Traditionally, 3D printer control boards have used simplistic 8-bit microcontrollers to command the stepper drivers and ultimately move the machine where it needs to go. Newer boards have switched ...

Although we tend to think of 3D printers as high-tech toys, most of them are not especially powerful in the brain department. There are some exceptions, but most 3D printers run on either an 8-bit ...

The Raspberry Pi has gained popularity as a preferred device for controlling 3D printers due to its cost-effectiveness and flexibility. Nonetheless, selecting the most suitable software for your ...

Big Tree Tech, a respected Chinese make of 3d printer parts, has adopted Raspberry Pi’s RP2040 microcontroller to miniaturise a 3D printer controller board. Called ‘SKR Pico V1.0’, the controller has ...

If there were two technological developments representative of the creative future of design and engineering, they'd be the 3D printer and the Raspberry Pi. The former allows you to create just about ...

Microsoft has released a Windows IoT Core app that can add a wireless printing capability to over a dozen types of 3D printer. If you're tired of your computer being tethered to the 3D printer while a ...

3D printer enthusiasts that also enjoy building Raspberry Pi projects might be interested in the new 3D scanner that has been created by combining both a Raspberry Pi mini PC and MATLAB together. The ...

When I bought the Raspberry Pi kit from Amazon, I decided not to get one of the very inexpensive cases that came with some of the kits. My reasoning was that, since I have a 3D printer, I'd make my ...
