3D PRINTERS FOR DIY-ERS
Indeed, new usages are emerging because of 3D printing and the Do It Yourself culture is enriched by transforming handymen into makers.
It has never been easier to invent, create and repair than with a 3D printer or the services of major DIY stores.
Do-it-yourself brands start 3D printing
Leroy Merlin and his Techshops
Leroy Merlin provides various machines including 3D printers and professional support. However, it is necessary to subscribe to these Techshops. You will find the different formulae that are proposed on their website.
Boulanger and Happy 3D
Thanks to this initiative set up by Boulanger, you will be able to print or have your spare parts printed in 3D and thus avoiding throwing away your equipment. The brand is working in partnership with the collaborative platform Freelabster that connects people who have 3D printing needs with experts. The latter creates the necessary parts for the former and ship them.
Dagoma also fights against product obsolescence by promoting the 3D repair file sharing between its community and Happy3D.
