Creality has filed a patent describing a faster filament switching system for FFF 3D printers. The new design could significantly reduce the time needed when changing filaments during multi-material prints. https://www.fabbaloo.com/news/creality-patent-suggests-faster-filament-switching-for-fff-printing #3Dprint #3Dprinting #FDM

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

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

Ford and Sharrow Engineering have slashed marine propeller production time from 130 days to just two weeks using 3D sand-casting. The collaboration, brokered through Michigan Central in Detroit, adapted Sharrow's patented propeller designs for 3D-printed sand molds. Ford worked with regional foundries to scale the new casting approach. https://3dprinting.com/news/ford-and-sharrow-engineering-cut-marine-propeller-production-time-from-130-days-to-two-weeks/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Industrial

Rice husk waste could find a new use in 3D printing as researchers use biochar additive to make PLA parts slide better and wear less. The agricultural byproduct reduces friction in PLA filament, potentially extending part life. https://www.fabbaloo.com/news/rice-husk-biochar-helps-pla-slide-better-with-ml #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Materials

WoolyFil sustainable 3D printing filament uses wool-based pigments from New Zealand. Wool Source partnered with KiwiFil to develop colourants with 92-98% biobased content, replacing synthetic petroleum and coal-tar dyes that can pollute wastewater and release toxic substances. The filament comes in Green Marble and Riverstone finishes. https://3dprint.com/325904/wool-3d-printing-filament-from-new-zealand-of-course/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Materials

Today I went to @hobbyhimmel to meet @MaSeWa and to use the new #lasercutter to make a crate with customized dimensions out of fibreboard. I generated that box with @backspace's boxes.py https://boxes.hackerspace-bamberg.de/ The best tool to simply generate boxes.
While I was there I wanted to try out the new #3dprinter. So I printed a logo made of two colors.
My objektive in building those was no to loose my knowledge on using the FabLab machines.
@hobbyhimmel is really a great space to make things!

MIT CSAIL has revived a rejected 1985 invention to create the Y-zipper, a three-sided 3D-printed fastener that can switch camping gear, medical braces and robots between soft and rigid states in seconds. Using PLA or TPU plastic, the fastener bends into primitives like straight, bent, coiled or twisted shapes. Testing showed 18,000 open-close cycles durability. Pitching a tent drops from 6 minutes to 80 seconds with Y-zippers. https://3dprinting.com/news/mit-researchers-3d-print-a-three-sided-zipper-concept/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Materials

Posting a real question, but it's going to give off a "how do dragons blow out candles" vibe.
I'm helping the hubby 3d scan some objects for work. We've covered those objects/the floor with reflective dots to help the scanner keep track of itself.
Is there such a thing as "anti reflective dots" that could be incorporated into something like a temporary tattoo or face paint that protesters could use to thwart facial recognition software? Bonus points if it could "qr code"-force the software to return the image of a guy fawkes mask instead. : P#technology #facialrecognition #3dprint

MODIX has launched the MAMA-1000, a new large-format 3D printer with a 1,000 x 1,000 x 1,000 mm build volume. The system supports both filament and pellet extrusion for industrial prototyping, tooling and end-use parts. https://3dprint.com/325932/3d-printing-news-briefs-may-9-2026/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #3Dprinters

For this #FreeCADFriday I made a hose passthrough to install a handheld bidet next to the sink cabinet.
It was a fun endeavor to create the assembly. The elements are split to be placed around the hose and hold together via threads. An additional helix on the inside is custom fit onto the hose to prevent it from slipping through the grommet.

Oha!
Für medizinische Aufgaben kostet eine spezifische Maschine ~18.000$.
"It's Triggy" erschuf durch das Prinzip von "Frugal Science" ein Gerät mit identischer Funktionalität - für gerade mal ~250$!
Zitat (englisch):
"I built a 96-channel pipetting device inspired by an $18k commercial system, using 3D printing, laser cutting, and off-the-shelf parts. Total cost: about $250. This video shows the design, build, and testing process."
Genial!

19 solar years correspond to almost exactly 235 synodic lunar months or full cycles of moon phases. This so-called Metonic cycle synchronizes the solar with the lunar year, and it can be turned into a virtual online and even a physical moon phase calculator.

I am prototyping paper airplanes usinge the idea of 3D-printing directly to thin paper and then cutting the parts for assembly.
I also tried using a 3D-pen. Both ways work and the planes fly pretty well. Next up: bigger plane + supercap-motor unit.The idea is inspired by a recent video of Tom Stanton.

My first #cyberdeck, #3dprint, #raspberry Pi 5.
In theory everything fits perfectly.
In practice though, not so much... had to reroute the switch to the outside (the PETG expanded and sagged more than I expected) and as two flaps broke off (my mistake in #FreeCAD, they had 0.1mm distance from where they should have attached), had to close the case with tape instead.
But otherwise it works... -
This #FreeCADFriday I have another tool for household repairs.
This is a versatile hex wrench I used for switching several faucets.
The FreeCAD file is parameterized so you can easily adapt it to your needs. I have already prepared and uploaded a host of ready-to-print sizes.
(The aerator spanner on the photo can be found in my previous posts.)
