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
