Maker Jón Schone recently showcased a slick new design that bridges the chasm between his first love of 3D printing - and hot glue guns. Earlier this week, on Schone’s YouTube channel ‘Proper ...

Printing with soft and brittle materials like hot glue requires careful design considerations. Using brass tubes and 3D-printed parts, you must iterate on designs to improve functionality and safety.

[Proper Printing] didn’t just think it, he’s made a working hot glue 3D printer. As you’d expect ... He already has his own design for an extruder for larger diameters, so he mates this ...

In context: Several recent experiments have broadened the potential applications for 3D printing. Although most users wouldn't consider hot glue a viable building material, it has important ...
