![Design Talk - Printing Upside Down For Quality!
In this episode, we will be looking printing upside down to reduce supports and increase quality! In a prior episode we printed the Apollo Astronaut (see more here: http://diy3dtech.com/design-talk-unique-support-ideas/ ) and discussed the possibilities of utilizing unique orientations for general purpose printing. Well after seeing @WinstonMakes on Instagram use the pocket CNC to machine an STL version of the SpaceX Dragon capsule out of Aluminum, I decided that would be a good model to try this process out on using the MonoPrice Mini Delta (see more here: http://diy3dtech.com/monopricemini_delta ). In addition, we used CURA and tree supports as I am playing around more and more with the tree support function CURA as a bit of an organic support engine just to see what is possible.
Thingiverse Model by Zastro: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1802512
Note: As I reviewed the video there where a couple additional points which we felt were worth making.
(1) This (printing upside down) works best if the bed is stationary like with a delta or core x/y. Other it would be possible for the object sway during movement as it would be top heavy.
(2) In reviewing the long time lapse video, the model did move a small amount with the print head near the end. So it was clear a certain amount of drag remained and it increased with height. The good thing is the movement was in step with the hot-end so this should be considered when printing models of this nature.

![Design Talk - 3D Printable Action Camera Cage!
In this episode, we will be taking a look at a rather unique design which we created for the host of Cheap and Cheerful Chinese Action Cameras which have been flooding the market for the past couple years. While the design was specifically created for the COOAU 4K 20MP Wi-Fi Action Camera External Microphone Remote Control EIS Stabilization Underwater 40M Waterproof Sport Camera with two 2X1200mAh Batteries (see more here: http://on-photography.pictures/COOAU_action_camera) which is a great camera vale with external mic. The model will also fit many Cheap and Cheerful Chinese Action Cameras too as the body design appears to be of the same dimensions. Also, the assembly is held together by M4 5mm screws and we happen to like the socket caps (like these: http://on-photography.pictures/m4_screws ) however standard Phillips will also work.
You can find the STLs for the model as well as further assembly information here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4062299

![eBay K40 CO2 Laser - New Safer Cooling Solution!
In this episode, we will be looking at the mounting brackets we designed to attach a 12 volt (DC) pump to our eBay K40 CO2 Laser as I felt uncomfortable droping a Chinese pump with 120 volts in a bucket of water. So this seems to make more sense as it moves 1.8 liters per/min and planing to use power from the laser from itself to drive the pump. There are a couple versions:
1. http://diy3dtech.com/co2_laser_water_pump_w-power-supply as this version comes with its own 12volt power supply so you don have t open the laser and do any wiring.
2. http://diy3dtech.com/co2_laser_water_pump_without-power-supply as this version is half the price of the first, yet you will need to come up with your own power solution.
