Bradley Rigdon who owns Print To 3D shows us how he can print a cool bearing with his 3D printer. This printer is a bit different than the Makerbot that we have featured here before. His Dimension 3D printer uses uses 2 types of material, one that makes the structure of the item and a second material that can be dissolved after the model has been printed. See the videos
How luck are you if you can find a CNC machine like this one for a few hundred dollars! That is exactly what happened to Dave Kush of BuildYourIdea.com. It wasn’t a fully functional machine so like any huge machine like this that’s sold as is who knows if it will take $10 or $10,000 to get it up and running again.

I haven’t heard
Our friends are back at it, the Suzuki Electric Bike project wasn’t a big enough challenge I guess. 🙂 The new project is the Dune Bug E which is a Dune Buggy Electric Conversion. By the looks of the tear down there won’t be one bolt on the donor vehicle that will be left untouched.
Robots may take over the world some day but before they do they better learn to hang on when performing on the Horizontal bar. 🙂 Make sure you watch the 3rd video, it demonstrates the creature that is developing the technology (or it could be just a shy geek). Via: Adafruit Blog
