    I've always been fascinated by thermal printers – there's something magical about seeing text and images materialize on paper in seconds. But I found that working with them programmatically was always a pain. You either had to deal with ancient printer protocols or use clunky vendor-specific SDKs. So I built Printercow (https://printercow.com) – it turns any thermal printer into an HTTP endpoint with just one command. Technical details: - Supports any ESC/POS compatible printer (Epson, Star Micronics, etc.) - Handles paper widths from 58mm to 120mm - Automatic image dithering…

    Hey HN! I just built PrintSwarm.com, an app that lets you get your 3D models printed by a local printer owner and delivered to you in minutes. Currently just available in NYC. What do you think? The link to the order submission form is here, just fill in the url to the 3d model you'd like to print and tell PrintSwarm where to deliver the completed print: https://printswarm.com Thanks!

    I like to print, but I'm no artist. So I though of turning the full pipeline of my text -> concept images -> 3D mesh -> postprocess for the specific 3D printing workflow -> order it online into a nice UI. You can obv. also just download the STL and print it yourself!

    Struts, nodes, and pins are reversibly assembled into fully 3D printed lattices, trusses, and tree-like structures spanning up to a few meters. I used the system to build a stand for an overhead table lamp which supports a ~1 m cantilevered arm using a tensioned floor-to-ceiling column. If you want to give it a try, find the *.stl files at the bottom of the page; figure ~1 kg of PLA and ~1 day of print time per meter of box truss; pay attention to print orientation; plz respect the license; and definitely print the pin trimming jig.
