One-piece 4-meter PETG bar counter shows how far large-format 3D printing has come
lukas_m_ziegler · x · 2026-10-17
A monolithic 3D-printed bar counter just dropped: 1.1 m tall and over 4 m long, printed entirely in PETG with millimeter-level precision as a single continuous organic surface with integrated LED backlighting.
Author Lukas M. Ziegler frames it as evidence of how quickly large-format additive manufacturing is tackling bigger, more architectural pieces each week, and notes the interesting overlap with robotics. He runs the weekly robotics newsletter "we all are robots" with 20,000+ subscribers.
