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

Building the extruder Welcome to part 4 of the Prusa build guide! This is a big one! It’s now time to assembly the business end of your machine. The extruder assembly is where the filament is melted and placed onto the print bed to become your 3D printed part. Luckily Prusa have wired up all

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

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
