I will work on a project soon and I need to 3D print (for the first time) a chassis. I did a quick Google search and there are a lot of providers offering 3D printing services but none of them seem Cost-Effective (1 unit) provider. Do...
Would it be possible, and if so, feasible in any way to print using not light, but sound, or perhaps rf... or other parts of the spectrum for solidifying liquid resin? Has this been tried before? ...thoughts?

I'm working on a ball and socket "gooseneck" project that is 3d printable. The novel feature is a locking nut on each joint that vastly improves the pullout strength of the joint.https://hackaday.io/project/5739-locking-ball-and-socket-gooseneck-systemWorks great...
I am looking for some one who might be able to help. I want to use a stepper motor and hook it up to the spot on my board for an extra extruder. I need to have a limit switch for this motor and the ability to drive it with some standard gcode. This is...
Hope to see you at the Midwest RepRap Festival (MRRF) is this weekend in Goshen, Indiana! "What is MRRF? It’s the worlds largest celebration of open source 3D printing with over 1,000 people from around the globe attending in 2017. If you are a hobbyists,...
Does anyone know, what is the maximum temperature that plastic packages of ICs can withstand? Ignoring the die. I tried heating it to 350 deg.C for a few minutes. It smells, but without noticeable degradation.I have machined a part for 3d printer extruder...

Hi, for my next project (boring perhaps - replica of old computer) I would like to make a custom frame. The picture below kind of defines my question: if I would plan to make 250 units of the white plastic frame in the picture, what technology should...

Have you used 3D printing, electronics, or other maker tech to visualize a math concept yourself, to create manipulatives for your students to play with in the classroom, or to use in teaching some other way? If so, please share your physical object...
Edit : Thanks for all those who provided valuable references and comments, I realized that sensor-less is not a good idea for my application, as it is low speed and as sensors are becoming more available with reasonable integration effort.____________________________________________________________________Hi...
Hi, I need to design a custom case for my project. I have 3D step files for an off-the-shelf enclosure as well as for my PCB board with all the components on it (LCD, USB, pushbuttons). What I need is to make a drawing of the case with all...
I'm curious if anyone's made attempts at using the Valve Lighthouse base stations for 3d scanning. They provide reliable IR sweeps possibly similar enough to Time of Flight sensors. Perhaps using a thermal & color camera, an scan can be captured...
