Gorilla Glass maker unveils ultra-thin and flexible Willow Glass

By Adam Williams

Corning announced details of a major new glass design at the eighth annual Display Week in Boston, a trade event hosted by the Society for Information Display. Named Willow Glass, Corning’s new glass is manufactured in such a way that allows it to reach temperatures of up to 500°C (932ºF) while maintaining a thickness of just 100 microns – or about that of a sheet of paper.

The company's Gorilla Glass was first brought into being to meet Steve Jobs' need for a hard-wearing glass screen for the original iPhone, and has since appeared on smartphones from almost every major manufacturer, in addition to a host of tablets and televisions. Therefore, any new innovation claimed by Corning will be sure to grab the close attention of interested parties such as Apple, Nokia and Samsung.

E como estes gajos são porreiros, cá vai o relato das suas mais recentes aventuras na Maker Faire:

New apps, new booth, new products, new friends — recap of Maker Faire Bay Area 2012 

It was our fourth year at Maker Faire, and we really stepped up our game.

We took center stage to announce the next big thing in the new industrial revolution: Apps for the Maker Movement.
We revealed 4 new apps in the Personal Factory App Gateway, all powered by the Personal Factory API.
We also had a brand new booth design showcasing our apps and displaying super cool app-created products:
• 3D printed models of molecules created with MadeSolid
• 3D printed and lasercut robot created with Autodesk123D
• Waterjet cut custom car part created with Local Motors Fab Shop

E junto-lhe esta do SeeMeCNC, a ùltima versão do seu Modelo H-1:

From the guys who brought you the worlds FIRST injection molded, low-cost, open-source 3D printer.

 Watch the H1 in action on Ustream. We will be posting announcements during this campaign when we will be print LIVE with the new H1.1

SeeMeCNC is back, with an updated version of our H-1 3D printers

  Building upon our first version of the open-source Huxley, the H-1, we have re-designed many of the more difficult parts of building and adjusting our machines to make it easier and faster to assemble. We have also improved the bearing design of the origional reprap Huxley, from which the H in our machines name came from.  We have re-designed the bearing assemblies on all axes to use bronze linear bushings instead of the more complicated and sometimes frustrating triple plastic bearings of the origional. Along with the new design improvements, we have listened to what a lot of people were saying, and offer the awesome RAMPS 1.4 boards by Ultimachine. The RAMPS setup is for those who want a dedicated 3D printer control solution.

SeeMeCNC, e Instructables

Aqui vai mais um Anúncio da SeeMeCNC, uma Impressora 3D porreira, sobre mais um Produto que oferecem, através do Site deles:

 

For all you Arduino and reprappers out there, we are PROUD to offer the RAMPS 1.4 kits from http://ultimachine.com/ now on our website. 

You can now order your H-1 with this OR mach3/EMC based control, making us the most diversified 3D printer kit supplier in the world! Be proud to own your H-1, and if you don't have one yet, better hurry!

E agora uns Instructables;
Este é importante, como fazer Transfers, para os vossos Projectos:

Laser Printer Image Transfers

This is a great way to give digital images a vintage feel. Laser print image transfers are an easy-to-make home decoration, and make great gifts.

For this project I used:

Xylol
Plywood or 2x6
Masking Tape
Rubber Gloves
Color laser prints.
Paper Towel.

Juntar o útil ao agradável, eis este Candeeiro bacana, com Ficheiros para cortarem por Laser, e até um para imprimirem em 3D:

Plywood Floor Lamp

I have enjoyed this site and community for a long time and have wanted to contribute for almost as long.
I have finally got something to post.

Here is something I worked on last summer. ( well not really, it is a rendering I did last night ) Keep looking, you'll see.

The challenge, make something out of one piece of 4'x8' - 3/4" Plywood. Sounds simple enough,,,one thing I added to that was I wanted to see if I could do it without mechanical fasteners.
Challenge on.

I have included a PDF of a drawing package that I made for this instructable. It has some of my original design revised with "as built" modifications.
Also included, DWG and DXF files of the profiles for anyone with a CNC mill or router. (I just noticed a rib profile missing, i'll fix that soon and replace the files here soon. Till then, if you know your way around a DWG editor you can "copy/paste" one of the other ribs and modify it very easily to reproduce the missing part.
Finally, STL files of a simpler but still articulating version of this. Available for those of you who are lucky enough to have a 3D printer and want to play around with this.
I if you download these and find issues, let me know I will be happy to try and resolve them

E que tal uma Estufa, coberta para Piscina, etc. mas mais para o fácil e barato?
A vida não está fácil...

20' Geodesic Dome Greenhouse

Geodesic Domes are awesome.  This Instructable will show you how I built a 20' dome for about $250, with the majority of that cost being the greenhouse plastic ($167 with shipping.)  That's right, the structure itself cost less than $100!  I will also write about what is wrong with this design, how it came about, what I learned from it, and what you might want to do if you're building your own.

Quero ver é metal a derreter!

As saudades que eu tenho de fundir Alumínio!

Enquanto não me meto a fazer Moldes e derreter Metal, eis uma Animação impecável sobre o que acontece quando se verte metal para um Molde:

Mais uma Boa Causa que será talvez um dia uma boa compra, mais uma Impressora acessível 3D entra no Mercado, em breve, a 450 dólares!

Our Story

The H-1 is the most affordable entry-level open source 3D printer available. Our H-1 machine is based on a famous open source RepRap machine named Huxley.  We support and appreciate the open source design shared by RepRap Jean-Marc and Adrian Bowyer. Our campaign motto is "Standing on the shoulder of giants".

Our machine is called the H-1 because it isn't a replica. The H-1 plastic parts are all redesigned for plastic injection molding. We found it difficult to source some metric parts in the United States so we designed the H-1 in inch units. To further reduce cost, we injection molded plastic roller bearings instead of buying metal bearings.

With our manufacturing tools and know-how, we are able to provide you with the lowest entry cost available for a new 3D printer. Because we have the ability to make our own injection mold tooling, and injection on our own equipment, we are able cut the cost.
