Keystones: 3D printed joinery - Studio Minale Maeda

I love these simple 3D printed forms. From a distance they provide a satisfying sense of organicity to the minimal styling of this table, almost like webbing.

Crowdfunding 3D printed bagpipes

To create a new instrument using 3D printing, capable of playing two full octaves without altering the basic scale familiar to pipers.

*****3rd April - New Awesome Project Video on the way - check back here on Monday! Shot on location at a Scottish Castle, and featuring lots of high quality music played on the 3D printed pipes, and a lot less blethering!*****

*****Hey RepRappers / Ultimakers / Makerbotters (is that a word?) - don't miss the exclusive, custom designed musical instrument STLs available here, optimised for home printers like yours, and offered at very reasonable pledge rates. The files include a penny whistle (£1), chanter (£5), set of Smallpipes (£10), and a full set of Highland Bagpipe drones (at £20, a proper 3D printing challenge). You'd be daft to miss these! Once this project is down, they're gone!*******

I'm using 3D printing to extend the musical range of the Scottish Smallpipes. The Scottish Smallpipes are a mellow, indoor kind of bagpipe.

I'm not a pipe maker. Rather I'm a piper, who through a longstanding fondness for Smallpipes, and a strong desire to have a greater range of notes, has spent the last four years intensively studying the acoustics of the pipes, and designing & producing prototype instruments.

Specifically, I'm working on a design for a chanter (melody pipe) for the Scottish Smallpipes, that will play around two octaves, without the use of keys. The conventional range of the instrument is currently nine notes.

 It's not my first intention to make this instrument for sale, although initially I will offer 3D prints for sale to anyone who would like one. Ultimately I would like to cooperate with pipemakers to make the instrument available to the piping and musical community more generally, I've already had preliminary conversations with pipe makers, about translating the design 'into wood'.

Kickstarter project: Franklin

A lonely man creates a friend with the help of a 3D printer.

An old story told anew.

The basic premise of Franklin was to try to create a modern monster fantasy with a comedic twist. Franklin, a loner who comes home to find his 3D printer kit has arrived, tries to do the impossible, print a person. 

About Air Capital Productions

The team behind Franklin include writer/director Anthony Bradley, actor/producer Naythan Smith, director of photography/producer Jake Fisher, and producer Amy Swenson. All of which have worked on 5 successful short films together that have screen at several film festivals including their hometown 2013 Tallgrass Film Festival. 

Our team and list of projects grow every day, as do we and the quality of our work.

The Snap 3D Printer:

We wanted to design the best 3D printer that will be fast to assemble and to print high quality parts. 

The assembling process doesn't required technical background. That will open the door to many users still afraid to build their own printer or who don't want to deal with complex design (cutting parts, electronics, soldering).

The printer's frame is extremely strong and doesn't required the use of fasteners thanks to our one year design innovation and the quality of the material. Indeed, from our first prototype in wood to our final product in plastic, the printer is just one of the best design and most appealing 3D printer with choice of the frame's color. 

One of our dream is to have the printer as a platform for innovations in 3D printing. This is why we've chosen the modular design. Advanced users, Makers, product designers will be able to customize their printer. One example is the Extruder's platform that can be easily removed and replaced with a different Extruder for liquid printing or dispensing (printing chocolate, sugar or food). The print bed is also modular for this purpose. They will be able to add a second Extruder for experimental dual printing. Our electronics will support this option too.

Features

- No Soldering, Electronics & Wires snap together.

-The build volume is big: 8x8x8 inches

-ABS, PLA, Nylon 3 mm filament 

-100 micron layers resolution

-Stand alone with microSD input. 

-LCD panel with control interface: No need to use your computer, laptop to control the printer, pause and reset buttons, navigation buttons,

-The Best heated bed for ABS: Helios bed

-LDE light

-Easy and fast to assemble

-Software: Repetier, Pronterface or slic3r

A final push to bring the Solidator DLP Desktop 3D Printer over the line!

The fastest Desktop 3D Printer on the planet prints 1.5 Billion Voxels in 5.5 hours on a massive 11.8 liter build volume (280x210x200)

We started the Solidator project after asking ourselves two questions:

Why do high quality 3D printers print so slowly?

Why is the build volume on 3D printers generally so small?

Three years later, we're excited to unveil the results of that quest: Solidator - our DLP based 3D Desktop Printer.

Crowdfunding RepRap Open Source 3D Printer

Desktop 3D printers have been in market for many years, mostly started from RepRap Project. The main goal for RepRap designs is to use mostly plastic and some other affordable materials, which results such a cheap price. all plastic components can be printed by the printer itself, with that you can build another printer easily, that's where the name Replicating Rapid Prototyper comes from.

There are many versions of RepRap 3D printer in the market, we are going to introduce two of the best and most affordable, high-precision 3D Printers.

They are Mix G1 Plus and Prusa i3 Plus.
