Join @ishotjr and a panel of special guests as we dive deep to explore the coolest high-tech digital #fabrication tools for your #workshop, from #LaserCutters to #3Dprinters to #CNC machines! Register now for our Thursday, February 20th V92 #LaunchParty!
#Bambu Lab Firmware Update Forces Cloud Dependency & User Lock-In - Avoid Their #3DPrinters
3D-printed #guns, like the one allegedly used to kill #UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, are a growing threat in the US and around the world. A tech management professor on why they’re likely to be used in even more criminal activities: https://theconversation.com/3d-printed-guns-like-the-one-allegedly-used-to-kill-a-health-care-ceo-are-a-growing-threat-in-the-us-and-around-the-world-246220

Tom’s Hardware: Lemontron, an open source, fully-portable 3D printer, has arrived— Can be transported in an empty filament box. “While entry-level 3D printers can certainly be cheaper than Lemontron, they’re considerably bulkier than Lemontron— though seeing as Lemontron requires access to a 3D printer to build anyway, it’s more likely that this is better for use when traveling than to be […]

The 3DPrinting modifications can of course be installed on existing 3DPrinters
Joshua Bird hat nicht nur einen neuen Ansatz für #3dprinters mit polarer Kinematik entwickelt, sondern einen Prototypen aus Standard-Komponenten gebaut, die Firmware erstellt und eine funktionierende Slicing-Software geschrieben.
Ein echt vielversprechender 4-Achs Drucker fürs "Einsteiger" Preissegment.
Das ganze geht direkt #opensource !
Hut ab! ... wir werden bald die ersten Maschinen in der Community so drucken sehen.

@flexion Yeah....
As for #prototyping the general dimensions and look, #filament is also way cheaper so one can iron-out the design then test-print segments in a smol resin before getting in touch with a fabricator to deal with it.
Even the #Creality #CR10S5 is a hard sell despite being just an oversized #filament printer that'll slowly sqeeze out "fancy hot glue" at it's end.
OSHW Open Source Hardware the (new) Prusa 3DPrinters are not OSHW anymore

Last year, as part of her Math Teachers' Circle leadership, my wife made a Julia Robinson Math Festival in a box, and started loaning it out to teachers. JRMF sells such things, but because it's tricky for some complicated reasons to get grant money to pay for the ones they sell, she worked out how to do it more cheaply, doing a lot of the work herself.
So this year, the North Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics asked her to make eight more boxes to share around the state at their upcoming conference, and they worked out enough grant money to pay for most of the materials for her mostly DIY boxes.
This is why my #3DPrinters are going day and night printing 640 Skyscrapers puzzle pieces.
I modeled them to print parsimoniously, but 640 of anything takes a while even with fast 3D printers. My Qidi X-Max 3 has faster acceleration (helpful for boxes 20mm square) but a 0.4mm nozzle and lower power hot end, so each wall takes four perimeters and I'm using thinner 0.2mm layers. My SK-Tank has half the acceleration (still 10K mm/s²!) but a 0.6mm nozzle that allows it to print the walls in two perimeters and a higher-power hot end, so I can use thicker 0.3mm layers (I could go thicker but the parts would suffer cosmetically). 80 4-unit-high blocks take about 30 hours on the Qidi; 80 1-unit-high blocks take about 7 hours on the SK-Tank, so not hugely different in the end.
That's actually 1600 20mm³ units. 1600 of anything takes a long time. Ignoring any print failures, that's about 148 printer-hours of time. Across two printers, that will average out to about 3 print-days.
We're making lots more opportunities for kids to explore the joys of math.
#GhostGuns, which have been used in a growing number of #crimes over the past decade, are typically assembled at home using parts, kits or pieces printed by #3Dprinters. Manufacturers say they don’t have to comply w/ #regulations on other #guns sold commercially because ghost guns don’t meet the #legal definition of a “firearm” under the nation’s main #GunControl #law & are marketed for hobbyists.
#ChiefJustice #JohnRoberts expressed incredulity at that, given how easy they are to assemble.
PLA filament containing wood... gimick or worth a play?
Considering printing some table top planter holders and kinda like the idea of the wood filament on paper, but not convinced from anything I've read/seen yet. Seems to be little _recent_ utoob content on the subject, lots of stuff from about 5 years ago. Generally seems to be recommended to sand & stain/varnish for best effect. Could you just do that with any beige PLA?
I can see how #3Dprinters are addictive now.
I'm already thinking about what will be the next one. The one I have was bought specifically because I needed to do ABS, so I did the research and picked a basic enclosed model, which has quite a small print volume.
I think the next one should just be a larger format open design one for PLA printing.
The SOVOL-SV06 Plus looks like a good option, or the SV07 Plus for a bit more £.
Not happening any time soon mind.
