This just in … after months of speculation, Formlabs has finally launched their desktop resin-based (SLA) printer on Kickstarter — and they look to make their nut in the next couple of hours. Will this printer give plastic extrusion/FFF a run for its money? (At least among the “professional” desktop range?) Too early to tell.
The Form 1 marries high-end stereolithography (SL) technology and a seamless user experience at a price affordable to the professional designer, engineer and maker.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

I really like this 3D Printer….there is another material out that uses a kind of resin and is hardened and cured with UV light in 2 seconds…or how about a Printer that uses plastic bottles and such…
