For best results, a build sheet for a 3D printer’s print bed should be handled and stored by the edges only. To help make that easier, [Whity] created the Expandable …read more Continue reading Get a Fresh Build Plate at The Push of a Button
[Devin Coldewey] shared his experiences with some of the more unusual VR concepts on display at SIGGRAPH 2023. Some of these ideas are pretty interesting in their own right, and …read more Continue reading See Some Of The Stranger VR Ideas From SIGGRAPH
If you have a curiosity about how fancy graphics cards actually work, and why they are so well-suited to AI-type applications, then take a few minutes to read [Tim Dettmers] explain …read more Continue reading Here’s Why GPUs Are Deep Learning’s Best Friend
Here’s some fascinating work presented at SIGGRAPH 2023 of a method for radiance field rendering using a novel technique called Gaussian Splatting. What’s that mean? It means synthesizing a 3D …read more Continue reading High Quality 3D Scene Generation from 2D Source, In Realtime
Thermoforming — which includes vacuum-forming — has its place in a well-rounded workshop, and Mayku (makers of desktop thermoforming machines) have a short list of tips for getting the best …read more Continue reading Make Better 3D Printed Molds, For Thermoforming Plastics
Sometimes it’s the little touches and details that make a project. That’s certainly the case with [Franklinstein]’s Super Nintendo (SNES) Cartridge Hard Drive. It might only be an enclosure for a …read more Continue reading Super NES Cartridge Pulls a Sneaky, Plays Minecraft
If you’re interested in using Large Language Models (LLM) in a project, but aren’t plugged directly into the fast-developing world of artificial intelligence (AI), knowing what tool or software to …read more Continue reading A Hacker-Friendly Software Package For Your Next AI Project
Belts on a 3D printer should be tight enough, but not too tight. That can be an iffy thing to get right for someone who lacks familiarity with CNC platforms. …read more Continue reading Checking Belt Tension Gets Easier For (Some) Prusa 3D Printers
It used to be that memory and storage space were so precious and so limited of a resource that handling nontrivial amounts of text was a serious problem. Text compression …read more Continue reading Text Compression Gets Weirdly Efficient With LLMs
Sometimes you find something that looks really cool but doesn’t work, but that’s an opportunity to give it a new life. That was the case when [Davis DeWitt] got his …read more Continue reading Turning Soviet Electronics into a Nixie Tube Clock
