DEFCAD. A CrackDown on 3D printable Guns: Security or Censorship?
Byoeadmin May 10, 2013May 10, 2013

I was very impressed in the last days of the much talk that has been done around the Liberator, the first 3D printable gun, available for download on Defcad. [youtube id=”drPz6n6UXQY” width=”620″ height=”360″] The amateur, DIY guns, are not new, it is not the 3D printing today to make a difference: even if the team…

Finally a working 3D printed stepper motor
Byoeadmin April 24, 2013April 24, 2013

Most 3D printers use stepper motors to control the movement of the extruder head. If you could actually print those motors it would be one more big step toward self-replicating hardware. Now obviously [Chris Hawkins’] working 3d printed stepper motor wasn’t built 100% through 3D printing, but the majority of the parts were. All that he…
