Tripod End Table Project Sometimes you just need an end table. I can’t say that these small tables are a passion of mine. I’m not sure that anyone would say that. This one was designed and built out of a need that arose after my baby son arrived. But let’s not get into that. I […]

Let’s go back to 2016, a time before my son came along, before my partner came along and when I was still a struggling uni student tasked with designing an industrial gearbox given specific parameters from Wiji, the man in charge of the Design of Machine Elements unit. 3D printing was still a relatively new

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

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

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

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

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
