As strong and light as carbon fiber-epoxy composites are, the same can’t always be said of carbon-fiber reinforced 3D printer filaments. Of those that do improve over stock filament, the …read more Continue reading Strengthening 3D Prints with a Carbon-Fiber Epidermis
What filament is strongest? The real answer is “it depends”, but sometimes you have a simple question and you just want a simple answer. Like, which material makes the best …read more Continue reading Do Expensive Filaments Make 3D Printed Wrenches Better?
Carbon fiber (CF) has attained somewhat of a near-mystical appeal in consumer marketing, with it being praised for being stronger than steel while simultaneously being extremely lightweight. This mostly refers …read more Continue reading Does Carbon Fiber PLA Make Sense?
Although you can purchase many types of FDM filaments containing ‘carbon fiber’ these days, they are in no way related to the carbon fiber (CF) composite materials used for rocket …read more Continue reading FibreSeeker 3: Continuous Carbon Fiber vs Chopped CF
A lot of claims have been made about the purported benefits of adding chopped carbon fiber to FDM filaments, but how many of these claims are actually true? In the …read more Continue reading Why Chopped Carbon Fiber in FDM Prints is a Contaminant
It’s 2025 and we still don’t have flying cars– but we’ve got this full-scale flying DeLorean prop from [Brian Brocken], and that’s almost as good. It’s airborne and on camera …read more Continue reading Full Scale Styrofoam DeLorean Finally Takes Flight
Since the earliest days of affordable, home 3D printers, the technology behind them has been continuously improving. From lowering costs, improving print quality, increasing size and detail, and diversifying the …read more Continue reading I Gotta Print More Cowbell
Ideally, if you are going to transmit, you want a properly-tuned resonant antenna. But, sometimes, it isn’t practical. [Ham Radio Rookie] knew about random wire antennas but didn’t want a …read more Continue reading Random Wire Antenna Uses No Wire
Rocket Lab is making innovative strides in space travel with the Neutron medium payload rocket – namely, it’s the largest composite rocket ever made. Initially, hundreds of layers and thousands of square feet of carbon fiber were laid onto a mold by ha… Continue reading World’s largest carbon fiber Neutron rocket is 3D printed
Honda has unveiled a limited edition of the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP that is restricted to 300 units globally. The flagship liter-class motorcycle features full carbon fiber bodywork and comes in an all-black stealth avatar.Continue ReadingCategory: Mo… Continue reading This all-carbon Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP is a bike you can’t have
