There’s currently no record for the world’s highest altitude 3d print. So I set one! A huge shout out to Louis Weisz for being my partner in crime and sherpa for this adventure, Positron 3D(and Nomad and Justin) for building and giving me a printer and answering my endless questions, and Arapahoe Basin ski patrol […]
Read moreI 3D printed my own iPhone out of nylon carbon fiber, and it no only works, but it feels great in the hand. It’s totally possible to print a working iPhone on a regular consumer 3D printer. This is a huge step towards allowing anyone to make their own unique smartphone!
Read moreWe’re visiting JLC’s CNC service in Zhuhai, China, to see how a Chinese CNC factory operates. We see them start from cutting raw stock and go through the full machining process, all the way to the final hand polishing and packing process.
Read moreI carved an iPhone out of a solid block of aluminum and turned it into a working custom phone. It took me over a year, from measuring every tiny part to carefully using a CNC machine to cut the complex shapes and fit all the pieces together. This is the first step toward a future […]
Read moreWhile I was still struggling to get the preproduction Micronics printer I was sent to work, Micronics was acquired by Formlabs, and they’re canceling their kickstarter. Quite the turn of events!
Read moreI was beyond excited to try out the brand-new Micronics SLS 3D printer, but man, what a ride it turned out to be. From auger jams to sensor errors, this thing has had one problem after another. Trying to get it to work ended up being more of a journey than I bargained for. Despite […]
Read moreIs it possible to turn the smoke from steel mills into clothing? I spoke with Zara Summers from LanzaTech about their groundbreaking process for converting industrial emissions into high-quality polyester and other materials using the power of specially modified bacteria.
Read moreWhy would a stove have batteries inside it? Join me at the White House Demo Day as we explore the Channing Street Copper Company’s innovative induction stove. This cutting-edge appliance plugs into a standard 110-volt outlet, charging the batteries throughout the day and discharging them when cooking, avoiding costly rewiring and making it easier to […]
Read more3D printing human tissue stands to revolutionizing medicine! I got a chance to talk with Kristy Derr of the National Institutes of Health’s NCATS lab about their innovations in 3D printing human tissue for disease research and drug discovery. Discover the precision of bioprinting, from printing blood vessels to building complex tissue structures. This cutting-edge […]
