/hotend but only now discover that I need two different print head parts. But right now, I don't have a printer capable of printing ABS/ASA...

Making great progress on the Shenzhou spacecraft 3D print! Firing up the printer again and streaming the next phase of the build. Hope to see you there! #3dprintinglife #Maker #Space

Finally #3dprinting again. Had some hotend nozzle clogging and learned about different methods to overcome that. Turns out 'cold pull' is best. Now only 2.5 more hours to go. ;)

I'm trying to use paths to make hair in Blender for the first time and it's actually easier and more fun than what I thought! I will still have to do some cleanup but I would have imploded doing this in a different way.

I've got more design work to do but I am making good progress on the handheld two button controller.

My first print with wood PLA filament, a trefoil knot with rope texture. Initially, there were a few issues with adhesion to the plate, but then it worked quite well with the hardened 0.6 nozzle. #3dprint #bambulab

I finally know how to efficiently create decorations that are bent along a rounded rectangular path. #openscad #creativecoding #3d

Continuing our 3D print today of the Shenzhou capsule and Tiangong space station! Tune in to see the progress on this cool space model. #3dprinting

On design, analysis, and hybrid manufacturing of microstructured blade-like geometries
With the evolution of new manufacturing technologies such as multi-material 3D printing, one can think of new type of objects that consist of considerably less, yet heterogeneous, material, consequently being porous, lighter and cheaper, while having the very same functionality as the original object when manufactured from one single solid material. We aim at questioning five decades of traditional paradigms in geometric CAD and focus at new generation of CAD objects that are not solid, but con…

Come on, just one more video how to bend the 'Wiener Geflecht' to a cylinder because why not.

Made some billfold wallets (4 1/4”x3 5/8”) using my stash of lenticular sheets which I’ve been hoarding because many of these are no longer available (except the Stars and Stripes, very Evel Knievel!) and have more on my workbench, some solids too. They take me a while with all the pockets, laminating the lenticular material to make it more durable, and all the edge grinding and edge painting. Lots of steps. But they last years! These will be at the Blue Genie Art Bazaar which starts November 14 bluegenieartbazaar.com #handmade #vinylwallets #lenticular #3D #billfold #wallet #bluegenieartbazaar #austintexas #austintx #nakatsubyjna

It looked like a promising print, but unfortunately it failed a few layers later due to a clogged nozzle. However, the pattern seems to be easy to print without support. #3dprinting #bambulab #basket
