3D Printing
3D printing is
becoming more accessible to the average person. Maker spaces usually have one
or two that would allow you to use. 3D printing is another good way to make lab
equipment, here are a few items I have printed:
In the top picture
you will see a electrophoresis chamber made from a soap dish and 3D printed gel
chamber and comb. I could have printed the whole chamber but I used a soap dish
that I already had to save on plastic.
In the next picture I
printed the dremelfuge which I have talked about in an earlier post. I printed
both with chuck and with-out. So far I only used it with a drill. I still do
not feel safe using it with a Dremel without enclosing it in some sort of housing
to protect myself.
The last picture
shows vessel holders for beakers, flasks and jars that I will attach to a
shaker machine. I will talk about this in a later post.
You can find these items at :

There are many other sites you can get 3D objects from.
