There is something very satisfying about physical knobs and buttons. Unlike various software sliders that you drag with your cursor, you can feel when a real button clicks and get a perfect sense of scale when you rotate a physical knob…
There are a number of 3D printing applications that can make a big difference in someone’s quality of life. The e-NABLE and Team UnLimbited projects, which create free 3D printed hands and arms for those in need of an upper limb…
Robots, automatic pet feeders, movie props, drones – the list of cool projects that combine the power of 3D printing and electronics is endless. That said, some if not most of the projects can be pretty intimidating. And you can get…
