Homemade Metal 3D Printer Isn’t What You Think

By Bill Smith February 1, 2026

A DIY metal 3D printer powered by a laser welder brings industrial-grade additive manufacturing far closer to the garage than anyone imagined. Maker Cranktown City acquired a 2000-watt fibre laser welder from Skyfire and installed it on an outdated 3D printer frame salvaged from a defunct insole-printing business. The ultimate result is solid metal items produced layer by layer with welding wire as the “ink,” demonstrating that very strong lasers often found in factories can now be used on projects at home.

Miniature Kodak Kiosk Lands on the Desk, Thanks to 3D Printing

By Jackson Chung January 31, 2026

James Warner once owned one of those giant Kodak picture-making machines that dominated every drugstore and big-box retailer in the 1990s and early 2000s. You’d walk up to it, insert a memory card or CD, scroll through all of the photographs on the screen, select the ones you liked, maybe add a cool border or some color correction, and walk out with your freshly printed photos just a few minutes later. These machines provided rapid pleasure at a period when home printers struggled with quality and affordability.

Hubble’s New NGC 7722 Image Shows How This Lenticular Galaxy Holds its Secrets in Plain Sight

By Jackson Chung January 31, 2026

Hubble’s stunning views of distant galaxies continue to surprise us, and this latest photo of NGC 7722 serves as a gentle reminder. This lenticular beauty is a true head-scratcher, as it’s located in the constellation Pegasus, a good 187 million light-years away, and it combines characteristics from two sorts of galaxies that you’d expect to see separately. There are the graceful arms of a spiral and the smooth, rounded profile of an elliptical, but NGC 7722 stands out with a pristine disk, no spiral arms, a bright central bulge, and an outside halo that simply glows.
