  • Apparatus, system, and method of characterizing filament properties and adjusting 3D printer parameters for decreased filament deposition variability
    Patent number: 11485090
    Abstract: An apparatus, a system, and a method for improvements in fused filament fabrication (FFF). Characteristics of a filament may be measured during production of the filament and the characteristics stored in a memory for retrieval by a 3D printer. The 3D printer adjusts print settings as necessary based on the measured characteristics, thereby resulting in better print quality.

  • Loppers
    Publication number: 20100126025
    Abstract: A lopper of use by those who, for one reason or the other, find it difficult to bend over sufficiently to cut unwanted plant material at or near ground level. The lopper has a jaw which is parallel to the ground with the user standing and the user is able to anchor one of the blades of the lopper while manipulating the other blade toward and away from the anchored blade to cut plant material between them at or near ground level.
