Can a shape pass through itself? That is to say, if one had two identical solids, would it be possible to orient one such that a hole could be cut …read more Continue reading Meet The Shape That Cannot Pass Through Itself
The header image above shows a completely unsupported 3D-printed bridge, believe it or not. You’re looking at the bottom of the print. [Make Wonderful Things] wondered whether unsightly unsupported bridges …read more Continue reading Better 3D-Printed Bridges Are Possible, With the Right Settings
The iconic X-wing ship design from Star Wars is something many a hobbyist have tried to recreate, and not always with success. While [German engineer] succeeded in re-imagining an FPV …read more Continue reading X-wing Aircraft Are Trickier Than They Look
There are many incredible open-source robotic arm projects out there, but there’s a dearth of affordable, stable, and mobile robotic platforms with arms. That’s where XLeRobot comes in. It builds …read more Continue reading Dual-Arm Mobile Bot Built on IKEA Cart Costs Hundreds, Not Thousands
[Prusa] have a number of announcements, and one of the more unusual ones is that liquid printing is coming to the Prusa XL. Specifically, printing in real, heat-resistant silicone (not …read more Continue reading 3D Printering: Liquid-Filled Filament Was Not On Our Bingo Card
Wouldn’t it be nice to 3D print an entire custom tire for small robots? It sure would, so [Angus] of [Maker’s Muse] decided to investigate whether nifty new filaments like …read more Continue reading Does 3D-Printed Foam Make Good Custom Tires?
Gaussian Splats is a term you have likely come across, probably in relation to 3D scenery. But what are they, exactly? This blog post explains precisely that in no time …read more Continue reading Learn What a Gaussian Splat Is, Then Make One
Few people know LLMs (Large Language Models) as thoroughly as [Andrej Karpathy], and luckily for us all he expresses that in useful open-source projects. His latest is nanochat, which he …read more Continue reading Nanochat Lets You Build Your Own Hackable LLM
Everything is a fuse if you run enough current through it. Or at least [JohnsonFarms.us] seems to think so, which has led him to design 3D-printed fuses made from conductive …read more Continue reading 2025 Component Abuse Challenge: Conductive Filament Makes a Meltable Fuse
The Raspberry Pi Pico is a very capable board, but it’s still a surprise to see bit-banged 100 MBit/s Fast Ethernet implemented on one. [Steve]’s Pico-100BASE-TX library allows an RP2040 …read more Continue reading Bit-banged 100 MBit/s Ethernet Transmission on Raspberry Pi Pico
