Traditionally, 3D printer control boards have used simplistic 8-bit microcontrollers to command the stepper drivers and ultimately move the machine where it needs to go. Newer boards have switched ...
If there were two technological developments representative of the creative future of design and engineering, they'd be the 3D printer and the Raspberry Pi. The former allows you to create just about ...
Octoprint is the go-to 3D printer controller for many enthusiasts for a good reason. This open-source web interface communicated with OctoPi software to give 3D printers smart features without needing ...
Date notwithstanding, it’s your lucky day as Elliot and Dan get together to review the best hacks of the week. For some reason, film photography was much on our writers’ minds this week, as we talked ...
A new 3D printer has been launched by Kickstarter this month and already raised over $150,000 thanks to over 500 backers, with still 27 days remaining on its campaign. The unique 3D printer is ...
A lot of raw materials and energy are used to produce a printer. The longer the device is in use, the better in terms of sustainability. With a Raspberry Pi, you can indirectly make older printers ...
Single-board computers (SBCs) are fun. If you're not familiar with the concept, single-board computers are exactly what it says on the tin: a whole system on a single board, usually comprising an SoC, ...
The Raspberry Pi Pico is probably a dream come true for those who just love to tinker around and discover as well as create new things. Emulating a particular computer, hardware, or piece of ...
Fractal Design's North mid-tower computer case is still relatively new, but its minimal design mix with stylish wood paneling has made it an instant classic among builders. The Fractal Design North ...
In context: 3D printing is slowly becoming mainstream, having moved beyond functional prototyping, rapid tooling, trinkets, and toys. We have already seen people use 3D printers to create fashion ...
If you are interested in building your very own Raspberry Pi Astro Pi computer system similar to that being used on the International Space Station to carry out experiments. You’ll be pleased to know ...
