The first prototype part for our offshoot business collaboration, R-Spec, has been designed and 3D printed using the 3D scans we produced a few weeks ago. My business partner Michael has had this Ford Ranger part in mind for quite some time and has already produced a few parts for his Ranger in his garage […]

Starting a business means you’ll be spending a lot of your time at a desk. The amount of USB sticks, SD cards and random stationery floating around the desk makes you wonder where all this came from. Things can get messy pretty quickly if you’re focused on the job at hand so a little organisation

Sometimes you need to 3D print something that’s just that little bit too big for the standard Prusa MK3S print bed. I thought I’d try out a Creality CR10 since they are relatively cheap and the guy I know who has one seems to believe they go alright. Check out our guide on replacing the

The Creality CR10 V3 is used for larger parts that won’t fit on the 240 x 220 x 220mm print bed of our Prusas. Boasting a 300 x 300 x 400mm print volume, it was seen to be a reasonable solution for printing prototype parts for our upcoming sister business R-Spec. It seems that it

I’ve come across some really great looking 3D printing time-lapse videos on YouTube and wondered how the were made and can I reproduce similar results. My partner Jade had a digital SLR camera that wasn’t being used too often so after some begging I was granted permission to use it in my experiments. The method

I decided to build a sign for our workshop to show off our CAD skills and showcase a practical use for 3D printing. I first saw the concept in a YouTube clip and thought it looked like a fun project and it would spruce up the workshop wall. The design consists of a black rear
