    Ep. 78: Radek of RH3D on E3NG, Virtu E3, and the Future of Open-Source 3D Printers
    Feb 12 2026
    In this episode, we are joined by Radek of RH3D. Brought to you by Sovol. Get $10-20 OFF on Sovol 3D Printers: https://jle.vi/sovol (use code NEXTLAYER)Radek is the engineer, architect, woodworker, and maker behind RH3D, a project best known in the 3D printing community for breathing new life into aging Ender 3 printers. His most recognized work, E3NG, reuses approximately 68–78% of an Ender 3 to build a fundamentally new, more capable 3D printer—challenging the idea that old machines should simply be replaced.Born in the Czech Republic and raised in a family of mechanical engineers, Radek was immersed in problem-solving and hands-on creation from an early age. His path took him through architecture school, years running a woodworking business, and eventually back to architecture—while continuing to design and develop advanced 3D printer projects part-time under the RH3D name.Whether you’re an Ender 3 owner, a maker who loves modding and rebuilding machines, or someone interested in sustainable approaches to 3D printing hardware, this episode is packed with insight, inspiration, and real-world engineering experience.🤫 Get behind the scenes and exclusive content on my Patreon: https://patreon.com/thenextlayer💬 JOIN MY DISCORD: https://jle.vi/tnl-discord🎥 IN THIS EPISODE: 🎥00:00 Introduction01:08 Radek’s Background: Architecture, Engineering Roots & First Printer03:36 Origin Story of the E3NG: From Cheap Upgrades to Full Conversion05:37 Czech Maker Culture & Why Engineering Runs Deep08:06 What Is the E3NG?
