Drone racing is a fun, new and FAST sport.  Drones whip through urban environments like football stadiums at lightning speeds.  I’d imagine in practice and competition, just like car racing, some wrecks are inevitable.  Well, if you want to take the sport up maybe 3D printing can help.  Continue reading →

Here’s a great application of 3D printing for Christmas, a cookie cutter! Got this great link from Martin Lersch. You can check out Martin’s blog for all the info including downloading the file from Thingverse. Go ahead and make some cookies for Santa!

Today, September 22nd, is National Voter Registration Day! As we’re a 3D printing site and not a political site we wanted to be sure to have a 3D printing angle. We created this nifty little 3D file that is great as a keychain, ornament or earrings. You can download the STL file here!

My son is loves his toy trains, mostly used with his Thomas the Train toys. He has so many types of track, some wood and some plastic, but of the same “gauge” or width. However, there are many different types of connectors in the different iterations of track so you can’t link them together. TrainLab

Great video from Mickey Views that talks about the company taking advantage of empty daytime parks to perhaps do some aerial 3D scanning.  What will this info be used for?  Continue reading →

The shuttle fascinated me as a child and I even had a giant mural of it in my room.  My inner child is giddy as you can now print your own 100% accurate space shuttle!  The Smithsonian Air and Space Museum has scanned their shuttle Continue reading →

Have you ever heard of a tardigrade or “water bear” before?  These are some of the most resilient creatures on earth and nearly immortal.  According to National Geographic:

“Tardigrades can go up to 30 years without food or water. They can also live at temperatures as cold as absolute zero or above boiling, at pressures six times that of the ocean’s deepest trenches, and in the vacuum of space.”

This Easter isn’t broken, it’s just different. Enjoy this special weekend!

I saw the still in this video and was in awe.  My first thought was, “that’s Tigris at Busch Gardens Tampa!”  So after watching the video the answer was, well sort of.  It is indeed a Sky Rocket II by Premier Rides (which Tigris is as discussed previously), Continue reading →

As a subscriber to MIT Technology Review I was thrilled to see this article by Erin Winick about how she 3D printed her entire wedding.  I thought it was cool years ago when a buddy designed and printed his wife’s ring, but Erin took things to another level.  Continue reading →
