Arduino may be known for revolutionizing open source hardware platforms, but this week it enters the 3D printer market with the small and affordable Materia 101. Produced in partnership with ...

The printer itself is only a 310 x 330 x 350 mm box while the printing area is naturally smaller at 140 x 100 x 100 mm. It uses a Fused Filament type of 3D printing with a filament reaching 1.75 ...

– 1 Arduino Mega – 1 Ramps 1.4 Board (for CNC milling and 3D printing) – Smart Controller LCD – 6 End Stops – 5meter LED Strip with remote control (IR) – Kress 1050 Spindle MFE.

This design features a 3D-printed cube that balances using reaction wheels. Utilizing gyroscopic sensors and accelerometers, the device adapts to shifts in weight, enabling it to maintain stability.

3D printing will likely change manufacturing and even how products reach the home. Meanwhile, Arduino devices make electronic creation accessible to anyone with a laptop computer Topics ...
