AThingiverseuser, Aolesin, has created a 3D printable Cubone mask for Pokémon loving dog owners. Get the modelhere.
Vacuum safety and a matte PLA filament
Ruwac, a manufacturer of industrial vacuum systems, is releasing the NA26 immersion separation vacuum. Additive manufacturing spaces using explosive or impact sensitive materials may produce dust residue near ignition sources, running the risk of explosions. The NA26 safely collects explosive or hot media particles entering the vacuum by immediately submerging them in a turbulent liquid bath.
Colorfabbhave released a new 3D printing filament, PLA Semi-Matte Black. The new filament reduces the glossy appearance of 3D prints with PLA. It does this whilst containing no fibers, which allows designers and engineers to use the printing settings and temperatures they are accustomed to with most PLA filaments.
