Today is the 55th anniversary of Apollo 8. I figured it would be fun to make a CAD model with a space for a model rocket engine and also as an augmented reality model. The tutorial…

I'm on the hardware side, so this may or may not be relevant to your question but I'll share it anyway. I run CAD Class ( https://www.cadclass.org ) as well as a small 3D print far…

Super cool. I'm a fellow midwesterner and love to see this in Indiana.

Hacker Lab was a non-profit. The barriers remain the same. How to pay for the space, the upkeep, equipment, etc to keep it running. It's not cheap..

I'm the education director at a large makerspace and have some ideas for you. First, if you'd like to take another step forward, I recommend silicone molding your 3D printed part. …

Yeah I've seen a few people doing that. Nerf mods are popular too. I have 3 Ender 3's. They're easy to mod and work great if set up well.

I started a 3D printing company generating on average about 2k/month printing small plastic clips and connectors for collectors as well as a few other adapters and jigs sold on eBa…
