If you're stuck on what controller board to choose, a community member wrote an article about his experiences with Smoothieboard, Azteeg x5 mini Version 2, Beagle Bone, and Arduino Due (with RADDS shield). He talks about some of the pros and cons of each so it makes for a good buyers guide if anyone is in the market!
Feel free to ask him any questions here or in the comments section of the art

Here's a walkthrough a guest writer wrote about building a DIY enclosure for his delta. Of course, his delta is pretty big, but there are tips and considerations that will essentially be the same no matter how big your enclosure will have to be that's quite useful.

Hey reprappers
,
Most of you have probably distributed your design files via online marketplaces or communities. What other options are there? Which one's the best one for you? We wrote a distribution guide for designers so that they can weigh the pros and cons of each channel, and give it a second thought. For makers, this is worth a read to see where you can get 3D files

Hey there Reprappers,
We've got another tutorial for you, this time from Kansas State professor and Pinshaper Dustin Headley!
He made a short video for us introducing how you can use T-splines for Rhino 3D, allowing you to make 3D printable objects relatively easily. Of course, you'll require Rhino to do this.
