It seems as thought there are newer cheaper kits coming on the market daily. New Matter's MOD-t 3D printer almost makes it pointless to buy a kit, when you can buy an assembled printer for $250. ...
My son really wants a 3D printer in his school. He's used mine and he thinks that the technology is something that would be great for his fellow students. He wanted me to post here and ask what the...
Wow, this seems amazing. I wonder why it's no longer on indiegogo though.... Was it some sort of joke?
I would think this would be feasible. There are plastics that harden in the air. If they...
Stay away at all costs. Looks like MakiBox may be going under. See video from founder

What is the best wood-like filament out there today? I've seen several mentioned over the course of the past few months, but haven't seen any prints in person. Can anyone make any suggestions?
Just noticed this (someone pointed it out on reddit), that thingiverse is censoring images that point people to use other thingiverse-like services. This has become quite rampant lately after all...
When building a 3D printer, does anyone have any suggestions on using a Ramps board or a Melzi board? What are the benefits to each? It seems as though Ramps are used the majority of the time, but...
No kidding. No one will pay $1000 for an FDM 3D printer anymore. These bigger companies better come up with something or they will end up being replaced.
Here is an entire assembly line setup for those that wish to start making their own filament (http://robotdigg.com/product/111/3D-Printer-Filament-Production-Line) The price? $16,800. I assume...
This looks great. It looks as though it is printed in porcelin. The vapor bath turned out nicely. What steps do you use for your vapor baths?
1mm works well on PLA for me quite a bit. I don't usually print with ABS. Would that work too? I have had to scrap prints in the past due to bad judgement on wall thickness, but now I think I have...
I see that it says you didn't reach your goal :( Is that true?
I'd probably get an FDM printer, an SLA printer, and then a few large 3D Systems industrial printers - you know the $500,000 ones :)
I'd open a shop and sell 3D printed merchandise.
Yes, powder is very dangerous. I've seen case studies where it has been inhaled and caused significant lung damage. On top of this, there are not even enough studies out to see really how dangerous...
Not sure if this is the correct thread to post in, but I just learned that the Orlando Public Library now has a Fab Lab with 3D printers in it as well. I'm planning on visiting sometime next month. ...
I've actually had this happen to be before too. Luckily I was only in the other room, and I caught it before it caused any major problems.
Can anyone tell me how I could load .bfb files into Repetier? Is there a way I can convert them or get repetier to recognize and load them? I'm having the hardest time getting these files from...
Sketchfab has another pretty cool contest going on. This one they are asking that you design/paint an easter egg in 3D, and the winners will win a 3D printed out version of that easter egg, courtesy...
Does anyone know if it is possible to bond PLA to ABS? If so, what is the best way to go about doing this. It may seem like a silly question, but I really need a way to do this with a couple of my...
Do you guys plan on making and selling filament?
Very interesting project. May I ask you what level of schooling are you in? High School? College?
Can't wait to see your results.
I'm really surprised this isn't being done yet. The Military is usually 10 years a head of the curve in technology.
I don't know how feasible it will be do print when a boat is swaying in waves...
