Ender-3 v2 3D Printer
An upgraded version of the phenomenal 3D printer from Creality, the Ender-3 v2 includes several of the updates previous-generation users had to buy separately. From a silent mainboard which reduces the overall noise of the printer, to a beautiful new color display, the next generation of Ender-3 is a great printer to get you up and printing your own creations quickly.Associated Videos:
Crew Conversation: Saving Money by Buying a 3D Printer
Linux Tech Show - July 8, 2020Could spending money on a 3D printer actually save us money? Robbie talks about how through the pandemic and moving to a new studio, he's starting to see a trend: Many of the things he needs to buy are well over-priced, and if he only had a 3D printer, he could [probably] make it himself. He has a clever strategy that ensures he can make it past the learning curve without actually spending any money at all.
Crew Conversation: A DIY Pan-Tilt Idea for Raspberry Pi HQ Camera Using DMX Lighting
Linux Tech Show - July 8, 2020DJ Lighting kits are available for cheap. They use the DMX (Digital Multiplex) protocol to control lighting and motors. A pan/tilt light can be bought for roughly $90. So Robbie contemplates whether 3D printing a revised faceplate for that light would allow him to embed a Raspberry Pi HQ Camera, providing a high quality pan/tilt camera that could be controlled from the DMX board.
Join Robbie on his mission to determine whether he's capable, with his busy schedule and lack of CAD experience, to effectively use a 3D printer. His strategy lets him test the concepts without spending a penny.
