Since the relatively brand-new camera has succumbed to injuries sustained during an altercation with a coffee table, I had some time on my hands. I’d always had it in mind to make a 3D model of the shed and create a layout for the workshop in virtual space before laying down any cold hard cash […]

I’ve been working on our store website in the background for a long while now. It was to be a place to sell my 3D printed goods and any other items I came up with in the meantime. Since moving house over a year ago, the 3D printers haven’t been set up for mass producing

As regular visitors would know, I’ve been super keen to get the backyard shed built so we can finally move on with more renovations. I’m pleased to report that last week that it has finally happened! This means that I’ve acquired enough footage to make a feature video for our YouTube channel. I’ve put a

The idea to reuse empty filament spools as parts storage isn’t new. When I first started 3D printing I recall seeing that people had made curved containers that fit within a spool and thought that was a nifty idea. I’d always thought I’d make one for myself once I had a few empty spools laying

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

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

COVID 19 has affected us all in some way. Lannix Design was created in response to the uncertainty that the pandemic has brought with it. The business has been created as a way to turn what was a hobby into a real business. 3D printers can be temperamental and are affected by temperature and humidity
