Nice tear down from Bunnie:Studios via 3ders.org:
I don’t do many teardowns on this blog, as several other websites already do an excellent job of that, but when I was given the chance to take apart a Formlabs Form 2, I was more than happy to oblige. About three yeargalvos ago, I had posted a teardown of a Form 1, which I received as a Kickstarter backer reward. Today, I’m looking at a Form 2 engineering prototype. Now that the Form 2 is in full production, the prototypes are basically spare parts, so I’m going to unleash my inner child and tear this thing apart with no concern about putting it back together again.
For regular readers of this blog, this teardown takes the place of March 2016’s Name that Ware — this time, I’m the one playing Name that Ware and y’all get to follow along as I adventure through the printer. Next month I’ll resume regular Name that Ware content.
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!
