3d print: happy easter egg

Today I just printed out a bunch of Easter eggs that I hope will be a nice surprise for colleagues (when you’re back in the office sometime). Until then, I’d like to show some, I think quite interesting and successful pictures of the eggs, showing how the layer structures are built up, how something looks like at 300 micrometer layer height in FDM and that, depending on heat and material, sometimes threads form in cavities, which can be ...

Continuum Gaming: Special Episode 210

At the moment it is a bit difficult to print with my new resin based 3d printer, because printing unfortunately consumes a lot of isopropanol. Why is this a problem? Isopropanol is one of the best disinfectants and is used in practically every surface disinfectant and also in many hand disinfectants. Unfortunately, my supply of it is running low (I was very lucky to have a large amount of it at home due to the 3d printing... this makes it ...

Petition Windows 10x for the Surface Duo: Now at 5000 signatures

As many know, the Surface Duo is expected to be shipped with Android. Of course, die-hard Windows fans and privacy-sensitive people don’t like this at all - once Google is in, data theft is almost impossible to get out. Now a milestone has been reached: 5.000 signatures were collected to get a version of the Surface Duo with Windows 10x instead of Android. We don’t know how much a Surface Duo will cost, but it won’t be under 1,000 ...

A peition to get WhatsApp on W10(m) some more

Who like me would like to be on the road with Windows 10 (m) and e.g. a still good Lumia 950/XL or similar Smartphones, should have a look at the following petition.
