The first Robo 3D R2 3d printer I had wasn’t able to print well, and kept jamming. I was sent a second, but that had a bent lead screw. A third arrived, and is it able to print?

I saw this really cool paste extruder 3d printing in clay at Bay Area Maker Faire this year. It was REALLY cool to see in person, and what Emerging Objects is doing with their technology is awesome!

Tom Sanladerer was in Seattle, so we came up with a project. CNC milled coasters with 3d printed inlays! Tom would be using Onshape for design, a birch plywood for stock, and Safety Orange Proto Pasta HTPLA filament. I used Fusion 360, walnut for the stock, and NylonX for mine!

Estefannie is a awesome maker, and quite rad people in person. If you get the chance I highly suggest you meet her and strike up a conversation about awesome stuff!

The Carbide3D CNC mill is a neat little machine. It’s smaller in size, but built strong so it can handle the violent stresses of milling operations.

It’s always a pleasure chatting with Brook Drumm at the Printrbot booth during Bay Area Maker Faire. This year, Brook brought along the revamped Printrbelt – a 3d printer with X and Y at 35 degrees, and z on a conveyor belt!

David Shorey through Shorey Designs creates amazing pieces where 3d printers print ONTO fabric and other materials. This sort of thing is great for costumes, cosplay, and as he shows, creating a functional dress! His table at Bay Area Maker Faire 2018 was always busy with people wanting to see!
