If you work in science or a science related field stop reading here and go buy a 3D printer. If you keep reading, it’s basically just stubbornness on your part and by the end you’ll regret using this time letting me convince you, instead of browsing for 3D printers from the Read more…
A few weeks back, I ran a competition called #GooglyScience. I challenged my readers to post pictures of various bits of scientific equipment with googly eyes, because who doesn’t love googly eyes! For the prize, I promised to send out to the winners their very own 3D printed phage. Which Read more…
Next week Errant Science turns 2!! Pretty exciting stuff, I know. What I’d love to do is take a bit of time to look back over the last 2 years and talk about how it developed, what it means to me, and how amazing it is to get this far. Read more…
This guide serves two purposes. Firstly, it’s for anyone who enjoys sarcasm, reading stories of despair, and watching a man loose a battle of wits with a machine. Secondly, anyone with an Ultimaker 2 printer might want to read this to know what not to do. Step 1 – Start a Read more…
Today I wrote a guest article for the online magazine Inside 3DP because… well they asked nicely. First you should totally go read the article as it gives you a little insight into my research with 3D printing then come back here because below is a gallery of all the things Read more…
New lab equipment is awesome. But it often takes weeks of carefully crafting a grant application, months of tortuous waiting for approval and then even more months of waiting for delivery. Once it arrives it’s almost like a dream coming true, a sublime moment of joy at have a new piece of Read more…
As you may know, I am using 3D printing for my cBAM project to create some impossibly complex shapes that can be easily reproduced with very high tolerance on angles etc. My little microscope has now gone through about 7 re-designs since I started, and with each one I’ve learnt Read more…
