Meet Hans Fouche, South Africa’s very own “King Of Makers” as dubbed by an article by Popular Mechanics SA. His Linkedin summary describes him as an Inventor and Engineer, that is fascinated with Rapid Prototyping, that have evolved into 3D Printing. His first “Rapid Prototyping” machine was build while he was Chief Aerodynamicist for the Brabham Formula One team 1990, to help him to build more models to test in the

This amazing 3D printer known as 3Drag, outfitted with a pastry bag or a heated syringe is capable of printing using any type of chocolate with great precision. To print with chocolate you will need to purchase an additional syringe extruder specifically designed for this purpose, the system works by heating the syringe to a lower temperature than conventional extruders. A needle inserted into the tip of the syringe is heated to a
Credits to mikelllc This project describes the design of a very low budget 3D Printer that is mainly built out of recycled electronic components. The result is a small format printer for less than 100$. First of all, we learn how a generic CNC system works (by assembling and calibrating bearings, guides and threads) and then teach the machine to respond to g-code instructions. After that, we add a small
