You’re likely already familiar with the concept of a 3D printing pen. The most famous is the 3Doodler, which is the extruder from a 3D printer made handheld, or like a high precision hot glue gun that uses the same filament as a typical 3d printer. The 3Doodler has been out for a while now, […]
With a host of new 3D printers in the Maker Shed, we thought we’d share some cool ideas for things YOU can 3D print to make your summer the best ever! We love the cutting-edge Felix 3.0, affordable and reworked Printrbot Simple Metal (check out our blog post on it here!), and the newest from […]
You may have heard of the 3Doodler, a pen-like instrument that acts like a sort of handheld 3D printer. If you’re like me you thought that, although interesting, it wouldn’t necessarily be practical for anything besides, well, a 3D Doodle. Apparently I was wrong, as you can also make a functional remote control plane. The […]
Mark Leonard, who works for Aztec design, is no stranger to intricate and unique projects. After being inspired by a Youtube video, he decided that he had to have a 3D printer. If he was thinking it would expand his creative abilities, it seems he was definitely right. This ceiling art, as you might expect, […]

In the developing world, we have to start by changing kids’ views of education.
Berkeley, California students Jane Yarnell and Sam Schickler, along with their science teacher Christine Mytko, brought 3D printed scans of microscopic surfaces to the White House Maker Faire.
