We built an open-source 3D bioprinter to connect the Life Science Lab and Makerspace. Starting with tie-dye bacteria printing on fabric, we aim to make bioprinting accessible, inspire experimentation, and design another printer🧫🐙✨ We have built our 3D bioprinter following an open-source protocol and validated it with some first test prints. Our next step is to establish a reliable workflow by printing tie-dye with bacteria on fabric to better understand the system. As we gain experience, we aim to explore additional bioengineering applications and ultimately use our insights to design a more advanced next-generation bioprinter. Our project began after several setbacks with previous ideas, when we decided we wanted to build something tangible and came across an open-source protocol for a 3D bioprinter. Since we’re all interested in bioengineering, we saw it as the perfect chance to get hands-on experience. ...

Recycling 3D Printer Plastics

Looking for a team member

Environmental Sustainability

Open source
After finding out that SPH doesn't recycle its waste plastic from the 3D printers, I wanted to do something about that. Recycling these plastics is possible, and with enough care taken to sort them, they can be reused for 3D printing with results comparable to original filament. The extrusion is then carried out with an Artme MK3. Most of the input material is failed 3D prints, design iterations, and support material. That needs to be sorted for a high quality result, removing impurities and other types of plastics. One difficulty for reaching a good quality result is purity: PLA and PETG need to be reliably separated. After shredding into granules, the material is extruded into 1.75+/-0.03mm filament. This is comparable to Prusa's commercial PRUSAMENT at 1.75+/-0.02mm. ...

Stack Auth

Active

Open source

Software Engineering
Stack Auth (YC S24) is the open-source Auth0 alternative. We build your login and signup pages, and everything that comes with that. We are the most developer-friendly auth solution. Setting up Stack takes just five minutes; after that, you will immediately be able to use our features such as two-factor authentication, social logins/OAuth, magic links & passwords, authorization, RBAC, user management, impersonation, webhooks, and more. Our JavaScript packages include ready-to-use React components that let you skip building the frontend pages for account settings, forgot-password flows, and user dashboards. Thanks to this, we have thousands of GitHub stars, and are growing incredibly quickly. Konsti and Zai met while studying computer science at ETH Zurich and incubated this project at SPH. We are repeat founders with work experience at Google and Jane Street, and published papers at top conferences. We are also hiring — if you're passionate about the future of devtools and the web, we should talk. Send us your CV team@stack-auth.com...
