Happy to say that we just purchased a new Makergear M2. Should be here in about three weeks. The workmanship and quality of this machine is amazing. Looks like a piece of lab equipment. It’s faster, precise, quiet, heated build platform and has a larger print volume just to name a few.

Really looking forward to getting this jewel setup and printing. It’s going to be a long three weeks…

Good article over at Simplify3D (my slicing software of choice).

Ken Carrier recently completed a design for a new small engine that increases efficiency while still being “green” and inexpensive (currently patent-pending).

Second in the Margo series. Another great model from Jose Alves da Silva.

Fun little project this weekend. Margo is a new animated feature film being produced by Bold Machines and every week they release a model of one of the characters for 3D printing. This one was 29 separate parts.  

Fun little printing project. Planetary gear set and functions like a cross between a needle bearing and a thrust bearing. Printed in a single piece and comes off the print bed functional.
