The Form 1+ is a very capable 3D printer for a number of reasons. Among the most important is that the Form 1+ has extremely good repeatability. If you print the same model a dozen times in a row, it will come out of the printer exactly the same very time. This is...

The Form 1+ uses stereolithography rather than fused filament fabrication (FFF). Instead of taking a plastic filament, melting it, and pushing it through a little hole onto the build platform like most desktop 3D printers do, the Form 1+ uses a light-sensitive resin,...

Getting an FCC License to Fly FPV One thing most multirotor pilots interested in flying with FPV technology don’t realize is that one of the prerequisites to flying FPV is getting an amateur radio licence from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)....

An Introduction to FPV We all know humans can’t fly. Our bones are far too dense and flapping our arms does not produce adequate lift to overcome the pull of gravity, but luckily we can use technology to give us the experience of flying. I’m not talking...
