Space-X Commercial Crew-1 is Taking Off, Sit Back and 3D Print The Ride

On the evening (EST) of November 15th, NASA will provide coverage (see video above) of the upcoming prelaunch and launch activities for the agency’s SpaceX Commercial Crew-1 mission with astronauts to the International Space Station. In the meantime, you can sit back and enjoy the 3D printed replica of the 4-seat Commercial Crew Dragon capsule, created by Rolls Royce engineer An Duong on his Morethan3D portal.

(Re)discover the 3D printable Free Universal Construction Kit Consumer Products

Typical in 3D printing, where innovation is all too often ahead of its time (ask Janne Kyttanen), great ideas often emerge before a large enough audience exists that can fully appreciate them. One such product is the Free Universal Construction Kit, a project by Golan Levin and Shawn Sims (released through the Free Art and Technology (F.A.T.) Lab and Synaptic Lab collectives) that lets users 3D print over 80 adapters to connect together different construction sets. It was originally released in 2012 but it is as relevant as ever today.
