3D Printing is a very popular facet of the maker/hacker movement. Though they are still a bit difficult to use/calibrate, they are capable of printing 3D items based on CAD models and using extruded filament.
Software
3D Printing
- Repetierhost used by the Freeside terminal to generate gcode from .stl files and command the 3D printers
- Slic3r is integrated with repetier host above or used as a stand alone to generate machine readable gcode from an .stl 3D model
- Cura LulzBot branded flavor of Cura, included with the LulzBot Mini
- Marlin firmware running on all 3 machines
CAD/3D Modeling
Any software that can generate an .stl 3D image file is suitable. Below is an incomplete list of popular options.
- openscad.org
- tinkercad.com
- blender.org
- sketchup.com
- AutoDesk (various products)
Equipment
- LulzBot AO-100
- The Kraken
- LulzBot Mini
- Wall of Spool
- Member workstation
Current Projects
- Rebuild the AO-100
- Replace the heated bed and power supply on the Kraken
Gallery
LulzBot AO-100 after some upgrades
