CAD file ownership has always been a tricky issue within the 3D printing community. On the one hand, we are big supporters of open source file sharing through Thingiverse and other platforms – it’s how so many of us earned our 3D printing chops in the first place. While its benefits are obvious, open source…
A team of designers from Taiwan has created the world’s first open-source 3D printed electric ukulele. Designed for consumer 3D printers, the unusually shaped Lightning Uke comes with a full-size fretboard, regular strings and tuners, and a custom-made amplifier, pick-up, and speaker. Inspired by a miniature Japanese electric guitar with a built-in amplifier and speaker,…

So I’ve been really happy to hear about the X-Files reboot, and here i’m double happy to write about it and 3d printing. Laurent Bernadac played the main theme with a…
TwinTeeth multi-purpose PCB manufacturing machine was released at the beginning of 2015 by the two Spanish brothers behind open source developers Diyouware. While the multi-headed making machine was already very impressive at the time, they are now back for more with the metalized version of their multi-tool: the TwinTeeth Plus. This multi-purpose 3D printer is…
“We are born with all the nerve cells we’ll ever have, and damaged nerves don’t heal very well.” How many of you have heard this statement? That’s not true anymore! On one side, latest studies on neuroplasticity are showing us that the brain is continuously growing and establishing connection for the entire life. From the…
