Interfacing a shaft to a 3D printed gear doesn’t have to be tricky. [Tlalexander] demonstrated a solution that uses one half of a spider coupling (or jaw coupling) to create an effective modular ...

Attaching motor shafts to 3D printed devices can be tricky, and in the past we’ve seen a clever solution that is worth keeping in mind: half of a spider coupling (or jaw coupling) can be an ...

Now, engineers have managed to produce extremely fine fibers inspired by spider silk and hagfish slime. A team of international researchers has used a new 3D-printing technique to create ...
