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

*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...
Anyone with a #3d

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

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.

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

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.

wer Zugriff auf einen 3D-Drucker und ein Fahrrad hat, findet in dieser Kollektion vielleicht etwas Inspiration? ;-)
Oder Ihr habt selbst schon etwas entworfen, was Ihr bei diesem Wettbeweb einreichen wollt?

💢 Why is open source hardware not working for 3D printers?

Come on, just one more video how to bend the 'Wiener Geflecht' to a cylinder because why not.
It feels like coding/modeling the #3d object with #OpenSCAD is more fun then #3dprinting is. Althou…

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

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

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…

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…

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

From Earth to orbit, one layer at a time. I'm live now, 3D printing the Shenzhou spacecraft! Come join the stream to see this epic space project unfold. #3DPrinting #Shenzhou #Spacecraft

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

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

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

I printed the small footballs that I recently modelled. #airball #openscad #3dprinting

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

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

Today we’re 3D printing a T-REX skull 🦖 — with a working jaw joint!
Because static dinos are extinct.

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

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

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 think I am ready for #3dprinting this ribbon ball modell of mine tomorrow. #openscad #takraw #rattan
