An amazing user of our super amazing 3Dprinter 3Drag (See it here https://oe2.open-electronics.org/3drag-3d-printer/) put togheter all the 3dprintable parts on a Thingiverse set! See > K8200/3Drag printer by xmosh – Thingiverse. (Note that K8200 is the alternatie name of 3Drag as distributed by Velleman). Be noticed that this is still a work in progress.
As you probably know if you have one, the overall printing quality of the 3Drag printer is very well suited for the creation of useful items: this time we have created a container for the autonomous printing system. This post, by the way, could really be a good inspiration and guideline not only for the…
This post follows a first one in which we presented some tips about how to tune printing (with 3Drag but also in general). Here you’ll find 5 more cool 3D prints to experiment with! Porcupine Vase This is an easy print difficulties, with reduced printing times, but it’s. It belongs to the category of…
Today the guys from openPicus published their video of them assembling the 3Drag 3D printer we just sent them in one day. It’s impressive to see the assembly from this perspective: we knew that we made a great job both with design and building choices and instructions but the feedback about the ease off assembly is really…
Can you spot that? 3Drag, was just featured on the BBC! See the video here: BBC News – Will people need a 3D printer?. 3D printing has been around for some time but now the technology is available for the same price as a top-end TV at shops. The BBC’s Technology Correspondent shows Breakfast presenter Susanna…
Our fabulous 3Drag is on THRE3D, the first, supercomplete portal for 3dprinters comparison! Our dearest is dubbed as: “A 3D printer to print objects of maximum size of 20 x 20 x 20 cm using ABS or PLA 3mm wires. Extremely fast and precise even in prints at higher speeds. Compatible with all free software…
After countless hours of playing with 3Drag (now with a lower price!!) we finally selected 10 prints that you can use to explain what you can really make with your 3D printer. 3D printing is every day more often mentioned in the press: lots of stories, ranging from printing human tissues (thus saving lives) to creating…
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…
Being really open source is no joke. Open sourcing an hardware product, usually goes through several major steps. The first one is usually verifying that all the software is really open source, Free to use and adapt and accessible. It’s very important to stress this point, there’s a big difference in freeware (and in general…
Let’s improve the 3Drag with this new board that allows to control a fan and (thanks to the ATmega2560 processor) add some code and accessory devices such as a display or an SD Card When we first released our 3D printer, we tried to use some parts that were already available and tested, in…
Someone had already imagined, someone else hoped for that, days ago, finally one of the most prominent actors of the Makers ecosystem, Makerbot, announced a commercial desktop 3D Scanner. The good news, for those concerned with the openness of such a system, is that, well before that move, developers already created it: it…
Let’s learn about hardware and software features of the open source 3D printer from Open-Electronics. Among the advantages of open source hardware and software lies the ability to know all the construction and design details and have access to all the parameters to change the device operation in details. We have all the information…
