There comes a time in most people’s lives when inspiration strikes, and when it does this burst of focused energy is generally rather impressive. Take for example Swiss Maker Christoph Laimer’s contribution to the 3D printed design world.
Early this year, he released the instructions on how to create a fully 3D printed mechanical tourbillon watch (based on a 1795 design by French-Swiss watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet). What this means is that with nothing but a sophisticated array of 3D printed parts (as well as some pins and screws) you can make your own fully automated and accurately functional time piece.
But Christoph didn’t stop producing there. He’s continued to be driven by the maker spirit and has just recently announced two 3D printing projects many may have thought impossible only a few years ago.
The first is a 3D printed brushless motor, that once 3D printed with the necessary components in place, runs at over 65% efficiency at 90W. The other, is a wind power writer that, as it...
