I made a 1m wingspan flying wing RC airplane that prints in a single Form 4L build in just a few parts. Print-in-place, flexural control surfaces for improved aerodynamics and reduced assembly.

It actually survived 2 flights! 3rd one ended because of an unfortunately placed fence...

Is this useful for anything?

Now you can really see everything

@broblas This one is Alpha Black

M2 threads are also working, just a bit more friction.

[Maxim Lobovsky @MaxLobovsky]

Professional level resin 3d printer now available for $700.

One cool thing you can do with it - print threads down to m2.5 directly in any orientation. No insert or soldering iron needed.

Why is it so important for US tech companies to build data centers in the US (as far as the companies are concerned)? Don't they have other places they can build data centers?

[Maxim Lobovsky @MaxLobovsky]

@mattparlmer This is literally the same applications shown by Boston Dynamics. If it's a psyop, it was ours and it's working.

@renonce4 Ben said it's at 15 bar and easily verifiable based on the presence of liquid ammonia and the temperature. I trust him more than you 😉

Transparent manifold with 500um features holding 15 bar +elastomer gaskets made on a $700 printer.

Formlabs just launched Form Studio 1, a professional resin 3D printer that starts at $699. It's been a delight to work with the Formlabs team over the past decade helping in a tiny way to create the best 3D resin printers in the world.

@bloodiedwombat @blind_via Here is an even crazier photo of what happens when the train derails

[Maxim Lobovsky @MaxLobovsky]

@TonyWunderbar It's slop. Haven't actually cleared it out yet

[Maxim Lobovsky @MaxLobovsky]

Flipping through a deck of planned lab renovations and spotted one slide spec'ing a warehouse party while the space is empty.

[Maxim Lobovsky @MaxLobovsky]

@TonyWunderbar Yes. Resorting the building with big printers on the bottom

[Maxim Lobovsky @MaxLobovsky]

3D printing and robotics go together like hand and tendon.

[Christopher Helmke @ChrisH_elmke]

16DOF, FOC, 2 tendons per joint..
printed on @formlabs Form4 in Tough2000 thanks for the great printer! @MaxLobovsky

[Maxim Lobovsky @MaxLobovsky]

@AdamPaigge Have you tried Formlabs products? They are much lower odor. Form Studio 1 is the first UL Greenguard resin printer with low VOC emissions

[Maxim Lobovsky @MaxLobovsky]

Join us if you are a cracked engineer and want to work on hard problems.

[Maxim Lobovsky @MaxLobovsky]

@Copasetic_ILL @MercuriusFilius What if they are irrational?

[Maxim Lobovsky @MaxLobovsky]

One of the most important pieces of "market research" I did for the Form Studio was asking Formerlings what they would pay to have a Form 4 at home. 5 out of 5 said "up to $1000”

[Clem @KodaClement]

paying back the ol’ employer 💅

[Maxim Lobovsky @MaxLobovsky]

I'm lucky enough to have spent time with both of those wise engineers.

Here are two of the next generation. If you recognize them consider joining @formlabs

[Maxim Lobovsky @MaxLobovsky]

That's a great idea. Good fit for SLA to print fluid lines/manifolds for gas. Maybe using a small co2 cylinder for the gas source. Not sure how to do the valves...

If anyone can make a half decent design for this, we will give them a Form Studio 1.

[Joel Telling - 3D Printing Nerd ✋ @joeltelling]

Serious question: could this be done at a smaller scale? Meaning, could an STL be 3d printed and then this propulsion system be used for an RC version?
