Rather than change the home position on his Z axis, [Mikey77] used AutoDesk 123D to create 3D PCB designs. Each of his .stl files has a “spacer bar”, which sits at the bed level.

Sending it to the printer That's the entire 3D design for this project. All we need to do is select it, export it as an STL file, and send it into Cura to be sliced for printing.

Github, everyone's favorite nerdery, added STL object file support - basically a system for uploading and rendering 3D models - in April. Now, however, they've improved their service with a system ...

It's up to you whether you want a one-off file or a steady stream of them. 3D-printed action figures come in two forms. The first utilizes simple articulation, mostly hinges.

He lets the printer go through one layer of an STL file that contains his design, which polymerizes a thin layer of plastic onto the copper.

Some of the below 3D printers allow users to send STL files over the cloud or their home network connection. You will still need to put said STL file into a compatible slicer to turn it into a ...

The 3D Systems Cube 3 is a great little machine for those wanting to make their own little 3D objects. Here's CNET's full review.

What I learned from my first few months with a Bambu Lab A1 3D printer, part 1 One neophyte's first steps into the wide world of 3D printing.

AIO Robotics's Zeus 3D printer/scanner is a step up from budget consumer-grade models. Around this time last year I reviewed XYZprinting's da Vinci Jr budget 3D printer, but even at AU$600 it's a ...
