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.<\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/p>\n

When we came across this story <\/a>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<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n
