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

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.IMG_2324 margo_3margo_2 margo_1

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.

Interesting thing about this print is it’s printed in one piece with working free floating arm, leg and head joints.

Running like a top. A little noisy but it’s relaxing. PLA, heated bed, 200c extruder, 65c bed, 0.20mm.
