Are you bored with monocolor 3D objects, or tired of having to manually remove the support structures off your 3D prints? If so, the Geeetech A10M might be your go-to printer. It is picked by 3dnatives as the No. 1 dual extruder 3D printer for 2019. In the artical, A10M is dubbed as “a 3D…
As an organic polymer, lignin plays an important role in providing rigid support for plants. It strengthens the cell walls of plants and causes them to turn woody (lignify) – a mechanism that helps plants to protect themselves against wind or pests. Lignin has traditionally been a waste product from paper manufacture. A number of research groups…
The United States Army Research Laboratory and Texas A&M University have developed a family of synthetic materials that are capable of self-healing. The polymers vary in texture, from ultra-soft to extremely rigid. They can be 3D printed, are recyclable, and stick to each other in air and underwater. Such materials are expected to be used…
The soil in your backyard could be used to build a home, thanks to 3D printing technology. Researchers from Texas and San Fransisco have come up with a way to turn soil into ink for 3D printing, according to a BBC report. By extracting clay from soil and mixing it with sodium silicate, the researchers…
United Arab Emirates (UAE) ,China, and the United States, all launched their Mars missions at the start of the second half 2020, rekindling the masses’ interest in outer space exploration. Despite being the last in launching its Mars mission, NASA(the National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the Unite States ) has taken the lead in releasing 3D-printable data…
Russian astronauts have successfully 3D printed human tissue in space. With the advances in science and technology, new ideas are being materialized all the time,from 3D printed cartoon characters to 3D printed organs. From earth to outer space,3D printing is certain to usher in an era of “space manufacturing” and a new round of medical innovation. 3D printing plays a…
Nowadays, desktop 3D printers that come with 2 extruders are more powerful and affordable. (the latest A10M is available for merely $259 after a discount, with an upgraded motherboard/LCD/Frame). Still, many, especially beginners are intimidated by those dual extrusion systems. In light of this, I am presenting to you this step-by-step guide to dual extruder…
