Ich spreche darüber, warum es im 3D-Druck oft kontraproduktiv ist, jedem helfen zu wollen, anstatt gezielt die Anwendungen zu verfolgen, die echten Mehrwert schaffen. Ich zeige, wie Anwender, Dienstleister und Unternehmen mit klarer Positionierung, dem Mut zum Nein-Sagen und dem Fokus auf konkrete Probleme deutlich mehr Wirkung erzielen können. Außerdem erkläre ich, weshalb echte Hilfe nicht im günstigen Drucken einzelner Teile liegt, sondern darin, Unsicherheiten abzubauen und nachhaltige Lösungen für Kunden und Kollegen zu schaffen.

Last week, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy dismissed his tech-savvy defense minister. That sparked protests among supporters who credit him with helping transform Ukraine's defense capabilities. Special correspondent Simon Ostrovsky and producer Katia Patin report on the technologies and policies that helped drive that transformation.

If you win "Best Feature" at a film festival, but the festival doesn't give you a trophy, can you make your own trophy? Or is that too cringe? Spouses and filmmakers Kaye and Mariel disagree! Their film THE REBRAND (trailer here) won several film festival awards! But most of the festival organizations did not provide trophies, or any physical representation of the win for that matter. Kaye wants to design and 3-D print her own trophies to commemorate the occasion, and to serve as a reminder that "they like her They really like her!" But, while Mariel is proud of the work they have done and the awards they received, she's also trying to rely less on external validation. Who's right?

Ist man clever genug 3D-Druck richtig einzusetzen, so bekommt man alleine durch den Wechsel auf diese Technologie zu Beginn sehr viel geschenkt. Nutzt man dieses Geschenk, dann kann man durchaus glauben, dass es ein unfairer Vorteil ist, über den noch keiner gesprochen hat. So verbirgt 3D-Druck noch viele Geheimnisse, die Ihnen zum großen Mehrwert werden kann. Was daran jetzt so unfair scheint, erfahren Sie in dieser Podcast-Folge.

In dieser Interview‑Folge spreche ich mit meinem Gast Christoph Strasser darüber, warum du im FFF‑3D‑Druck dringend aufhören solltest, Stützstrukturen mühsam "kaputt zu reparieren". Wir decken die größten Denkfehler der Branche auf - von unterschätzter Nacharbeit bis hin zu veralteten Erfahrungen mit klassischen Stützmaterialien. Im Fokus steht eine neue Generation löslicher Stützmaterialien, die automatisiertes Post‑Processing ermöglichen, Bauteildesign neu denken lassen und echte Skalierung schaffen. Diese Folge richtet sich an alle in der 3D‑Druck‑Branche, die ihre Prozesse effizienter gestalten und additive Fertigung wirtschaftlich auf das nächste Level heben wollen.

Chinese malls are rolling out something new: 3D printing stations that let anyone design and print a custom object in under ten minutes. It's easy to dismiss as a fun distraction, but there's a serious push to bring this technology into our homes. The real question isn't about how well the machines work, but whether we'd use one if we had it. / How safe is your delivery meal (17:09)? On the show: Steve, Yushan & Ding Heng

Ich spreche darüber, warum 3D‑Druck im industriellen Umfeld weit mehr ist als Prototypen und wie echte Produktivität erst durch konsequente Umsetzung entsteht. Ich zeige fünf konkrete 3D‑Druck‑Anwendungen - von Montage‑ und Messvorrichtungen bis hin zu Ersatzteilen -, die Mitarbeiter entlasten, Stress reduzieren und Prozesse messbar beschleunigen. Und ich erkläre, warum genau diese einfachen Anwendungen den größten wirtschaftlichen Hebel haben, wenn man aufhört zu diskutieren und anfängt zu machen.

Full Spectrum Cycling Podcast – Episode 333 (333.2) with Allroy from Canada https://youtu.be/xX9fEGCrRhw It doesn’t happen all at once. Usually it’s one bike, one caliper, one cold morning where you squeeze the lever and something is clearly not right. But on Episode 333 of Full Spectrum Cycling, both Sven and Allroy – independently, on different bikes, in different countries – arrived at exactly the same conclusion about hydraulic disc brakes and winter fat biking. They’re done with them. When Hydraulics Quit in the Cold Allroy rides a Norco Bigfoot as his primary winter machine. Last season, one of the Shimano hydraulic calipers blew out. He had a spare cable-actuated brake sitting around, swapped it on, and rode out the rest of the winter without issue. No drama, no performance drop he could actually notice. Sven had a similar story with Magura hydraulics on his fat bike. No crash, no obvious damage – the front brake just stopped having fluid one day. Replaced it with a TRP Spyke cable-actuated caliper and hasn’t looked back. The culprit with hydraulics in cold weather is usually fluid behavior, seal expansion and contraction, and the fact that a small leak or air pocket that’s a nuisance in summer becomes a real problem at -20. Mineral oil brakes (Shimano, Magura, and TRP’s own hydraulic line) handle cold better than DOT fluid systems. Plus, DOT will strip your paint and be a general nightmare but even mineral oil setups aren’t immune to cold-weather issues. Why TRP Spyke and Spyre Are the Answer The difference between a TRP Spyke or Spyre and a mid-range mechanical caliper like a BB7 comes down to pad movement. On a BB7, only one pad moves the other is fixed, which means you end up micro-bending the rotor to make contact. It works, but it’s not ideal. TRP’s mechanical calipers actuate both pads from center, which means you get consistent, even contact and a much cleaner adjustment. The Spyke is the mountain/fat bike version (long pull lever), and the Spyre is the road version (short pull). Both are made by the same people who make Tektro, just at the higher end of the line, and they’re priced reasonably for the quality. The honest take from both Allroy and Sven: on a fat bike, you’re not descending at 60 mph. You’re not shuttle-lapping a bike park. The actual stopping power of a good mechanical disc brake is more than adequate for how fat bikes get ridden, and the reliability advantage in winter is not small. Fat Bike Lab is at 110 Members – and It’s Active The Fat Bike Lab community on Skool is at 110 members and, notably, it’s not a ghost town between November and April. A good chunk of the current engagement is coming from UK riders, who tend to have terrain suited to fat biking year-round and don’t wait for snow to justify riding wide tires. Allroy gave a specific example of what makes the community worth being in: a thread where someone broke down the differences between Manitou fork variants, complete with technical detail that’s hard to find anywhere else. That kind of thread, from people who actually know the equipment, is what makes the community useful rather than just a place to post bike photos. The discussion about adding a “Pantry” section, essentially a classifieds or gear swap area, came up as a logical next step. The idea is to give members a dedicated space to post used gear for sale or trade, separated from general discussion, without turning the whole community into a marketplace. If you’re a fat biker and you’re not already in Fat Bike Lab, it’s worth checking out.https://www.skool.com/fat-bike-lab-4983 Wyatt Bicycles Closes After 15 Years This is a real bummer! Coming from Wisconsin too we are saddened to learn that Wyatt Bicycles, based in Bangor, Wisconsin, closed after 15 years of building American-made aluminum fat bikes. These weren’t budget bikes! They were well-engineered, reasonably priced for US-made product, and built with some smart design thinking around how the chainstay and seat stay yoke were jigged for easy, consistent welding. The story of Wyatt is also the story of what happened to the fat bike industry more broadly. The big brands, Specialized, Trek, and others, came in, made money off the trend, and then dropped fat bikes from their lineups when growth slowed. The small builders who had been doing it seriously before the trend, and kept doing it after, were left trying to survive in a market that had been inflated and then deflated by companies with no long-term commitment to the category. Allroy’s town went from four bike shops to zero. The closest option is now a 20-30 minute drive to a big-box franchise. The same pattern is playing out in Milwaukee, where COVID accelerated shop closures that were already underway. None of this means fat biking is dying, the Fat Bike Lab community is proof of that, but the retail and manufacturing infrastructure that supported it is thinner than it was five years ago. North American Brands Worth Supporting The conversation moved naturally into brands that are still doing things right. A few that came up: We Are One Composites – Canadian carbon rim manufacturer, making wheels that save real weight without the overseas price-to-quality lottery. Seeley Dave went North American for a summer wheelset build and landed on We Are One after running the numbers on a full US build with Onyx hubs, Bird Spokes, and Velocity rims. 9.8 Components – Also Canadian, makes dropper posts and the inverted-style flat pedals that Tony is a dedicated fan of. The dropper posts are fully user-serviceable if you want to do the maintenance yourself, or you can send them back. That repairability matters for a component that takes a beating. Onyx Racing Products – are made in Minnesota by Christianson Systems, a family-run machining operation that originally built farm equipment. The hub line started with BMX racing and has since grown into arguably the most comprehensive hub catalog in cycling covering BMX, mountain, road, gravel, fat bike, park, and track, with hundreds of configuration options across axle standards, driver bodies, colors, and their Classic and Vesper weight tiers. The engineering centerpiece is a patented sprag clutch mechanism which delivers completely silent coasting, zero drag, and engagement so fast it’s effectively instantaneous. Every hub ships with ceramic hybrid bearings as standard. For fat biking specifically, the combination of instant power transfer and dead-silent rolling makes them a standout choice, and the fact that they’re built in the U.S. and backed by a company that has been doing precision machining long before cyclists discovered them doesn’t hurt either. The Beer, the 3D Printer, and Everything Else JK brought an Abita Brewing “Jockamo” Juicy IPA from New OrleansABV 6%, 30 IBU and Jazz Fest-approved. Allroy went with Rouge River “Hop Eye” Hazy IPA at 6.8%, purchased from his local government agency store now that corner stores in Ontario carry beer. Both received passing marks. Sven’s 3D printing setup was on display during the show, and Allroy’s son has been printing glow-in-the-dark Godzilla figures and working through a backlog of functional and decorative projects. If you’re new to 3D printing, the first thing you print is a Benchy. It is law. Allroy also got out for a three-day bikepacking trip with Rory – described as genuine Goldilocks conditions, meaning no rain, no mechanicals, and no regrets. He’s hoping to get back out in August. And Sven’s birthday is July 4th, which coincides this year with the United States’ 250th anniversary. He has complicated feelings about competing with the entire country for his own birthday!

Ich spreche darüber, warum 3D‑Druck nicht an Bauteilen scheitert, sondern daran, dass entscheidende Situationen im Unternehmen gar nicht als Problem erkannt werden. Ich zeige, wie falsche Kommunikation, Technik‑Fokus und "Vorteils‑Bingo" verhindern, dass 3D‑Druck echte Entlastung, Zeitgewinn und Kostenvorteile bringt. Und ich erkläre, warum 3D‑Druck immer dann eingesetzt werden muss, wenn Stress, Blockaden und Ineffizienz entstehen - lange bevor jemand über das nächste Bauteil nachdenkt.

Here on Afternoons we're all about celebrating people doing great things. And our next guest fits that bill brilliantly. A Hawkes Bay man is using his 3D printer to manufacture colourful custom wheelchairs to get kids with mobility issues moving. It gets better - he's paying for the whole thing himself. Louwrens Burger chats to Jesse.

Deborah starts the show with the best use for 3d printing, asking you to guess what animal a 3d printer helped? Marineland mammals get a new life in America. Can a turtle 'learn'? When the dogs signal 'stay where you are', and the man says 'come on through' Deb says listen to the dog, ignore the man. When dogs aren't socialized properly to kids and odd things like scooters and wheelchairs, bad things happen, so do your due diligence to teach your dogs what is ok, and kids are ok! Remarkable Serval cat facts. Deb talks about different mama dogs she's experienced over the years and how they almost always want no other dogs around their newborns, but this mama doodle dog welcomes the poodle papa into the whelping pen like a wolf throwback.

Jon Westfall and I kicked off episode 607 with the news that Tim Cook is stepping down as Apple's CEO to become Chairman, with John Ternus taking the helm this September. We speculated that his leadership might usher in a full "Neo" ecosystem—budget-friendly iPads and iPhones—that could finally bring the cost of a complete Apple setup under $1,500 for students. Jon is already leaning into this student-centric future by using NotebookLM to "chunk" his 75-minute lectures into digestible videos and activities, a strategy that is saving him hours of summer prep. I spent some time on a "mini rant" about the state of budget Android tablets; while you can find great hardware for under $150, these devices almost never receive security or OS updates, effectively making them disposable e-waste. On the infrastructure side, the "router apocalypse" continues as the FCC's ban on foreign-made hardware looms, though Amazon Eero recently secured an exemption through October 2027. To prepare for a post-exemption world, I'm preparing to experiment with OpenWrt on an old travel router. We wrapped up with a look at the startling 2026 price hikes for storage—where a SSD drive that cost $350 last year is now nearly $1,000—and a discussion of encouraging  maker culture for young people. We debated whether encouraging preteens to use 3D printers and AI coding tools like Codex is better than traditional hobbies, reflecting on the Heathkits and "dangerous" chemistry sets of my own youth.

This week's pod, we dive deep into two heavy topics around well-meaning government laws that have far-reaching negative effects on technology.

This episode is a hybrid Neph 2 America + NDS Chronicles, and it gets weird fast.Raven and TopLobsta bounce between dreams, personal paranormal experiences, and listener-style storytelling while reacting in real time to strange encounters and spiritual moments.The conversation starts with a vivid dream discussion, including talking in your sleep, recurring dream behavior, and how dreams can feel more real than reality. From there it spirals into stories involving demonic encounters, astral-like experiences, and moments where perception and reality blur together.Topics include:A detailed dream breakdown and sleep behavior discussionTalking about invoking the “blood of Christ” inside a dreamPersonal college paranormal experiencesSeeing things astrally from another roomCalling out something as a literal demonic presenceThe hilarious but bizarre “ghost car” bitDiscussion of whether listeners should submit their own stories to NDS ChroniclesThis episode feels less like a structured show and more like a late-night conversation where everything drifts between comedy, theology, and the supernatural.

get strong California Wants to Ban 3D Printers | Episode 593 Good morning. This is James from SurvivalPunk.com. It's 29 degrees. The coffee didn't start. The breaker tripped. My headphones weren't charged. My phone was at 9%. I forgot my medicine and had to turn around in the driveway. So yeah — we're already off to a strong start. And today we're talking about something equally annoying: California trying to ban certain 3D printers. Not because they're dangerous. Not because they're exploding. But because the government is afraid of what people might do with them. Let's get into it. The Headline Is Clickbait… But Also Not The headline reads something like: “California to Ban 3D Printers.” That's bombastic. That's designed to grab attention. But it's not entirely wrong. What they're really trying to do is ban non-approved 3D printers, restrict file sharing, and criminalize ways of bypassing those restrictions — all aimed at stopping people from printing “ghost guns.” Ghost guns meaning: firearms printed from polymer without serial numbers. Here's the issue. This isn't a widespread crisis. This is government reacting to a hypothetical problem. 3D Printers Are Still in Their Infancy 3D printers right now are like computers in 1992. How many people had one back then? A few. Most of them weren't doing anything groundbreaking. They were playing Oregon Trail. That's where 3D printing is right now. If you think of ten people you know, maybe one owns a 3D printer. And of those owners? How many are truly using them to their full potential? Most of them sit there like a treadmill with clothes hanging on it. The narrative being pushed makes it sound like garages across America are mass-producing plastic arsenals. That's just not reality. Government Overreach Is the Real Pattern This isn't about safety. It's about control. We've seen this pattern before: Rainwater catchment restrictions.Filter bans.Endless regulatory creep. Every time there's a new tool that increases individual capability, the instinct is to regulate it before it's even a measurable threat. And once a government starts restricting hardware, restricting file sharing, and criminalizing workarounds — that's not about safety anymore. That's about controlling information and capability. That should concern you whether you own a 3D printer or not. Are 3D Printed Guns Even a Real Issue? Here's a question: How many major shootings have involved fully 3D-printed firearms? Not hypotheticals. Not headlines. Not fear narratives. Actual confirmed cases. Very, very few — if any. Most violent crime still involves traditional firearms obtained through traditional means. So we're building legislation around something that's statistically insignificant. Meanwhile, 3D printers are used to make: ToolsRepair partsAdaptersHobby projectsPrototypesFunctional survival gear But because something could be misused, we're talking about banning the tool entirely. That's backwards. If You Live There… You Already Know At some point, you have to ask: Why are you staying in a state that constantly moves the goalposts? You can fight every single regulation. You can try to out-argue lawmakers. Or you can recognize patterns. When governments show you who they are repeatedly, believe them. Sometimes the most strategic move isn't fighting every skirmish. It's relocating to ground that isn't actively hostile to your independence. Freedom isn't about screaming at politicians. It's about positioning yourself where you don't need their permission. Final Thoughts This isn't about 3D printers. It's about capability. Every time technology empowers individuals, there will be pressure to restrict it. The question is simple: Do you want a society where tools are allowed unless proven dangerous? Or one where tools are restricted because someone might misuse them? Preppers understand this better than most. Capability equals resilience. Resilience equals freedom. And freedom doesn't survive well under constant regulation. This is James from SurvivalPunk.com.

Alastair Jennings has been reviewing cameras for a very long time. A chance digression led him to review one of the first RepRap 3D printers. Since then, Alastair has reviewed many dozens of 3D printers over the years for various leading websites, national newspapers, and magazines. He has dozens of systems at home and uses them to make props, camera add-ons, and much more for his work at the local college, where he teaches. Alastair’s knowledge of desktop machines is deep and vast. At the same time, he is also honest and direct; he doesn’t mince his words. We talk to Alastair about the development of desktop 3D printers over the past decade, milestone 3D printers, good printers now, and much more. We talk about the current flock of systems in a very open way and hope that you appreciate Alastair’s deep insight and candor.

Oscar Castaño Linares is a professor at the University of Barcelona and a researcher at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia in the department of Biomaterials for Regenerative Therapies. Through his research, Oscar has been working with 3D printers to print scaffolds that enhance the growth of blood vessels. These are like homes for cells to inhabit, so they have to be porous, biodegradable, and non-toxic. Like a craftsman learning a trade, Oscar's research has taken him all over the world to learn new techniques, but with the goal of transferring that knowledge to his students and to other scientists. Oscar joins us to share how he can print these biomaterials while describing his path in science that led him to this research.

In this episode, I am joined by my colleague, Keyah Frazier, for a deep dive into the art of goal setting and vision planning. We explore the power of incorporating new ideas—like setting a "theme" for the year—to maintain long-term motivation. We also compare their individual goal-setting styles, highlighting that there is no "one-size-fits-all" approach to personal growth. Whether you are a rigid planner or a fluid dreamer, this conversation is all about discovering the unique systems that work best for you.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop interviews Aurelio Gialluca, an economist and full stack data professional who works across finance, retail, and AI as both a data engineer and machine learning developer, while also exploring human consciousness and psychology. Their wide-ranging conversation covers the intersection of science and psychology, the unique cultural characteristics that make Argentina a haven for eccentrics (drawing parallels to the United States), and how Argentine culture has produced globally influential figures from Borges to Maradona to Che Guevara. They explore the current AI landscape as a "centralizing force" creating cultural homogenization (particularly evident in LinkedIn's cookie-cutter content), discuss the potential futures of AI development from dystopian surveillance states to anarchic chaos, and examine how Argentina's emotionally mature, non-linear communication style might offer insights for navigating technological change. The conversation concludes with Gialluca describing his ambitious project to build a custom water-cooled workstation with industrial-grade processors for his quantitative hedge fund, highlighting the practical challenges of heat management and the recent tripling of RAM prices due to market consolidation.Timestams00:00 Exploring the Intersection of Psychology and Science02:55 Cultural Eccentricity: Argentina vs. the United States05:36 The Influence of Religion on National Identity08:50 The Unique Argentine Cultural Landscape11:49 Soft Power and Cultural Influence14:48 Political Figures and Their Cultural Impact17:50 The Role of Sports in Shaping National Identity20:49 The Evolution of Argentine Music and Subcultures23:41 AI and the Future of Cultural Dynamics26:47 Navigating the Chaos of AI in Culture33:50 Equilibrating Society for a Sustainable Future35:10 The Patchwork Age: Decentralization and Society35:56 The Impact of AI on Human Connection38:06 Individualism vs. Collective Rules in Society39:26 The Future of AI and Global Regulations40:16 Biotechnology: The Next Frontier42:19 Building a Personal AI Lab45:51 Tiers of AI Labs: From Personal to Industrial48:35 Mathematics and AI: The Foundation of Innovation52:12 Stochastic Models and Predictive Analytics55:47 Building a Supercomputer: Hardware InsightsKey Insights1. Argentina's Cultural Exceptionalism and Emotional Maturity: Argentina stands out globally for allowing eccentrics to flourish and having a non-linear communication style that Gialluca describes as "non-monotonous systems." Argentines can joke profoundly and be eccentric while simultaneously being completely organized and straightforward, demonstrating high emotional intelligence and maturity that comes from their unique cultural blend of European romanticism and Latino lightheartedness.2. Argentina as an Underrecognized Cultural Superpower: Despite being introverted about their achievements, Argentina produces an enormous amount of global culture through music, literature, and iconic figures like Borges, Maradona, Messi, and Che Guevara. These cultural exports have shaped entire generations worldwide, with Argentina "stealing the thunder" from other nations and creating lasting soft power influence that people don't fully recognize as Argentine.3. AI's Cultural Impact Follows Oscillating Patterns: Culture operates as a dynamic system that oscillates between centralization and decentralization like a sine wave. AI currently represents a massive centralizing force, as seen in LinkedIn's homogenized content, but this will inevitably trigger a decentralization phase. The speed of this cultural transformation has accelerated dramatically, with changes that once took generations now happening in years.4. The Coming Bifurcation of AI Futures: Gialluca identifies two extreme possible endpoints for AI development: complete centralized control (the "Mordor" scenario with total surveillance) or complete chaos where everyone has access to dangerous capabilities like creating weapons or viruses. Finding a middle path between these extremes is essential for society's survival, requiring careful equilibrium between accessibility and safety.5. Individual AI Labs Are Becoming Democratically Accessible: Gialluca outlines a tier system for AI capabilities, where individuals can now build "tier one" labs capable of fine-tuning models and processing massive datasets for tens of thousands of dollars. This democratization means that capabilities once requiring teams of PhD scientists can now be achieved by dedicated individuals, fundamentally changing the landscape of AI development and access.6. Hardware Constraints Are the New Limiting Factor: While AI capabilities are rapidly advancing, practical implementation is increasingly constrained by hardware availability and cost. RAM prices have tripled in recent months, and the challenge of managing enormous heat output from powerful processors requires sophisticated cooling systems. These physical limitations are becoming the primary bottleneck for individual AI development.7. Data Quality Over Quantity Is the Critical Challenge: The main bottleneck for AI advancement is no longer energy or GPUs, but high-quality data for training. Early data labeling efforts produced poor results because labelers lacked domain expertise. The future lies in reinforcement learning (RL) environments where AI systems can generate their own high-quality training data, representing a fundamental shift in how AI systems learn and develop.
