Imprimir 3D em Fibra de Carbono! E de 2D para 3D, 3 níveis de Polimento, Ferro nos Cereais, e modificar as vossas Nerfs

Podem agora fabricar em vossas casas, peças em Fibra de Carbono!

E o que é melhor, pode-se ter a peça com um núcleo e camada exterior em nylon, o que abre um sem-fim de possibĩlidades, tanto estéticas, como mecânicas, visto que o Nilon é passível de ficar muito mais liso, e é auto-lubrificante...

US$5,000 for the world’s first 3D carbon fiber printer

Loz Blain

Auto and motorcycle enthusiasts with a bit of CAD savvy will soon have access to a remarkably affordable dream machine – the US$5,000 MarkForged Mark One. Touted as the world’s first 3D printer capable of printing in carbon fiber, the device could trigger an avalanche of aftermarket carbon fiber bolt-on parts.

Carbon fiber (CF) has long been a material of choice for automotive and aerospace applications due to its light weight and extreme strength – to the point where its trademark weave pattern has become synonymous with high performance vehicles. Carbon fiber bolt-on parts, or even plastic ones designed to look like CF, are hot items in the aftermarket auto parts industry, and the ability to 3D print such items will presumably open up all sorts of new applications in this and other areas.

Material Monday: New Finishes for High Detailed Stainless Steel

Franky 

 

Small, detailed and strong. There really is no better way to describe high detailed stainless steel. We introduced this material over a year ago and believed it might be just about time for some new finishes.

Magnets Reveal Hidden Cereal Ingredient!

Many cereals are fortified with added iron, one of many necessary vitamins and minerals.  These items are added to the mix when the cereal is are made, so it is a bit like taking your vitamin with the cereal.

Since iron is attracted to magnets, finding it can be a fun and instructive science experiment.  This is especially fun for kids, because we’re experimenting with new ideas using everyday stuff that they are already familiar with.

...E da nossa amiga Britliv, eis uma modificação para as vossas Pistolas Nerf, das eléctricas, isto é, movidas por motor eléctrico:

Ultimate Nerf Stryfe Mod 

BrittLiv

This modification will allow you to control the motor speed of a Nerf Stryfe and thereby the impact force of the Nerf darts.
The Stryfe is my favourite Nerf gun, but like all electronic blasters in its stock form it is kind of weak. There are multiple instruction on the web on how to perform a voltage mod, but to change the speed you would always have to use different batteries. You might ask why would you want it to run on a lower speed? Well if you have ever heard how loud it is after the voltage mod the question answers itself.
As an added feature, the speed of the motors is indicated by nine LEDs on the side of the blaster.
