Latest commission. A Fujifilm C3530 printer MOC made for their recent NZ product launch. The last release in this particular range, “the final piece of the puzzle” was the tagline. 50% scale.
Would have made the lid open and using SNOT techniques given more time, but that’s always the kicker, isn’t it? More time!

We had a 3D printer up here earlier in Expedition 42. Print jobs were sent from the ground, we only had to remove the printed object and get the tray ready for the next run. That facility, the Microgravity Science Glovebox (MSG), has been used for other experiments in the meantime. You’ll have to ask Terry about the details, though, he’s been our MSG guy so far.

Europe’s first 3D printer designed for use in weightlessness, printing aerospace-quality plastics, has won the prestigious Aerospace Applications Award from design-to-manufacturing specialist TCT Magazine.
ESA’s Manufacturing of Experimental Layer Technology (MELT) project printer has to be able to operate from any orientation – up, down or sideways – in order to serve in microgravity conditions aboard the International Space Station. Based on the ‘fuse filament fabrication’ process, it has been designed to fit within a standard ISS payload rack, and to meet the Station’s rigorous safety standards.
The MELT printer can print a wide variety of thermoplastics from ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), as used in Lego, up to high-melting point engineering thermoplastics such PEEK (Polyether ether ketone), which is robust enough to substitute for metal materials in some cases.
“This printer could be used to make parts on demand for the repair and maintenance of a long-duration orbital habitat,” explains ESA materials and processes engineer Ugo Lafont. “This printer would also benefit human bases on planetary surfaces. Crucially, it can also print using recycled plastics, allowing a whole new maintenance strategy based on closed-loop reuse of materials.”
The printer was produced for ESA by a consortium led by Sonaca Space GmbH together with BeeVeryCreative, Active Space Techologies SA and OHB-System AG.
The MELT project was supported through ESA’s Technology Development Element programme, which identifies promising technologies for space, then demonstrates their workability.

I have a handful of old printers boxes that I will use for decorating or storage....in this digital art, it's the background to hold these treasures. I actually have some of these things in my printers box....along witha few photos....

Printer's Alley is a famous alley in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, U.S., between Third and Fourth Avenues, running from Union Street to Commerce Street. The portion of the alley between Union and Church Street is the home of a nightclub district that dates back to the 1940s.

Sinclair ZX80 home computer + ZX printer.
In order to use the printer with the ZX80, the 8KB ROM upgrade was needed.
The computer became commercially available in 1980; the spark printer was released in 1981, intended for use with the ZX81.
Gary is helping me to get my new printer set up. Here he is supervising while I put in the new ink cartridges. Is was really nice to have his help!
