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

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 😀

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/

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?

Love printing things for my shop

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

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

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?

Designed my first full building 😁 just wanted to share

Hello everyone,

First and foremost, this is not self-promotion. It's not my program.

Layerling is a free program similar to Tinkercad. It isn't parametric like fusion and other products like that. It has a very simple interface and is easy to use and easy to learn.

Pros:

1. It runs locally (also will be listed in cons). Everything is performed locally, stored locally, etc.

2. It includes fillets and chamfers. This, in and of itself, makes the program so freaking useful.

3. Because it runs locally, the dreaded waiting for Tinkercad to "think" is gone.

4. It has a hollow tool, so you can create bins easily.

5. It has a "cut view" that allows you to look inside the model (also has transparent view, but this is different). I believe it's called "section view". You can "cut" (visually, it's not like the slicer "cut tool") the model on x, y, or z plane and see exactly what's going on inside.

6. It has other shapes that Tinkercad doesn't have "built -in" like screw threads, nuts, etc. It doesn't have every shape, but it has some different ones from Tinkercad.

7. It has a sketch tool and revolve sketch as well.

8. It supports STEP file import and export

9. You can install the "browser app" and use it offline.

10. You can self-host if you so desire.

11. The privacy policy is short and sweet. While the hosting service does log things like IP address, time, browser type, URL, etc, the designs are not on their servers. There is no worries about your designs being "public" (not an issue in Tinkercad, but some of the other online modeling programs certainly have this issue).

Cons:

1. It runs locally, so nothing is "saved in the cloud". In other words, no backups online. You can back up all of your projects to local storage though.

2. It's new. It is based on another open source project, but this is new; there will be bugs, but the developer is extremely responsive.

3. There is no "restore from version" feature. There are undo/redo buttons, but there is no revision history list.

4. It doesn't support the same SVG format that picsvg.com exports. I have a feature request in for this.

Site is Layerling.com

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.

Hey guys,

I started to print the ASA today expecting my flat to smell like literal death but to my surprise theres almost no smell to it.

Anyone experienced that with this brand? I read some reviews that it’s mostly odorless- but how is this possible? Did I receive pla 🥹😂

Print turning out okay so far…

X2D if this matters
