I was browsing around the internet this morning and I came across this guy that said he had to tape his print down to the plate mid print because it kept popping up. Looks to me like he should have...
Quick questions guys and gals. Which extruder gear do you use when 3D printing with Nylon? Gonna try it for the first time next week.
Very interesting interview with Bre Pettis by Hardwired. It's 35 minutes long but definitely worth the watch.

I'm also at around 450-500 like Rainday. Those hours add up. I've had several 17+ hour prints lately.
This is a really great blog post which shows an entire tear down of the Gen 5 Replicators.

If we can see more and more sub $300 printers, there is no reason why anyone couldn't afford to have one in their homes. M3D is certainly helping increase the number of 3d printers in homes with...
This changes everything. This is what could lead to 3D printable electronics like smartphones, tv remotes, and anything you can imagine!
I've used a Form1 quite a bit, and love it. It's a bit too pricey for me to buy, but I will use it whenever I get the chance. My wife's work has a couple of them and they let me use it from time to...
I usually use 14 gauge on mine. Just find that it works well, so why change?
Very nice. Be sure to post the Thingiverse link when they are uploaded.
This is the first time I've heard about Ford utilizing 3D printing in building prototypes for cars and trucks. This video shows exactly how they are doing it. I love how 3D printing is starting to...
You may also want to check out this 3D Scanner that is based on FabScan Open Source. Seems pretty cool.
...
Exactly my thoughts. I guess we will see for sure in the next few years.
Nice. Any idea what crowdfunding platform you will be using yet?
I just found this, and it's pretty cool. It shows all kinds of stats concerning 3D printing patents, both currently and throughout the years. I find it fascinating how many more patents have been...
Never heard of the darwin reprap before. Are you sure these exist?
I don't have an iphone, but what is the actual stethoscope part of this covering. Is that the speaker or the MIC? I didnt' know there was a microphone on the back of the iPhone.
I browse around Thingiverse quite a bit, and I love to look at all the different designs. However, there are so many times where I see people that have made scans of things using a digitizer, and I...
What's the most extruders that anyone has jammed into a RepRap? I'm now strongly considering building one. Is it possible to build a monster of a printer with a ton of Extruders? I'm very...
3D Printing definitely made it's mark at CES. I most people that attend shows like that are already quite aware of 3D Printing. However, I don't think most of them really knew how it worked. Now...
Just saw this today.

GermanRepRap.com is now selling a Food grade PP plastic filament. I had no idea that traditional filament...
Davo, what type of reception did your printer end up receiving at CES? Did Martha Steward check you guys out? I saw she was looking at a bunch of 3D Printers at the show.
Jeff, be sure to post what you think of them after your visit. I'm highly considering getting one of these. Photos/videos would be awesome if you can get any!
Regardless, both printers will need upgrading, or replacing eventually. With the RepRap, you have to be more on top of things though.
