Research and Development in Self-Replicating Open-Source 3D Printing
Our Fisher kits have had a revamp and are now shipped with a MasterSpool and MasterSpool refill of PLA. We have modified the Fisher spool-holder spigot design and the side-panel DXF files to hold Masterspools. We have rearranged some of
In 2018 we posted about our aluminium foundry and how we would like to use it to cast aluminium. We were working on a number of projects so it is not until now that we have now printed a model and
This is a design for a 3D printer filament merging Y for multiple-material RepRaps. The design is based on a wonderfully simple idea from Martin Zeman. It is easy to print, to construct, and to put together. In operation it works very
Did you know that we can 3D print your models for you? As you may have heard 3D Hubs is no longer offering the services of small businesses, like us, to its customers. However we are still accepting orders directly.
We have recently taken delivery of 750g reels of Elefilament Tangy Orange and Dove Grey 1.75mm PLA. Following on from our request back at the beginning of the year (slight delay caused by a broken ankle…) we are now stocking Elefilament
3D Printing Filament Suppliers – we are looking for a new supplier of PLA that we can sell via our webshop. We’re based in the UK. If you are interested in supplying us wholesale – please get in touch
Using electroplating we have coated a section of a 3D print in copper. To do this we cleaned up a scrap piece of copper pipe with wire wool. The tube was connected up to the positive side of the power supply
Adrian and I would like to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Here are some of our highlights from this year: Adrian’s top project Adrian has spent this year working on a number of different projects, some of
Not something 3D printed but ……. We have been working with a local primary school to create some of the materials used in their displays for Art in Religious Studies week. The children were tasked with creating a stained glass
On this day 8 years ago was the first replication of RepRap. On 29th May 2008 at 14:00 UTC Vik Olliver, eD Sells and Adrian Bowyer assembled the very first child RepRap from a parent which was made by a proprietary 3D
