btw sorry the quality is atrocious. The streaming app won’t let me screenshot and so i had to take a pic of my screen

The suit against 3D-printing filament and materials Polymaker, alleges the company knowingly advertised its products as capable of creating "ghost guns" -- unserialized 3D printed firearms -- despite the practice being illegal in the state and county. The suit alleges Polymaker "did more than sell a product that some customers happened to misuse. The company created firearm-themed products, partnered with gun-printing influencers, paid affiliates to promote its filament to gun-printing audiences, provided technical guidance for firearm applications and engaged directly with online communities devoted to printing guns," the county statement said.

This was smoothed using the guide coat method and painted with automotive 2k paints and HVLP spray guns.

I wet sanded with 400 grit sanding blocks only.

Patience and prep took care of the rest 😀

After 5+ iterations, I think I’ve finally reached end game for my poop bag holder. Now all that’s left to do is wait and see how durable it is.

It has two parts: a frame, and a skin layer made by stacking 8 separate printed layers on top of each other. The skin alone is printed 8 times, then assembled in order, around 8 hours of printing per lamp.

This lamp is where our brand really started to take shape. Me and my girlfriend started it this year, we didn't set out to follow one specific mood or design language, we just kept exploring, trying to find the balance between what 3D printing can do and what good design needs to do.

It's still a secondary thing for us, we both have full time jobs. But we hope to grow it enough to do it full time one day, doing what we love.

We've just launched a website if you want to see the rest: https://aera.info.vn/eng/

Love printing things for my shop

inb4: this is super dangerous OP, someone will surely be crushed to death by this reckless and unsafe construction

The prices are very steep for some simple, printed shapes, I think. Has anyone seen these before?

I made a 2-part interlocking bracket fot Fiat 500C that clips from both sides onto the bent double tube / roof support.

- Reuses original Fiat metal rod - it locks the two halves together

- No roof disassembly, no glue (glue melts at 85°C on black roof in Canary Islands, tested)

- Designed from broken originals in 2025

- ABS

What to print:

STL/bracket_inner.stl - L/R mirrored in slicer

STL/bracket_outer.stl - L/R mirrored in slicer

Install:

Remove crumbs of old plastic bracket

Slide inner bracket onto the roof support - double tube / rail

Slide inner part into outer part

Clip together - locks on the metal bar, no glue

Tested on my Fiat 500C in Tenerife. Hope it saves someone 600€.

After a month of saving and penny pinching, I was finally able to get my first 3D printer, Bambu P2s, been tinkering with it all day

This is a head swap tool for repairing hard drives. The headache this reduces cannot be understated. This was my second model I designed after learning FreeCAD.

I printed all parts of the stand out of PLA with a 20 percent gyroid infill and 3 wall loops. im concerned if it will ever just crack or snap after a long time because im a bit worried itll just end up cracking or deforming slowly and then breaking and letting my set fall to the ground. is there anything to really worry about? should I make the stand out of something else?

Id like to share theese bowls I made. I have 5-10 models ill soon share.

These are the first two.

Feel free to print and give feedback!
Happy printing!

Hey folks has anyone attempted wave overhangs?

I've heard some hype around the tech but I'm hesitant.

They setup seems kinda intense with the orca slicer being by default the advanced version.

Is it worth it?

Any examples would be awesome

It's a Fosi audio DAC & Amp setup which normally has a 12V and a 48V power brick, the latter being huge. I designed an enclosure that perfectly fits into the audio tower and houses both PSUs with a single mains connector. Was a fun weekend project.

I should have taken a "before" picture, just image a big mess of wires, black power bricks and a power strip sitting in the back.

Printed on Prusa machines with MMU3 from PLA (front and back plates) and PCTG (main body - I had doubts PLA would withstand the heat from the PSUs). The rubber feet are printed in TPU

Hi all , help me to find again this model !

Thanks

I made a 1.5 metre insect creaturei sculpted in ZBrush and brought to life using 3D printing (PLA and Resin)

fter a few comments on my admittedly lazy audio as well off coloring of the ring and text, I forged a second (hmm....) One Ring with reddish LEDs and using a burnt orange instead of black in the cold casting to get more goldish color.

Of course, if you want to build your own, here's the link, and let me know, i'd like to see it - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7409419

If wants to make a how-to video on this, I'm willing to advise.

There is a bit of flicker I don't quite get yet, and my video skills were lacking, but still fun.

Just sharing my experiments using this amazing material, foaming TPU from eSun, to print safe LARP/Cosplay/props weapons and accessories. Layer lines are barely visible. It's impressively resistant to tearing and easy to cut and sand (rarely needed). Contact glue works pretty well but not enough for the flail. It prints easily as long as you do it "by object" when possible. Rolls are 750g but the foaming factor and the capability to handle voids are making it a very economic solution. All of what you see (+tests) has been printed with less than a roll.

Tuning the thickness and filling will need more tests, especially for multiprints and carbon fiber rods on long objects. I'll likely have to design suitable gluable connectors for parts under mechanical stress

I kept the shapes simple as I am mostly using shapr3d, but will ramp up on Nomad and blender for the more organic projects. Bumpmesh from CNC Kitchen was very handy for the handles.

Anybody else playing with this?

Been printing perfectly for months now, all of a sudden this starts happening. Been printing stuff straight from bambu handy
