Last fall, ELEGOO sent me their Mars Pro MSLA 3D printer to take a look at

I was very impressed with that affordable little printer’s capabilities, as my review can attest to. While ELEGOO is best known for their resin printers, they also have an FDM printer, the Neptune 2. If you’re unfamiliar with the two types of 3D printing, here’s a quick primer again on SLA and FDM: SLA vs. FDM: The Two Types of 3D Printing Briefly, for our readers who aren’t that familiar with 3D printers but are thinking about dipping their toes in the water: There are essentially two types of printers available: stereolithographic (SLA) and fused deposition modeling (FDM).

Also, I was scheduled to see the naturopath for some medical...

But even if NASA can’t meet the aggressive timeline they’ve been given by the White House, it seems inevitable that there will be fresh boot prints on the lunar surface within the coming decades. Between commercial operators and international competition, we’re seeing the dawn of a New Space Race, with the ultimate goal being the long-term habitation of our nearest celestial neighbor. An Apollo astronaut covered in lunar dust But even with modern technology,...

What Will We Do with the Turbine Blades?

As the global climate emergency continues to loom over human civilization, feverish work is underway around the world to find technical and political solutions to the problem.
