A compact handheld game console based on the ESP32 for #freecadFriday !
I reused a small lithium battery salvaged from a disposable e-cigarette to power this fun little gaming handheld.
If you like to build it:

The buttons from my Opel keyfob fell off, so I made a fix, perfect for this #FreeCADFriday. Print the body in TPU, the inserts in PLA, place the inserts inside the body, glue it to the keyfob and you don't need to buy a duplicate anymore 👍. https://www.printables.com/model/1721855-opel-keyfob-buttons-fix

BLT metal 3D printing has been used to produce the hinge system for OPPO’s Find N5 and N6 foldable smartphones. The 3D printed hinge comprises wing plates on both sides that bear the majority of the folding stresses, marking a significant innovation in consumer electronics manufacturing. https://www.tctmagazine.com/application-spotlight-blt-metal-3d-printing-technology-enhance-oppo-foldable-smartphone-hinge-system/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Industrial

For this #FreeCADFriday I have improved my filament dry box.
The box was already a trusty companion for 3D-printing needs, keeping filament in an air-tight environment even during printing.
Why did I need to change a perfect model you ask? Two reasons:
1. I added a flexible anti-slip TPU foot to decouple it from the surface it stands on.
2. I made it stackable by adding indentations that match the profile of the container.

The opinion piece argues water washable resin is well-intentioned but fundamentally flawed. While easier to wash, it produces weaker parts and creates confusion about proper disposal methods. Standard resin with IPA washing remains the better choice for most users. https://www.fabbaloo.com/news/water-washable-resin-should-die #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Materials

#MrBamboo läuft mal wieder. Diesmal gibt es eine personalisierte Seifenschale.
Erstaunlich, wie schnell das inzwischen in @freecad funktioniert:
- STL-Datei importieren
- Netz in Festkörper umwandeln
- Festkörper in Solid umwandeln
- Text im Draft-Modul erstellen
- Text extrudieren
- Cut von Solid und Text erzeugen.
- Text wieder aktivieren
- Beides auswählen und als STEP exportieren -
At RIT, a PhD candidate is advancing reconstructive surgery with 3D printed zinc implants. The absorbable metal provides temporary mechanical support during bone healing, then degrades naturally as new tissue grows, avoiding the need for removal operations. https://3dprint.com/325991/3d-printing-news-briefs-5-14-2026/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Bioprinting

AI CAD tools for 3D printing are maturing into four categories: co-pilots inside existing CAD software, workflow automation tools, checkers that spot geometry errors, and text-to-STL generators. The text-to-STL tools could democratise 3D printing for millions by letting anyone create simple models from prompts. https://3dprint.com/325751/ai-cad-tools-for-3d-printing-an-overview/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Software
