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.

Einführung in Blender : #Blender #3d …

Einführung in Blender
Das 3D-Programm Blender hat so viele Optionen, daß ein einziger Artikel dem unmöglich gerecht werden kann. Hier versuche ich, zumindest einen ersten Einstieg…

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.

Oder Ihr habt selbst schon etwas entworfen, was Ihr bei diesem Wettbeweb einreichen wollt?

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.

Playing with different sizes, found a nice one with strong ribbons and a good haptic. #rattanball #3dprinting #openscad

*sigh*
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...

Researchers create 3D-printed living lung tissue
UBC Okanagan researchers have developed a 3D bio-printed model that closely mimics the complexity of natural lung tissue, an innovation that could transform how scientists study lung disease and develop new treatments.

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.

Ooooh! The current Printables contest is for 3D printed bike gear!
#3Dprinting

Bike Gear | Contest theme | Printables.com
If you like to ride your bicycle, you know—there’s always something that could work better. This round is for 3D-printable parts and accessories that make cycling smoother, safer, or just more fun. Think mounts for lights or action cameras, bottle holders, custom tool clips, chain keepers, mudguards, storage solutions, or transport helpers. Or give your bike some personality with custom valve caps, spoke decorations, handlebar charms, or other small touches that turn it into the bike of you…

Wife and I improvised a wardrobe from scrap stuff we had laying around. 0€ spent, some 3D printed parts (designed in #SolveSpace) hold everything together. That's why I love #3DPrinting. 💪

The baskets are also perfect as planters for kitchen herbs, for example. Just let me know if you'd like to see them on Etsy. #3dprinting #baskets #openscad

Generating real-time detailed ground visualisations from sparse aerial point clouds
Building realistic wide scale outdoor 3D content with sufficient visual quality to observe at walking eye level or from driven vehicles is often carried out by large teams of artists skilled in modelling, texturing, material shading and lighting, which typically leads to both prohibitive costs and reduced accuracy honoring the variety of real world ground truth landscapes. In our proposed method, we define a process to automatically amplify real-world scanned data and render real-time in animat…

I think this will be a good new challenge for #3dprinting. I think the tube diameter needs to be sufficient for stability, otherwise it will be too elastic and act like a spring instead of a ball. #openscad (thanks @damarberlari@x for his stunning visual article

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

Alright, time to fix the biggest issue with the Legion Go: the D-Pad. It was absolutely destroying me trying to play _Sea of Stars_ and with the power bestowed on me by my 3D printer, it _will_ be fixed.

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

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. ;)

From fantasy to science, all in one stream! Join me as I explore Middle-earth in LOTRO while 3D printing the legendary Tiangong-1 Space Station. The only thing better than an epic quest is a real-life space build. #LOTRO #3DPrinting

Sometimes you see an STL and it looks simple but has a restrictive license so you decide to make your own version...
This is a bike reflector in three parts that screws together (after adding reflective tape to one part) and hides an Apple AirTag inside. It then zip ties to your seat post.
(Needs a few more tweaks before I share it.)

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!

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…
