If you frequently use a 3D printer for your projects then you may experience issues calculating the material weight and length usage. If so, then you might be interested in this project using Arduino.

The printer will be powered by the Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller board and is created in partnership with Sharebot, a 3D printing company also based in Italy.

Arduino, maker of the open source hardware platform of the same name, is teaming up with a startup called Sharebot to sell a 3D printer for about $1,000.

The 3D printer parts are used to construct the frame and various mechanical components of the machine. The Arduino Nano serves as the brain of the operation, executing the code that dictates the ...

There are some exceptions, but most 3D printers run on either an 8-bit Arduino or some Arduino variant with a lot of I/O.

3D printing is the future, but it can be your present with this space-efficient desktop printer for just $600 today . That's over $200 less than we'v ...

The Arduino Materia 101 will be powered by the company's own Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller and true to their roots, it'll be offered both as a kit and pre-assembled.

Arduino may be known for revolutionizing open source hardware platforms, but this week enters the 3D printer market with the small and (relatively) affordable Materia 101. Produced in partnership ...
