3D printers have definitely turned many industries on its head, providing access to production capabilities that are usually only reserved for big companies. These impressive machines have opened the doors to smaller players and individuals, allowing them to move from idea to finished product in days rather than weeks. When it comes to creating something in this fast-paced world, time is always of the essence, and there can be no second lost or wasted, even when it comes to producing prototypes. 3D printers already take the middle man out of the equation, but there’s definitely a lot of room for improvement. That’s where the Flashforge Guider 3 Plus comes in, offering a 3D printer that keeps you agile and responsive by 3D printing your ideas and designs in no time flat.

The first 3D printers already seemed like a miracle in their ability to make something appear almost out of thin air without requiring costly molds and large production lines. They seem less magical, however, when you start waiting for them to finish with their task, though it still manages to significantly reduce the waiting time compared to traditional manufacturing methods. That waiting period will still cost you time and money, which is why the Guider 3 Plus 3D printer delivers that much-needed speed boost without sacrificing quality, stability, and safety.

The 3D printer’s CoreXY structure can support high-speed printing at 250mm/s, a 50% speed increase compared to ordinary 3D printers. Despite that speed, however, the Guider 3 Plus still manages to keep the noise down to below 50db. More importantly, it also operates stably and smoothly even if you’re printing 24/7. With its speed, it can print a 29*27*43cm architectural model with an irregular shape in just 72 hours, halving the time it would usually take other 3D printers to finish.

Print results from different dimensions.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg, though, since the Flashforge Guider 3 Plus can do more and print bigger models. In fact, its ability to print models up to 350*350*600mm in size means it can meet the requirements of many prototyping models, not to mention finished products. Although it’s superb for prototyping, this 3D printer is also capable of producing models with quality surface finish, high level of detail, irregular shapes, and geometric accuracy. Its open material system also makes it compatible with different kinds of filaments from third-party brands, which means you can print almost anything you need for your next big project or product launch.

Flashforge also has a wide range of 3D printing solutions for different needs. The Guider 3, for example, is great for companies that need to produce small batches of products, while the Creator 4 is a large IIDEX 3D printer capable of building high-end application parts. If you have a small or medium-sized business, a personal studio, or a university lab, then the Guider 3 Plus’ agile and flexible features will be your bread and butter. Whether it’s prototyping a design for verification or printing finished parts or works of art, the Flashforge Guider 3 Plus ensures you will spend less time waiting and more time getting things done.

Right now everyone is looking for some sort of a guide – a tv guide, a medical guide, a moral guide, and probably even a literal guide like a compass. Since quarantine feels like running in circles might as well draw some perfect ones! Compass is also known as a rounder and this uniquely designed one called CARBU is definitely an all-rounder in the stationary design game.

CARBU is a compass and a protractor – so if you are a student or a designer, you know exactly how convenient it is to have tools that serve more than one purpose. The user can make multiple circles without measuring the distance of the opening of the legs with a ruler. The slim legs of the compass on the inside are clogged with discs that are integrated with low-power magnets for smooth movements. The compass has a 2 disc system for accuracy – the inner one disc shows the measurement in a 0.2cm interval and this is amplified with a second disc that magnifies it for ease of viewing. The inner transparent case has two options – you can measure with degrees (for angles and arcs) and also without degrees for simpler things. The second transparent case that has a magnifying glass shows the distance between the two legs of the compass precisely. The discs also tell you if you are in compass mode or protractor mode.

There is a window on the top of the circular disc that shows the distance/radius of the circle to the user directly as they move the compass legs. Ergonomically designed, this window lets you measure and draw without bending or using a scale to read the measurements. I mentioned moral guide earlier and this compass seems to have one of its own – it is built using materials that are recommended for sustainability. CABRU is made from a mixture of bio-plastic and activated carbon which increases the durability of the tool while keeping it light in weight. No strain on your eyes, no strain on your wrists, and no strain on the environment.
