Glass 3D printer

Saw this on Gizmodo: MIT’s Mediated Matter Group made a video showing off their first of its kind optically transparent glass printing process. It will soothe your soul. Called G3DP (Glass 3D Printing) and developed in collaboration with MIT’s Glass lab, the process is an additive manufacturing plat...

Re: simplify3d v3.0

i dont think they can do anything with the time. its all over the board. some people get results that are slow, some are fast and all at different rates that vary with the print. i am consistently 20-40% longer to print than what it says. A step in the right direction would be to delete the time es...

Re: Just picked up a M2

I still have the split power and have not done any soldering of the power. I don't do much ABS but run the PETG at 100C. I still have at least 4 of the v3a. At least 1 has never been used and they all worked when I took them out of service in favor of the e3d which I love. I have waffled many times...

"Print the Legend"-Movie

I saw this on netflix. It's about 3D printing history focusing on the sellers of the "cupcake" from their start through their subsequent travails, Formlabs and their kickstarter start through shipping their first printers, and the guy who put up the first .stl files for a gun. I've followed this stu...

Re: Cracked the borosilicate trying to remove pla print...

I use a cricut spatula (small arts and crafts thing) to get corners and edges started. I've been using hairspray on glass lately and it seems to works fine with a nice shiny bottom (PLA). For kids' demos I'll continue with the blue tape wiped down with rubbing ETOH (2X). I prefer the simplicity (no ...
