@fgraffagnino @printablescom You could pot it with gel as outdoor boxes are 😊

Visualising complex molecules, a really unique way to help research!

It's much easier to imagine mechanisms and 3D shapes when you can look at and hold a physical model of the structure!

This is a model of the Zeolite FAU I modelled and printed for a PHD student in @MFCIC 😃

[Matt Whittingham @Matt3DMaker]

The filament produced was fully recycled - using rPLA feedstock from recycled coffee cup lids, and wound on a recycled cardboard spool - and printed wonderfully on the Banks Group's @Prusa3D Mk3S+. Here's a very brief overview of the process!

We turned @ManMetUni 's John Dalton Building into recycled 3D-printer filament!

Taking a sample of demolition waste from JD, and turning it into a printable recycled PLA filament was a really interesting project.

[Matt Whittingham @Matt3DMaker]

How about now? 👀

[Matt Whittingham @Matt3DMaker]

@garybuller Poop-LA? 🤣 It is not

[Matt Whittingham @Matt3DMaker]

Any guessed as to what material I've mixed into this bespoke rPLA? 👀

[Matt Whittingham @Matt3DMaker]

I met so many passionate people at #SMRRF this year!
I also had lots of questions and conversations about the research we do;

If you're struggling with access to the Journals or would like a free copy of any of the papers, please let me know, I'd be happy to send them over! 🥳

[Matt Whittingham @Matt3DMaker]

I had such an amazing time at #SMRRF! Thanks so much to @E3DOnline for inviting us down 🥳

I've been really inspired from talking to so many brilliant, enthusiastic people, and seeing the response to our research projects and technologies 🥰

@MaxFunkner @ZidyStardust @The_SMF_ @KatzCreates @PrintCityMMU So glad you loved the shirt! It was amazing talking to so many enthusiastic people 🤩

Latest @Act_mmu #OpenAccess paper out in @an_chem from @IanaSpadini's time with us. Replacing 40wt% carbon black with graphite reduces the cost of conductive without hindering the electrochemical performance. @BernalteElena @Matt3DMaker @thiagorlcp https://t.co/C7piSieNAJ
