One of the continuing struggles with FDM printing is making sure that parts that should fit together actually do. While adding significant tolerance between parts is an option, often you want to have ...

[Slant 3D] knows a lot about optimizing 3D prints so that they can be cranked out reliably with minimal need for post-processing, and in this short video he uses a cube as a simple example of how a ...

Researchers created a system that enables makers to incorporate sensors directly into rotational mechanisms with only one pass in a 3D printer. This gives rotational mechanisms like gearboxes the ...

That's why scientists have devised a method of 3D-printing wireless sensors right into the things. Named MechSense, the system was developed at MIT by a team led by mechanical engineering graduate ...

In brief: 3D printers aren't always designed with portability in mind, but there's a use case for makers and tinkerers who are often on the move. The open-source Lemontron aims to fill that void by ...
