3D printing doesn’t always have to be about serious design projects. Sometimes I just need to kick back relax with an ice-cold tasty beverage. One thing that takes away from one’s ability to relax is when your stack of beverages rolls all over the fridge shelf and knocks over the pasta sauce jar… Thankfully, 3D

Lannix Design has recently purchased a 3D scanner which we hope will become a useful tool to complement our existing CAD and 3D printing services. We’ve been working out how to best optimize lighting conditions when scanning to obtain accurate results. So far it seems that dark and featureless surfaces are not ideal! Using brightly

This one has been a long time coming. Since all the 3D printing was done it has sat around waiting for someone to screw it together. Subtle hints that this truck would make pretty good photos for the Lannix Design website eventually guilted my friend into making time to get it together. Thanks mate! It’s

People often talk to me about 3D printing and are fascinated by the process. To some it seems like only nerds can do it and that is certainly true to some extent! You don’t need to be an expert in computers and CAD to find something to interesting to 3D print. There are many website

Building the main frame Prusa 3D printers are considered to be a reliable workhorse machine suitable for mass producing parts in a small business. Popular with hobbyists and businesses alike, we can vouch for their reliability and performance. This is our fourth Prusa machine and to distinguish it from the rest we have decide to

I’ve been playing with 3D printers since 2016 and in that time I’ve learned that when it comes to 3D printer filament, you get what you pay for! Thankfully in that time, many new companies have come to the market with better and better products. After a lot of experimentation with filament offerings from various
