YouMagine Community Member Vladimir Kuznetsov uploaded a wonderful design. His design “Digital Fabric” uses a really wonderful technique. He uses the Cura Pause at Height plug in to pause the print and then inserts a mesh like fabric which he fixes to the print. Then he continues the print. This lets you use regular PLA and […]

We’ve been updating and improving the site. In two weeks you’ll be seeing a mayor update to our workflow & new functionality. Print Settings  Some of you may have noticed that we had shown you the relevant 3D printing settings of many models. These settings came from data gathered from Cura on the average slicing […]

OpenROV is one of the coolest open hardware projects out there. One of our Community Members, Andrew David Thaler is a contributor to the project so we reached out to him to explain what OpenROV is all about. Andrew is a deep sea biologist and a conservation geneticist, he is one of the contributors to […]

  BeagleBone is a low-power open-source hardware computer that you can use for projects and prototyping. You can get one over at Beagle Board. The board case is around $60 and has an ARM Cortex processor on it. The guys at 3DHubs want to let anyone 3D print a case for this board so they can […]

Cannybots is an incredibly cool project on YouMagine and Kickstarter. Cannybots is a series of super fun 3D printed car robots meant to get kids involved with technology. They’ve raised $163,000 so far on Kickstarter. For $89 you can get a Cannybot kit on Kickstarter. The video below shows you the Cannybots in action! Cannybots […]

Dialing in your 3D Printer to get the settings right can be a long an arduous process. 3D printers have a lot of variables including: the material, temperature, ambient temperature, humidity, airflow, settings affecting all directions, backlash on parts, the way parts are fitted, electronics, firmware, flow rate and many more. Learning how they interact […]

Designer Laura Thapthimkuna made a beautiful 3D printed dress that she is now trying to get funded on Kickstarter. Her Vortex dress has at the time of writing raised $2000 and you can check out how that’s going here. Why did you turn to 3D printing to make this dress? In my designs I have […]

We’ve integrated 3D Hubs into YouMagine. If you don’t have a 3D printer you can now print any file on YouMagine. We’re interested to see how many people will use this feature and are interested in the designs on the site but don’t own a printer. We’ve switched our search to Apache Solr, redesigned the […]

People make a wide range of things with 3D printing and share them on YouMagine. A category that is perhaps a bit unexpected is 3D printed musical instruments. Below are some fun things to be found on the site that you can print. This 3D printed mouth harp is a modern take on a very […]

As of today we’ve added a “Print on 3DHubs” button to the site. This will let people who don’t have a 3D printer order the wonderful objects we have at YouMagine. They can use 3DHubs to print out lamps, vases, boxes, covers, toys and other lovely things. We hope that this lets people who do […]
