One of the coolest parts of the 3D community is the open source sharing that goes on every day. So it was no surprise when Mark Leonard approached us to share the fiber bridging techniques he perfected after years of trial and error. Mark is a designer for Aztec Scenic Design, an ultra creative design…
The Spyder 3D World lab is equipped with several printers and a David scanner. In order to create uniform consistent rotations for better scans, Enrique and Kevin wanted to use the Virtumake Arduino turntable. Unfortunately, the servo and specified board were out of stock and not available for months. So, they fired up Solidworks and…
By Noah Hornberger Is there a logical method for pricing your 3D printable designs? There are tens of thousands of free 3D models available online, which makes it difficult to figure out how to get compensation for your work without alienating prospective buyers. I’ll share my pricing strategy and thought process with you – and…
