Here’s a sneak preview of an activity I’m going to be up to this coming weekend out at Maker Media Headquarters!
3D Printing Shootout Weekend Returns! From MAKE:
MAKE is excited to announce that our second 3D Printing Shootout Weekend will be held this Friday, Aug, 2 through Sunday, Aug. 4. This year the testing is bigger than ever with a team of 15 testers carefully reviewing 21 printers of all makes and models. The results of the testing will be featured in the buying guide section of MAKE’s forthcoming special 3D printing issue available in mid-November.
This issue will be our follow-up to the popular Make: Ultimate Guide to 3D Printing which has sold out in print form, but is still available as a PDF download or as a soon-to-be released book. We are proud to announce that this year’s edition will feature a head-to-head comparison of two desktop resin printers that were in our “ones to watch” section last year: the Form 1 and B9 creator.
…For more information on these printers (and many others), look for the special issue on newsstands and in the Maker Shed in mid-November to learn which printer is right for you!
Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!
