Researchers at Penn State University have developed a 3D printed hydrogel implant that could treat high blood pressure without medication. The CaroFlex device stimulates baroreceptors in the carotid sinus to regulate blood pressure. In animal tests, four of five electrical frequencies reduced blood pressure by over 15%, with no tissue damage after two weeks. https://www.3dnatives.com/en/3d-printed-hydrogel-implant-hypertension-18052026/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #MedicalTech

Today we started solving the long delayed problem of filament chaos by building the first of at least three filament carts that fits exactly in that spot. Inspiration was taken from archives and pharmacy furniture. It’s mostly woodworking, but the handle had to be 3D printed.

KC-135E 1:500 - SLA 2

The KC-135E, a legacy tanker variant of the Stratotanker family, primarily featured the TF33-PW-102 turbofan engines which provided increased thrust compared to the original J57 turbojets, enhancing its capability for aerial refueling operations. This model retained the flying boom system and served as a vital force multiplier before its eventual retirement, leveraging its robust airframe design for decades of service. Here’s what each label means: - FDM: Printed on an FDM machine. These versions have lower detail, no panel lines, no engine blades, and use thicker walls. - SLA 1: Printed on an SLA machine. These include antennas, include engine blades, have thinner walls, but still do not have panel lines. - SLA 2: Same as SLA 1, but with added panel lines for higher surface detail.
