Pro Application of the Week
Texas spring shop cuts fixture costs by half with high-temperature FDM.

Before Diamond Wire Spring Co., in Tyler, Texas, got in-house 3D printing capability, spring grinding fixture plates were machined out of steel by an outside machine shop, which was twice as costly and slow, says Keegan Yingling, the maintenance manager, who also has his own 3D printing side hustle. "For this application, we needed a material with strong mechanical properties and a high heat deflection temperature – springs get very hot when you grind them." They chose a PPA with 15% carbon fiber form 3DXTech on their Qidi Tech FDM.

Come Together
Lychee released version 7.4 last month, adding multi-plate functions to the popular resin slicer's free version.

Users can now split their projects into up to 49 different beds, slice them altogether, then print each for both resin and FDM projects. It's a useful feature for project organization that will be familiar to users of Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer, and other slicers. It's also great for making some multi-color prints if you don't have a multi-material system.

To celebrate the release, Lychee is offering 1 month of free Lychee Slicer Plus or Lychee Library with the code "MULTIPLATE-LYCHEE".

"let's risk a slice without a skirt on"
Move over, pop stars — there's a new nozzle in town.

Jeff, a 3D printing engineer, musician, and possibly the only man to rhyme “CoreXY” with “nozzle size,” released what's sure to be an industry anthem: “Just As Long As We FDM.” Backed by a fleet of 3D printed instruments, Jeff's shockingly catchy ode to print beds, hotends, and the seductive complexities of infill percentages, is sure to earn him a cult following — mostly among makers, tinkerers, and a rogue choir of middle school shop teachers. Bravo, Jeff. You’ve extruded your way into our hearts. Song starts at min. 32:30.
