Its a joy to have access to a laser cutter. :) This evening att Geekubator gave us some time to learn OpenSCAD and laser cut the creation with our laser cutter. Check it out and download the parametric file as well as a .dxf version from Thingiverse.com.
If you want to understand the basics of 3D printing as well as how the Open Source software Skeinforge works, just take a look at this excellent video tutorial made by Neil at Fablocker.org.
Check out this video with lots of celebrities who talk about the importance of science. (iamFIRST.com).

Having a 3D printer is very interesting. It’s not like having big-screen TV or advanced microwave oven – it’s an inspiring machine that makes you want to make stuff! :)
This time we decided to design a simple hook for hanging stuff from 12 mm (1/2 inch) water pipes in bathrooms. You can download the file from Thingiverse.com.
In this video you can watch Markus Fischer talk about FESTO’s amazing radio-controlled flying mechanical bird!
Petter Forsberg, who studies at Chalmers University in Gothenburg/Sweden, has made himself a clever Segway-like device. Check it out above. :)
Recently we wanted to make an 3D-printable object on our Makerbot that filled a useful purpose. One way of finding out what to do is to analyse stuff that can be annoying and try to solve that problem.
Immediately we thought of the different ways people hang garbage bags. In most cases they get cramped into baskets or buckets which can have some disadvantages. The challenge then became to design a garbage bag holder that would be printable on our 3D printer.
You can see the result above and download the 3D files from Thingiverse.
José Oliveira created this amazing home-made 3D printer that uses a DLP projector with UV light to create high-resolution 3D models.
