    A close-up macro photograph of a 3D printer extruder head positioned very close to a reflective print bed surface. The image captures the nozzle assembly in sharp focus at the center, with the white printer carriage body visible above featuring ventilation slots. Two yellow warning/caution triangle stickers are visible on either side of the carriage, and their reflections can be seen on the glossy print bed below.

    A Display Management Switch (DMS) knob for an F-16 Fighting Falcon sidestick is 3D printed at Aviano Air Base, Italy, June 14, 2022. Four sections within the 31st Maintenance Group had the idea to 3D print a Display Management Switch knob for an F-16 Fighting Falcon sidestick, ultimately turning a $131.90 job into a 10 cent job and saving 30 man-hours per knob replacement.

    The image shows an Ultimaker 3D printer in a workshop or makerspace environment, with its front doors open revealing an illuminated print chamber. Below the printer is a material storage unit containing multiple spools of filament in various colors. The workspace includes a computer workstation to the right and a fire extinguisher and electrical panel on the left wall.
    A person in military camouflage uniform and glasses is viewing a 3D CAD model on a large ultrawide LG monitor. The screen displays what appears to be a cylindrical mechanical component with rectangular protrusions, rendered in Siemens NX or similar CAD software. The setting appears to be a military engineering or fabrication workspace.

    The image shows two small dark brown/black circular components placed on a white surface. Both appear to be identical or similar small mechanical or electronic parts, possibly ferrite cores, inductors, or small transformer cores with cross-shaped slot patterns on their faces. The left component appears slightly taller/thicker than the right one, which is flatter and wider.
