PFAS 'forever chemicals' in water supplies are driving litigation and infrastructure upgrades. 3D printing enables custom filtration membranes that traditional methods cannot match. The opportunity for manufacturers is substantial. https://www.fabbaloo.com/news/from-courtroom-to-clean-water-the-pfas-crisis-creating-new-opportunities-for-3d-printing #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Materials

From Courtroom to Clean Water: The PFAS Crisis Creating New Opportunities for 3D Printing « Fabbaloo

Charles R. Goulding and Preeti Sulibhavi explore how landmark PFAS litigation, municipal filtration projects, and emerging 3D printed water treatment technologies are reshaping the global fight against “forever chemicals.”

@freecad yet another improvement of the dry box project:

One axle per wheel is now detachable, making it easier to install the wheels.

The axles are pulled into the sides by screws, locking them into place.

I encountered bad filament that was a lot more brittle than before. It was impossible to install the wheels without breaking the sides.
With the detachable axles, it is still necessary to bend the sides a little, but to a much smaller extend.

University of Arkansas researchers have tested metal 3D printing in a Mars-like atmosphere of carbon dioxide, finding it performs significantly better than ordinary air. The study suggests future Mars settlers could use local gases instead of importing expensive argon from Earth.

University of Arkansas Researchers Test Metal 3D Printing in a Mars-Like Atmosphere - 3DPrint.com | Additive Manufacturing Business

If humans eventually establish a long-term presence on Mars, they will face a major manufacturing challenge almost immediately. Tools will break. Parts will wear out. Equipment will need repairs. But...

It's another #FreeCADFriday and I share another printable design created with @freecad!

I made magnetic tags to label the printer configuration. This is an easy way to prevent material or nozzle size mixups.
I place them where they are visible through the camera so that they can be seen via #OctoPrint.
