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 […]

Building the X and Z-axes Welcome to part 3 of the Prusa build guide! Because this is the fourth Prusa i3 in the Lannix3D workshop, we have reproduced some of the parts with a nice blue filament to distinguish this printer from the others. Prusas come from the factory with 3D printed parts, some of

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

Building the Y-axis Moving on from the first post where we assembled the 3D printer’s main frame, it’s now time to build and install the Y-axis carriage. Incidentally, this is where I’ve noticed a difference between this MK3S+ and the earlier MK3S which is the brackets that hold the linear bearings to the underside of

My dad found one of these things second hand and thought it would be neat in his mancave. What does an English phone booth have to do with 3D printing I imagine you asking..? Well dad’s is missing its crown and asked me if I could make some sort of template so he had a

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

Steel plates are the most popular surface used for 3D prints to build on. The plates shown on the right (two in front) have a textured surface that transfers to the 3D printed part leaving an aesthetically pleasing bottom surface. This can be used as the face of electronics enclosures and such if a nice

Air filtration, heat and humidity management are an important part of maintaining high quality 3D prints. All through the year the humidity in Brisbane can be quite high so it’s important to control the climate in the workshop. An air filtration unit has been installed in the enclosure and a dehumidifier is on its way
