๐ฅ Hello Mastodon! The pre-Launch of our project Liquid Blade 3D is now live on Kickstarter! LB3D is an add-on system that lets any maker cut, etch and engrave metal using the 3D printer you already own. Your support, whether backing, sharing, or just spreading the word, means the world to a startup like us. โค๏ธ ๐๐ Bookmark the project on Kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/athenatech/liquid-blade-3d-cut-and-etch-metal-with-your-3d-printer Where are the makers, creatives and 3D pr...

Some #pcb we etched with our machine! Fun fact: with Liquid Blade 3D you can also #etch #flexpcb :blobfox_explode: We are launching our Kickstarter on Monday :blabcatpeek: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/athenatech/liquid-blade-3d-cut-and-etch-metal-with-your-3d-printer We are looking for #makers, #artists, #3Dprint experts to give us some #feedback! What would you do with it?

A little fun project cutting a #origami #fox out of copper with our system Liquid Blade and a Creality Ender 3! We just launched our Kickstarter campaign, give it a look: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/athenatech/liquid-blade-3d-cut-and-etch-metal-with-your-3d-printer #3dprinting #metal #fediart

We just launched our campaign on #Kickstarter! 10% of the goal in one day :blobcat_praise: We though there were a lot of makers, engineers, artists, crafters and diy people here on the Fediverse! Where are all mad scientists on Fedi?!? :blobcat_engineer: #3dprint #maker #art

Testing a new improved version of our custom peristaltic pump we use to pump the liquid solution around the system! We are very proud of our pump :blobcat_engineer: It&#39;s a small wifi and usb-c powered pump that push the solution around without ever touching it. It can be used in any situation when you want to move a liquid without contaminate it.

A little experiment to show our vision after Liquid Blade: 3D printing metal with electrochemistry! Using the same concept of Liquid Blade 3D, but in reverse and instead of removing material we can add it via an electrochemical water jet. No high pressure, no heat, no smoke. Help us bring this technology to every #maker and #creative , back us up on Kickstarter! :blobcat_engineer:

๐งโ๐ฌ Is Liquid Blade tingling your inner mad scientist? Good! For this #BlackFriday, if you support us ordering Liquid Blade before next Tuesday, we will send you a kit with all the ingredients and a blank to experiment with Titanium for free! ๐คฏ Curious how? In the next days, we will show how to prepare the solution and post our tests on etching and cutting one of the hardest metal out there! ๐คโก Stay tuned! #metalwork #titanium #3Dprinting #Science #electronic

๐ซฃ A quick sneak peak of the titanium etch we did today with Liquid Blade 3D! You can see the liquid forming a small hole where it hits the material. We will post the full video on our socials soon, explaining how to prepare the solution and the machine for this metal! Check our Kickstarter, link in bio! #crowdfunding #3dprinting #kickstarter #tech

You can also cut and engrave metal and create amazing #jewellery with Liquid Blade and a 3D printer. It uses electrochemistry (water+electricity) to remove and cut all kinds of metals. โก๐ง The process makes no heat or smoke and it is perfectly safe to use at home! #earrings #3dprinting #tech #art #creative

One of the best use of Liquid Blade is etching and cutting flex pcb at home! You can easily remove the copper without touching the kapton layer under it. ๐ซ No heat, smoke or loud noises! Perfect tool for your next #wearable #prototype ! Check our Kickstarter campaign. #3dprinting #innovation #electronics #tech

We tested Liquid Blade mounted on a Creality Ender 3 on a piece of 1 mm steel and the results are amazing! ๐คฏ You can see the water jet eroding and removing a little bit of material at each pass. We also improved our nozzle design making it more easy to assemble and overall more reliable. #Technology #3dprinting #diy #Electronics

&quot;Rather than ripping into the metal with a sharp bit, the Liquid Blade has a small peristaltic pump forcing a small jet of solution onto the metal, which electrochemically eats a controlled amount away. This absence of thermal stress and physical contact suggests the tool could be particularly effective for delicate tasks where warping or burrs are a concern.&quot; Thanks to All3DP for their article about our project Liquid Blade 3D ๐ https://all3dp.com/4/liquid-blade-3d-kickstar...

An example of PCB etching with a Creality #Ender 3 and how to clean the copper after the process. Our Kickstarter is 100% funded so now it&#39;s all about improving the process for a cleaner, more precise etch ๐งโ๐ฌ What metal would you like to see next? #3dprint #tech #pcb #diy

We reached 30.000 โฌ in funding on @kickstarter ! ๐คฏ๐ฅ We are absolutely overwelmed by all the support received on Liquid Blade and we can&#39;t wait to start the production and put the system in the hands of our makers! We have 3 days left before the campaign is officially closed but you can still get your Liquid Blade 3D system at a discounted price! Hurry up! ๐ซฃ #3dprinting #crowdfunding #tech
