This part sees a lot of action. I would've preferred PA here, but I still struggle with getting the quality I want of it, so this prototype was made of ASA. I did reinforce it from several spots to have as few 90 degree angles as possible in the parts where it flexes from ball hits.

Here's the PCBs back in place and the whole thing assembled.

I had bit of a skipped heartbeat moment, when one of the tiny C-clips decided to eject itself with quite a force. I could hear it hit my computer screen, keyboard and then land somewhere nearby. This time I could find it just after couple of minutes of searching. I need to source those from somewhere.

Eplus3D and Hankook are pushing metal 3D printing into tyre production. The South Korean tyre giant is using Eplus3D's EP-M300 laser powder bed fusion system to manufacture tyre sipes - the patterned slits in tyre surfaces that expand on contact with the road to improve grip. The partnership has already produced 100,000 components since September 2025. https://3dprint.com/325157/eplus3d-hankook-precision-works-work-on-tire-sipes/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #IndustrialAM

One of the hidden gems in 3D printing is tire production. Several companies, most notably Michelin, have used 3D printing extensively for tire molds and other parts of tire production...

Our experimental pattern generator program can now create automatic infills! Yay!

It also does a decent job on hand-drawn sketches (see pic 2). Still working on concave shapes and internal holes...

For now, only zigzag and parallel infill lines are possible. More exotic patterns will follow soon. 🙂

So, I’m about to buy a snapmaker u1. And I wonder: how do you tell the slicer which part is which extruder?

Researchers have embedded working strain sensors directly inside titanium parts made using LPBF (Laser Powder Bed Fusion), moving closer to self-monitoring metal components for aerospace applications. The breakthrough could enable real-time structural health monitoring in 3D printed metal parts. https://www.fabbaloo.com/news/researchers-embed-working-strain-sensors-in-lpbf-titanium #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Aerospace

Researchers Embed Working Strain Sensors In LPBF Titanium « Fabbaloo

Researchers have embedded working multilayer strain sensors inside LPBF titanium, suggesting that self-monitoring metal parts are getting closer.
