I also explain how to burn a bootloader to a 3D Printer that doesn’t have one yet. But really, you might not even need one! Use a USBtinyISP as a programmer or re-purpose an Arduino board you might already have to upload anything even to mainboards that do not come with a bootloader installed.
Improving the backyard with Fusion360! (printed on Creality Ender 3)
The new garden hose is scraping the corner of the wall – time to fix that with a 3D printed part! But not everything goes according to plan…
Easily upgrade the Marlin firmware on your kit 3D printer!
Ever wanted to get rid of the buggy or outdated version of the Marlin firmware that shipped with your printer? Just update it to the most current one! I show you how to set up the mainline Marlin firmware on your kit 3D printer using the Arduino software package.
The End of OnShape?
Onshape pushed some updates to their terms of service a few days ago, and it drastically changes what you can do with it on the free plan. My only option is now Fusion360, which I’ve wanted to try for a while anyways specifically for CNC milling – no better time than now! Discuss this video
How it’s Made: The Marlin Firmware!
While I had the chance, I sat down with Scott Lahteine, the lead developer of the Marlin 3D printer firmware, to talk about what goes into the software that runs most of our 3D printers!
How to: Velocity Painting! (Tattoo your 3D prints)
Tired of your 3D prints always coming out flat and untextured? That’s an easy fix – get some patterning or texturing going with Velocity Painting!
Live Creality Ender 3 Live Build & First Prints!
Today we unbox and try out what has been touted as “The best 3D printer” by many – but will it perform?
Update from Prusa! New MMU Features / PEI Beds / New Slicer
