Thanks for reading we’ll see you next week with another Editor’s Pick of the Week.The nominations for the 2021 3D Printing Industry Awards are now open.
Check out this week’s Product Brief for complete details. The TAZ Workhorse supports a wide variety of third-party thermoplastics and carbon fiber reinforced blends check the Product Brief for details.ĭescribing all the details of a new 3D printer is like peeling an onion there’s always another layer.
(In a bit of irony we can’t help but pass along, GitHub is proudly open source but its owner is Microsoft.) Marlin runs just fine on the same inexpensive 8-bit microcontrollers found in the Arduino platform, which helps keep down the cost of the TAZ Workhorse.ģD printing is a three-legged stool we would be remiss in not mentioning the third leg, materials. Marlin’s original author was Erik van der Zalm, but today Marlin is supported by makers and vendors, hosted on GitHub. The firmware is Marlin, used by both open source and proprietary 3D printers. When hardware is open source, it means the firmware driving the device is also open source. It works on a variety of open source and commercial operating systems. The latest release has an updated user interface, more slicing options, an updated slicing engine and improved print quality. Aleph Objects recommends Cura LulzBot Edition Free Software to operate the Workhorse. What software do you use for an open source 3D printer? Open source software, of course. The print heads are designed for 360-degree cooling, which Aleph Objects says offers improved performance for overhang and bridge printing. The business end of an STL printer, the hot applicator, is now a modular system with three options. The body was redesigned for additional strength and the motion mechanics were upgraded with a new belt-driven Z-axis.
