For someone getting started in bioprinting research, what are some tips, tricks, things to watch out for, and pain points?

Specifically for bone, but I’m pretty sure anything you share about other tissues also can be helpful. Thanks!!

DIY bioprinter doesn't print

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a used Ender 3 V2 Neo and brought it to work to experiment with using it as a bioprinter. I came across this guide (link down below) followed the instructions, printed all the required parts, and assembled them.

I also adjusted all the necessary settings they provided for printing. After downloading the model I wanted, I imported it into Cura 5.9, sliced it, and attempted to print. However, the printer only moved briefly and then immediately finished the job without dispensing even a single drop of my solution through the needle.

My question is: has anyone encountered this issue, or does anyone know why this might be happening?

Worthy open source bioprinter projects

I wanted to build diy bioprinter out of my ender 3 but didn't find any good projects so i wanted to ask maybe someone has good project that works well just like factory solution?

Bioprinting tour

My daughter has a research class in high school, and she her subject is bioprinting. Does anybody know where she could get a tour of a facility or school that specializes in bioprinting?
