Most 3D printers use stepper motors to control the movement of the extruder head. If you could actually print those motors it would be one more big step toward self-replicating hardware. Now obviously ...

We’ve all heard linear motors, like those propelling Maglev trains, described as “unrolled” versions of regular electric motors. The analogy is apt and helps to understand how a linear motor works, ...

Arduino 3D Printer project is a DIY 3D printer design based on an arduino board. It features RAMPS 1.4 shield and Arduino Mega 2560 that handles majority of the 3D printer components. It has an ...

Industrious contractor Andrey Rudenko has designed and built his very own concrete 3D printer in his garage to help create and build houses and concrete 3D printed structures. The concrete 3D printer ...
