Yep, you read that right. Someone 3D printed a generator. Even more amazing? They did it right in their own home using 2 desktop 3D printers.
When we came across this story we couldn’t wait to share it with our community. The generator is made up of 60 parts which took a total of 250 hours to print! Be sure to check out the whole story to see exactly how the designer, Even Erichsen, made this generator come to life. From designing in 3D Studio Max to the actual assembly of the finished generator, Even describes his process and what he’s learned.
This project is an amazing example of how 3D printing is used to build things that can solve problems. While everyone might not find a reason to 3D print a generator, most people have issues they run into every single day that could be solved with this technology. Whether it’s a special stand that fits your phone, tablet, etc. or a gadget that keeps your headphones from tangling, a 3D printed product could be the answer you’re looking for!
