From the Shenzhen manufacturing center of the world come two new 3d printers. Yes, yes, another day, another new 3d printer.

X-Master 3d printer

Tecnical specifications:

• 280x240x200 mm large build volume 
• best layer solution of 0.05mm 
• printing speed up to 300cm³
• X-Master is a Plug-and-play device and has an automatic-lock system for safety
• Automatic-lock system ensuring the safety for your kids or pets
• Three shortcut buttons on the body: Print/Door Up/Door Down
• 3.5" HD LCD touch screen for controlling the printing process
• Free and optimised printing software
• >120 hours super long continuous printing

Chinese are coming! Here is the photo gallery by Reddit user Timaz  from 3D China Expo 2013. Some interesting printers there :-)

Ultra-uber-cool! I hope for more improvements, final success in building it and that they open source it.

From project page:

The Challenge: “In one week, can 32 young scientists and designers from China and the UK develop a new type of low-cost scanning probe microscope, powerful enough to study the nano world? And can this device transform science education in Chinese high schools? Tsinghua University, Peking University and University College London team up with the LEGO Foundation to invent, make and market their ideas”
Experts said they couldn't do it… THEY NEARLY DID!

Ok, this is just amazing. Water does not run out trough the openings!




From video description:

Scientists have developed a universal approach for printing materials with easy-to-modify surfaces to eliminate the need for multiple 3D printers. The versatile 3D printing technique mixes a 3D printing resin with a bromine-containing acrylate. The acrylate acts as an initiator to allow polymer brushes to grow on the printed surface. Printed 3D structures are then grafted into useful materials by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerisation.
To test their integrated initiator approach, the group fabricated lattices containing the polymer brushes and modified them to be either superhydrophobic or superhydrophilic. One superhydrophobic structure was in the form of a 2.5 cm diameter hollow mesh ball with 1 mm pores. When filled with water, the hydrophobic ball effectively held the fluid without leakage, even when shaken.
