Amazingly creative project from Instructables: This is a project I have been working on for the past year, it prints in hot glue and made almost completely out of legos. Based roughly on the first version of the makerbot, while it does print, I would call this more of a prototype than a finished project. …
The T8 is made nightmare-inducing not only by its 3D-printed and somewhat realistic-looking skin but by the preternatural movements that mimic living eight-leggers. According to Robugtix, that’s thanks largely to the company’s “Bigfoot” inverse kinematics engine, which uses math calculations to figure out how the robot-arachnid should move. Using 26 servo motors and a wireless…
new zealander designer simon ellison has utilized multi material 3D printing methods to bring forth the idea of a new manufacturing technique into the realm of speaker drivers. with this, the additive combination-material print process results as a solid construction, allowing for complex and structurally intricate details. working together with an audio engineer, the speaker…
In case you lost the highly discussed Cortex Concept: After many centuries of splints and cumbersome plaster casts that have been the itchy and smelly bane of millions of children, adults and the aged alike, the world over, we at last bring fracture support into the 21st century.

An awesome guy from France started this fantastic project: The OpenReflex is an Open-Source analog camera with a mirror viewfinder and an awesome finger activated mechanic shutter (running ~ 1/60°s). What’s more, it is compatible with any photographic lens. All the pieces are easily printable on any recent RepRap-like ABS 3D-printer without using support material!…
Here’s a simple but essential tool for monitoring the 3Drag and print without the need of a connected computer: all this thanks to a cursor, an SD card slot and an LCD display. Obviously we applied this to our interpretation of the Rep Rap universe (the 3Drag) but you can really easily tweak and adapt…
