Japicain Revolution 3D Printer: Changing the way you print by Japica Demo of how the J-Rev prints upward What is the Japicain Revolution? (AKA: J-Rev) The J-Rev is a 3-Dimensional Printing Machine. In basic terms, it can make any physical object out of a chosen material, typically plastic. Most FFF printers can produce good results, but have yet to reach the ability to print as good as high-end Commercial 3D Printers. A 3D Printer can produce most anything you desire, and be a useful tool in your life. Home - 3D Printing Business (Huge demand)Prototype printing - Test your designs before productionLow-Medium Volume Manufacturing - Forget Chinese Manufacturing and build your products yourself.3D Art - (One of the things we love to use them for)Make everyday items (Broken parts, Vases, Tools, Toys, and more)Visit Thingiverse.com for even more ideas and 3D Object files. We have noticed over the last year that there have been a few 3D printer projects on Kickstarter that have raised a lot more than the original funding goal. The J-Rev is a unique 3D Printer.

Makerbot, Ultimaker and Cb printer: customer support comparison | A girl with a 3D printer 3d printers are fun, but you will eventually have problems and will have to write to the customer support to solve them. Maybe after months of faithful usage like it happend to our Replicator or just after unboxing and trying to assemble the creature, but sooner or later you will have to write an email and ask information or spare pieces to who sold you the machine. Sometimes it’s a nice experience, sometimes it’s awful. You already are sad/annoyed/angry because your printer isn’t working and a good user support will brighten or darken your day. So here are our experiences so far, let me know yours! Cb-printer: I’ll start easy, the error was theirs. Makerbot: after working perfectly for months on one day we heard a pop, a bad smell and the printer was dead. Great support, would love to recommend it Ultimaker: I already wrote about the problem we had in my assembly post and won’t get into details again. Based on the user support I would never recommend Ultimaker

OpenSL 3D Printer: A Stereolithographic printer, For Everyone. What is sLAMPS? sLAMPS is an open design for a 3d SL (Stereo Lithography) resin printer. I've been working on it for the last few months and have gotten it to the point where it is ready to print -- once I get a good supply of resin. How does it work? The printer works using a galvanometer and mirrors to steer a laser into a cured vat of resin. Why do I need funding? I'm seeking funding for two reasons: 1) To be held accountable for my design to ensure that this design makes it into your hands before people are mistaken into spending a lot of money on something that doesn't need to be that expensive. 2) To accelerate my prototype. Big purchases? Well, the funding, if received, would go towards: * Resin Development / Manufacturing / Supplier. * Laser Cutter. Why aren't you selling lots of full, assembled printers? The printer in its current state is still very much a beta. What have you done so far? * Designed and printed several interations of plastic parts for the printer * Built sLAMPS 1.0
dood presents DOM: Digital Object Maker The project Who are we? We are two childhood friends with complementary skills: mechanical engineering, business, arts, marketing, music, teaching... 3D printing has been a passion of ours for years. We use this technology for personal projects as well as for building prototypes for our clients. Origin of the project We decided to create our own 3D printer to become more independant and have access to a cheap and efficient solution. We could have assembly or order one of the many RepRap models available but we were not entirely satisfied by the mechanical part of these machines. Our printer: the Digital Object Maker After more than a year of work, we finally succeed at building a reliable machine. This technology lets inventors, designers, architects or makers with CAD knowledge create objects, test ergonomy or even produce small batches of a product. Technical Specs. of the DOM Dimensions: 61x41x41 cm (24x16x16 inch) Materials: wood, aluminium, stainless steel Layer thickness: 300 to 100 microns
Mataerial 3D printer by Petr Novikov, Saša Jokić, Joris Laarman Lab and IAAC Plastic extruded from this robotic 3D printer solidifies instantly, allowing it to draw freeform shapes in the air extending from any surface (+ movie). Unlike normal 3D printers that require a flat and horizontal base, Mataerial prints with plastic that sticks to horizontal, vertical, smooth or irregular surfaces, without the need for additional support structures. Petr Novikov and Saša Jokić from Barcelona's Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia created the machine during their internship at Joris Laarman Lab, where students are given a platform to experiment with new digital fabrication methods. The process, which the designers call "anti-gravity object modelling", is a form of extrusion that instantly creates chunky three-dimensional rods, rather than slowly building up two-dimensional layers like a standard 3D printer. We recently featured a similar idea on a much smaller scale – a pen that can "print" 3D doodles in mid-air.
Quentin Harley released SCARA based "RepRap Morgan" 3D printer and its design | 3D Printer May.14, 2013 Reprap Morgan is a concentric dual arm SCARA FDM 3D printer, designed and built by Quentin Harley. The SCARA stands for Selective Compliant Assembly Robot Arm or Selective Compliant Articulated Robot Arm. Harley has been working on this project for a couple of years, and in February Harley released pictures showing off the build. The extruder of this Reprap Morgan 3D printer moves along the x and y axes and the bed itself moves along the Z axis. Yesterday Harley has officially released the Morgan plans, this is a big step for the development of entry-level 3D printer. "RepRAP Morgan is all about a dream. The complete BOM and initial build instructions will go live also in some days. If you love this project, you can follow Harley's progress here on his blog, or support him by getting him a coffee, a beer or a roll of filament. In the video below you can see RepRap Morgen is printing bridges at 80mm/s. The video below showing RepRAP Morgan printing with new slic3r settings.
FoldaRap FoldaRap2 Release status: working In my obsession dreaming of a folding RepRap, I finally started to make one, after 5-7 months of development I'm able to travel with it around the town/country/world :) (adventures pictured on flickr / youtube / ustream) And now several people have build one : FoldaRap_Hall-of-Builds, even some by sourcing themselves the parts : google-maps (the red dots) Specifications Printed Parts: 33 Non-Printed Parts: 285 (including every bolts/nuts/washers/ferules/etc.) Special Features Foldable ! Community FoldaRap 2.5 new plates arrangement for the v2.5, to ease color associations ;) FoldaRap 2.1 after several tries and suggestions with Xav83, I ended with this simple piece that hold an endstop with a zip-tie :) (for the Z-endstop, or any machine using 20x20 extrusions) FoldaRap 1.0
The shape of things to come: A consumer's guide to 3D printers CES 2013 proved to be something of a coming out party for consumer-facing 3D printers. Sure MakerBot earned a fair amount of attention at last year's show with the announcement of the Replicator, which snagged its share of awards from various press outlets. This year, however, saw a relative deluge in 3D-printing representation, with strong showings from 3D Systems, FormLabs, MakerBot and the cloud-based 3D printer, Sculpteo. Even with so many companies rising to prominence, the dream of truly mainstream 3D printing still feels a ways off -- if that is indeed where we're inevitably heading. These nascent days are an exciting time, with a diverse array of companies and organizations vying to be the first to bring the technology to our homes. Most of these work by melting plastic (largely Lego-like ABS or biodegradable PLA) and squirting it out through extruder heads. 3D Systems 3D Systems has been in the 3D-printing game since before the term was coined.
