We’ve seen a lot of clever re-imagining of the classic 7-segment display, and proving there is still room for something new is [Jack]’s 7-segment “DigiTag” display. This 3D printable device has …read more Continue reading Seven Segments, But Not As We Know Them
Metalworking might conjure images of large furnaces powered by coal, wood, or electricity, with molten metal sloshing around and visible in its crucible. But metalworking from home doesn’t need to …read more Continue reading Casting Metal With a Microwave and Vacuum Cleaner
There are plenty of resins advertised as being suitable for functional applications and parts, but which is best and for what purpose? According to [Jan Mrázek], if one is printing …read more Continue reading When 3D Printing Gears, It Pays To Use The Right Resin
[davemoneysign] designed this fascinating roller chain kinetic sculpture, which creates tumbling and unpredictable patterns and shapes as long as the handle is turned; a surprisingly organic behavior considering the simplicity …read more Continue reading 3D-Printable Sculpture Shows Off Unpredictable Order Of Chains
When one needs a spring, a 3D-printed version is maybe not one’s first choice. It might even be fair to say that printed springs are something one ends up making, …read more Continue reading Filament Cutter Uses Unusual (But Effective) 3D-Printed Spring Design
3D printing bearings with an FDM printer can be an iffy endeavor, but it doesn’t have to be that way. [Matvey Kukuy]’s Ultimate 608 Bearing with Calibration Kit is everything …read more Continue reading 3D Printable Bearings That Actually Work, No CAD Tweaking Required
