There's definite layering in that T-rex print. Is this a Carbon print or the same resin printed on a different machine?

Quote: "Once the plastic hits the glass, however, there is no further bonding."

It's not once it hits the glass, it's once the temperature of the plastic hits (on the way down) the glass...

Very beautiful designs. I think I'll have to wait for the Chinese knock-off though.

This is good news not only for the magnificent toucan. It also means that a crowd funding campaign that I backed actually delivered (unlike iBox Nano)!

Firstly, Paul never met Jesus (who was really called Joshua, but Paul re-branded him to give him a Greek name which was more acceptable to the Roman), so his views on long hair on men could have been...

Surely not.

Now the claim by certain Republicans that Pope Francis is the antichrist (as foretold in Revelations), due to his compassion for the poor, and his acceptance of global warming as being...

“This is what I’m afraid of because the Internet destroyed the music industry and now, this is what we’re afraid of right now with the textile industry,” West remarked.

This is cheaper than eSun's cleaner filament, which is ~$10 for 100g (instead of for 135g). I use the eSun one and it works very well. I wonder if they are the same material.

It's lithophane, not lithopane.

Phane derives from the Greek "phainein" meaning "to cause to appear", according to the Wikipedia page on the subject:

Direct Metal Deposition (DMD) requires machining to get a good finish. It's basically CNC welding and creates an very rough surface finish unless post-machining is used to clean it up.

This part...

It would be much better as a lithophane.

I looked in to doing something like this, but then I found out about Sorbothane bumpers. I used four of these self-adhesive feet on my Printrbot Metal Plus (which is in an enclosure on a table), and...

That's a really nasty filament tangle. I hope it doesn't ship pre-tangled!

As an inventor (but not as a politician) Chuck Hull's contribution is far greater than Benjamin Franklin's. Franklin invented the lightning rod and bifocal spectacles. While not insignificant...

The diagram shows that their light source wavelength is above 400nm (to about 460nm by the looks of it). That's not UV light. That's short blue. UV is below 400nm.

Either the diagram is wrong, or...

I've had my dual-extruder Metal Plus since January. I ordered it on the day they became available.

It's working well for me, but my conclusion is that two extruders square the difficulty, and I...

It is possibly inspired by this Leatherman bracelet/watch strap.

200°C max temp is a little low. That's fine for PLA (if it really reaches 200°C), but not for higher-temp materials.

I backed the Doodler 2.0 3D pen, in part to use it as a PLA glue gun to join separately-printed parts, but also for the smoothing tool nozzle that I plan to use for exactly what this Retouch3D tool...

I'm not going to cast glass, but this does inspire me to do something with casting. Thanks for the inspiration.

Argh! Edison wasn't the "first to bring the light bulb in to reality". Swan in the UK had a commercial long life light bulb on the market a year before Edison. What's more, Edison only succeeded when...

People aren't primarily buying Pebble smart watches over the Apple Watch because of customization options. They're buying it because A) it's available now, and B) because it has a decent battery...

Pancakes in the UK aren't eaten for breakfast. Pancake day, otherwise known as Shrove Tuesday, is when people eat pancakes in the evening. It has it's origins in a pre-Christian, pagan winter/spring...
