Face it, we’ve all at some time or other looked at our hot glue guns, and thought “I wonder if I could use that for 3D printing!”. [Proper Printing] didn’t just think it, he’s made a ...
Imagine transforming your 3D printing experience by swapping traditional filaments for hot glue sticks. This innovative approach, inspired by CNC Kitchen’s new use of shredded hot glue as ...
Hot glue guns can also be picked up for very little money (like this one for $5.95 at Amazon) for experimenting, refining, etc. Proper Printing decided to base his project on a Dremel hot glue gun ...
3D printers are sometimes compared to hot glue guns, in part because of similarities between hot glue and printer filament. However, analyzing the mechanical obstacles that complicate printing ...
The bones aren't like past 3D printing attempts we've heard of, however — they are being printed using powered bones and a biological glue.
Industrial design student Vimal Patel was, and so he decided to fashion himself a 3D doodler, out of a hot glue gun which he modded with a custom Lego extruder. You know, obviously.
They were able to 3D print the various materials directly onto a piece of untreated wood in such a way that they penetrated the pores in the wood, forming a bond in much the same way an adhesive ...
To feed my new glue gun I needed a cylinder 11 mm in diameter and at least 5 in long. Happily, 3D printers exist for the sole purpose of turning 1.75 mm filament into other shapes and sizes.
Given some biodegradable 3D printing filament and tasked with doing something creative with it, Vimal Patel built an extruder using Lego, attached it to a rather ordinary hot glue gun and ended up ...
The two 3D models you see above are made from office paper. The one on the right cost $1 in parts to produce. The one on the left, just 37¢. They were spat out by a new 3D printer called the ...
