We love seeing hardware get repurposed into cool things, but it seems like more often than not, people are using vintage hardware. Today, we've got something cool put together by maker Ben Makes Everything , as they're known by over at YouTube, who is using something a little more modern in their upcycling project. Ben has created a robotic camera system using components salvaged from an old, unused Creality Ender 3.

It was about a decade ago that I first got into 3D printing, thanks to Ultimaker loaning its 3D printers to user groups, makerspaces, and schools. My local makerspace received a unit, and from there, I was hooked on what you could create using nothing more than X,Y, Z coordinates and blobs of molten plastic. In the early days, though, the laser cutter truly stole my attention.

I’ve owned a few 3D printers

3D printing technology is evolving at breakneck speed, and features considered cushy add-ons five years ago are now becoming everyday essentials. 3D printer forums used to buzz with questions about necessary mods just to make their machines usable, but now people want to know if they can run their printer from a phone.

I checked my notes, and during my time at Tom’

If the organizing consultant Marie Kondo were assimilated by Star Trek’s Borg, you would get me. I am by no means a fully neat and tidy person (I vacuum, I clear tables, wash the dishes, etc), but I like order in the chaos that is life. I like to know where things are. I like First Order Retrievability, a concept made popular by Mythbusters host Adam Savage, where one should maximize efficiency by ensuring

A handful of scientists from ETH Zurich have developed a 3D printable patch known as the RCPatch (or Reinforced Cardiac Patch) that can help repair heart damage by integrating with the existing tissue. This is one of many developments in the medical industry to integrate 3D printing in recent years. The development suggests new possible options for patients with cardiac damage in which a heart patch is necessary.

The RCPatch is intended to help the heart on two key points. First

We’ve seen a lot of wild 3D printers launch on Kickstarter, but none are quite like the YUMi, a 12-color modular bedslinger that claims to be “the fastest multi-color 3D printer in the galaxy.” And if you don’t believe it, just turn to TikTok for print demos by American influencers. The new printers tout impressive speed stats of 700mm/s with a max acceleration of 20,000mm
