This Front Panel Makes Its Own Clean-Edged Drill Guides
We haven’t seen an instrument panel quite like [bluesyann]’s, which was made by curing UV resin directly onto plywood with the help of a 3D printer and a bit of software work. The resul…
Multicolor 5-Axis 3D Printing
Usually, when we see non-planar 3D printers, they’re rather rudimentary prototypes, intended more as development frames than as workhorse machines. [multipoleguy]’s Archer five-axis printer, on the…

Use A Gap-Cap To Embed Hardware In Your Next 3D Print
Embedding fasteners or other hardware into 3D prints is a useful technique, but it can bring challenges when applied to large or non-flat objects. The solution? Use a gap-cap. The gap-cap technique…
3D Print Becomes Cast Iron Wrench Via Microwave
Consumer-grade 3D printing is good for prototyping and making relatively soft plastic stuff. If you wanna make tough things, though, it’s really hard to beat the strength of metal. [Shake the…
Testing Expensive Graphene-Reinforced Nylon Filament
Although usually nylon (generally PA6) filament is pretty cheap, there are some more exotic variants out there, such as the PA12-based Lyten 3D graphene filament that comes in at a cool $150 for a …
