3d Printer Hacks |
 | Make a Laser Etching PCB CNC
We have featured quite a few DIY CNC Plotters, but when it comes to etching precision printed circuit boards, this DIYer things lasers are the way to go. RepRap (Replicating Rapid Prototypes) are open source 3d printers which can replicate their... |
 | 3D Printer for your Minecraft Designs
If you're one of the millions of Minecraft players out there, this is for you. Two students at MIT Media Lab have created a program that enables players to print 3D models of objects they create in the game. Items to be printed are designated by... |
 | Massive RepRap DIY 3D Printer
We've seen plenty of 3D printers in the past, but none this big. This homemade 3D printer printed out a part that is 15"x15"x10." It's a tad on the slow side though: it accomplished the print job above in a little less than 2 days.
Based on... |
 | Incredible 3D Printing With Sunlight and Sand
We've shown you the power of the sun before, and here's another superb example. This 3D printing project demonstrates what you can do in the desert with just two materials: sand and sun. In the demo above, sunlight and sand are used to build... |
 | Kinect + 3D Printer = DIY Souvenirs
With the combination of a Kinect and a CNC 3D printer, this installation allows tourists to create a souvenir of themselves. The person strikes a pose on the pedestal, and the image is converted into numerical code which is then sent to the 3D... |
 | Improved High Resolution 3D Printer
Previously, we showed you a 3d printer which we thought was pretty fantastic. Now, however, the creator has released a new and improved model with an even higher level of resolution (as can be seen in the pictures above). With commercial 3D... |
 | MakerBot Inspired DIY 3D Printer
By now, you're probably familiar with the low-cost 3D printer called MakerBot. Essentially, a physical version of a 3D model is constructed by consecutively forming layers of extruded plastic. This project is a DIY version of MakerBot which... |
 | DIY High Resolution 3D Printer
Even though 3D printers have become mainstream and costs have declined, most cannot create a fine level of detail when printing. For rapid prototyping, you can fabricate one yourself such as the High Resolution DLP 3D Printer. Homemade yet... |
