There’s a bit of a high-speed arms race in the RC world on YouTube these days. [Michael Rectin] is in on the action, and he’s been exploring how to 3D print a decent set of tires to help his RC car ...
Let me tell you something. Toys these days are ugly. Most of them are made in China, probably for less than a dollar using the crappiest plastic and paint, and then they are sold to you for way more ...
3D printing has really taken off and innovators are constantly finding new ways to take advantage of these new-found capabilities. Brett Turnage, one of those innovators and owner of BTI3Dlabs, has ...
If we told you somebody built a 3D printed go-kart, you’d expect to see a certain sequence of events. A bit of work in CAD, a printer montage, then some assembly. That’s not the case here. [3D Sanago] ...
In this video I'll show you how I treated my rc car, and how I designed and printed a new 3D part for it. The car is a zd ...
When I was a kid and was first exposed to the idea of replicators in sci-fi movies, I just couldn't wrap my head around how an object could be created out of what appeared to be thin air. Sci-fi ...
I’m not sure which hobbyist group is more creative—the people who build custom RC cars, or the ones that carefully craft every tiny detail into their stationary models. Whichever it might be, I think ...
I tried making a micro 3D airplane and failed, so I built another one. Micro rc airplanes demand too much attention to detail ...
After focussing on car parts and radio controlled (RC) cars, 3D printing specialists BTI3Dlabs have turned their attention to two wheels, printing a miniature RC version of the Ducati draXter concept ...
General Electric this week revealed that it has completed a multi-year project to print a working jet engine. The engine, small enough to fit in a backpack, was built by a team of technicians, ...
