It allows you to understand the inner workings of 3D printing technology and develop your skills in electronics and programming. The applications of a DIY 3D printer are vast.

It's worth pointing out that the Arduino Materia 101 is very similar to Sharebot's own Kiwi-3D printer, in terms of specifications and looks (it's even offered as a DIY kit).

The kit includes an Arduino Mega, a RAMPS 1.4 board, stepper motors, and other essential parts. By following the tutorial, you can assemble the robot and program it to perform various tasks.

Arduino, the company best known for building and shipping the absurd number of microcontrollers that power many a DIY electronics project, is about to enter the 3D printing market.

In this very cheap and quick project, I built a convincing DIY animatronic eye mechanism using CAD software, a 3D printer and Arduino. #AnimatronicEye #DIYAnimatronics #3DPrintedProject # ...

Home 3D printers can cost anywhere from a few hundred dollars to thousands. Even expensive models can be frustrating, so the Materia 101's price could be a fair one if it works reliably. Arduino's ...

The idea of a 3D printer is awesome, but if I actually bought one I can see myself just printing some coasters or whatever, saying "wow, that was cool" and then the thing begins a hearty career in ...
