Google Science Fair is a global online competition open to individuals or team from 13 to 18 years old. Submit before May, 19th to change our World! Here a video about what Science Fair is. Check 3Drag printer at 0’10”!! via Home page – Google Science Fair.
A research group at the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (iaac.net), based in Barcelona set on a goal of re-elaborating 3D printing techniques to overcome existing limitations for large scale application. Here are the first results: “The objective was to develop a family of small scale construction robots, all mobile and capable of constructing…
Did you know you can find some interesting groups on Groups – Thingiverse? Since a few days you can now share your mods, prints and …whatever you like in a group which is dedicated to 3Drag users!
The 2015 edition of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, has been the largest and most amazing exhibition in the history of CES so far, according to Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) that is the owner and showrunner of this fair. The venue stretched over more than 2.2 million net square feet of exhibit…
Another interesting printer is on kickstarter with a clever mechanism for expanding the bed size: The Thingystock is completely upgradeable by the user. The frame is made in 3 parts and, by simply adding additional pieces, can be expanded to support larger bed sizes. The rods can be replaced with taller ones, the arms can be…

Well, when it comes to creating original chocolate mixes you will probably be born, but if you want to succeed in the art of pastry, then everyone can be made: you just need…
A 3dPrinter OS that works from the cloud. Probably the most non-open source solution… or maybe not? Who knows how this will evolve. Still a bit hard to me to understand what is the actual user experience. Did someone try? Please share your impressions in the comment! We’re excited to announce the release of the alpha and…
A few months ago we presented a 3D printing contest for owners of the 3Drag 3D printer. Despite we received some tweaks and changes more asked us to open the competition to those who have a different type of printer or even built a new model. As several Makers sent us pictures and information about…
The 3D printer 3Drag is famous for being completely open and easily hackable. With a simple modification with the 3Drag you can also print the materials softer and more flexible. Just download from Thingiverse the filament guide and the extruder base. The latter has been stretched in order to avoid that the filaments can be more…
[vimeo id=”94832056″ width=”620″ height=”360″] We recently spotted a very interesting project, the 3dprinter called Fa)(a 3d: a modular, open source printer that was born out the collaboration of several Italian fablabs. The team behind the printer promotes its kit mostly thanks to a workshop that bets on the importance of a collaborative moment to build…
Incredibly cool project. I love the exciting question it raises: “If there were a platform for using your hands to build three-dimensional computer models, what might it look like?” Cubecube – an open-source hardware project – is a tangible, tactile interface for CAD (computer-aided design.) As open source design platforms continue to emerge, there is…
Some weeks ago we launched our contest to see what you can do with a 3Drag printer and some results to achieve. With this post, we are showcasing you some cool stuff made by 3Drag fans: you can already find much hacks and mods for this 3D printer across the Internet, and some of these…
