Trying to figure out what kind of cool stuff you can create with a 3D printer it’s not always easy if you just look to a magazine talking about it or hosting an advertising page: to fully understand what a 3D printer can do for you, you need to start printing. No coincidence that those…
As you may probably figure out we recently attended CES in Las Vegas as basically everyone working In this industry. Wandering around the different booths and shows is always interesting, CES remains probably the best consumer electronics show for the industry and everyone is basically there. This year, during the Leaders in Technology Dinner event,…
Few days ago, we had the chance to have an online chat with Adrian Bowyer. For the few that don’t know him, Adrian is a well respected academic who, also :), invented Rep Rap Project few years ago, giving desktop 3D Printing the boost that ended up in giving birth to tens of open source…
To create a PCB with 3Drag , by milling , it is necessary to have the G-Code files for the tracks patterning and for the holes relating to the printed circuit board itself. In this section we describe how to obtain these G-Code files using a specific plugin for the popular PCB design software ”…
How to create the G-code files from any gerber file (using PCBMill software) necessary to create a PCB with 3Drag, by milling. To create a PCB with 3Drag, by milling, you need the G-Code files for the tracks patterning and for the holes pertaining to the printed circuit board itself. In this section we describe…
[youtube id=”euv3kv9kpEg” width=”620″ height=”360″] After a fair amount of work we can finally presents you a tutorial on how to modify our 3Drag printer or K8200 printer to transform it in a perfect CNC milling machine, to be used for the production of PCBs, by incision. In addition, we also show you the procedures to…
Ever once in a while a good 3d printer project that is committed to be really open source and hackable comes up. The overall setup of the DeltaTrix printer is very similar to that of our amazing 3Drag (repetier, modded Marlin firmware, etc…) Main features: Linear delta robot layout provides a mechanically simple motion platform for…
This post celebrates few of the most incredible Open Source Hardware project from 2013. Most of these projects were crowdfunded, and I believe this tells much about how innovations is funded and encouraged these days. 2013 was a year full of open innovations and 2014 looks largely promising as both huge companies and independent developers…
This very interesting printer was created by a bunch of students. It seems a very cool project, unfortunately enough is not open source 🙁 The Deltaprintr is a new take on efficient, high-resolution 3D printing. Take your designs to new heights! We engineered the Deltaprintr to be simple, efficient, and affordable. We want as many…
Apparently this is the first 3d printer that can be assembled without fasteners. Unfortunately not open source (the hardware). We wanted to design the best 3D printer that will be fast to assemble and to print high quality parts. The assembling process doesn’t required technical background. That will open the door to many users still…
Interesting kickstarter project wants to crowdfund a new and incredibly powerful extruder that can print with lots of materials. Not open source 🙁 A larger and more powerful 3D printer extruder head that will allow additional sizes and types of unique plastic filament to be printed Our project is to develop a new plastic extruder that can…
Unfortunately, this piece of work doesn’t seem open source. Well, said that, the scans on Sketchfab loo pretty good: An affordable, high-resolution, full color and texture 3D Scanner that can automatically create 3D models of every day objects. Bringing high quality 3D scanning to everyone We created the Robocular 3D scanner for people who, like…
