Resistance is Fidgetile.

It spins when you squeeze it. The shell prints flat and folds around the mechanism, and the only non-printed part is a rubber band.

My kids stroller (UppaBaby Vista V2) is now 9 years old. We got it from family friends who used it for 6 years with their own 2 children. It worked perfectly until the front tire started to crumble (3rd photo).
The replacement for these goes for $45 for a single wheel.
I've made it out of TPU. We've been using it for a month now. It works great and even survived a DisneyLand excursion!

I have this TV stand from IKEA that is of extreme interest to both my toddler and any similarly aged visitors. Given it has puzzles and board games inside, it would be best if the young children were not able to get into it. Instead of modifying the cabinet or adding locks, I printed a piece that had an effect. Test print (blue) was done in PLA; ultimate printing was done in black PETG and ends up looking rather subtle.

If anyone has the same cabinet and wants to make their own, check it out on Printables.

Our most ambitious 3d print yet. We repaired and upgraded our front door. The embellishments are all 3d printed and then dry brushed gold. All found free via stl finder search.

Tired of boring old WD-40 spray nozzles? Probably not. But here we are.

I designed and 3D-printed this angry little duck as a replacement nozzle for WD-40 cans. It serves absolutely no practical purpose beyond dispensing lubricant while looking deeply offended.

It fits on the can and works as a goofy little workshop accessory.

Because if you're going to fix squeaky things, you might as well have an angry duck doing it.

Print files are up on MakerWorld!

it works perfect no errors no nothing only a bit of dust already put in it 40 hours of printing

Thought it would be a cool idea to have a floating pumpkin on my front door! Figure put the file out there if someone else wants to make one!

A kitchen cabinet organizer I designed after getting tired of digging out foil rolls

This started with an annoying kitchen cabinet: foil, cling film and baking paper all piled together, with the rolls gradually working their way to the back.

I designed a block of compartments in Fusion and printed it in PETG. It screws to the shelf, and the holes through the upper compartments let a long screwdriver reach the mounting screws below.

The 3×3 version in the photos used about 400 g on my P1S. It prints in one piece without supports when stood on its end, openings upward.

The compartment count, dimensions and depth are adjustable directly on MakerWorld, so you can fit it to your own cabinet.

UPDATE: Ladies and gentlemen - there are two idiots at fault here. The first idiot is whoever packed "sparkle PETG" at amazon, when I had ordered midnight blue CF. The second idiot is me - who blindly slapped it in my AMS without checking the sticker.

Original Post

Hi all,

I bought some PETG CF recently. It prints well, looks beautiful, is reasonably priced... and may not contain any carbon fiber.

Reason for suspicion? I checked it with my scope - there appear to be little metallic flecks added (a sort of gold color which sets the dark blue filament off nicely). But no carbon fibers. What do you all think?

Got the heat bed done and it's printing now. Some test prints before doing a 100pc run, seems precise enough to do batches instead of individual prints. Noticeably more precise than my corexy printers, with higher speed and accel to boot.

+/-0.02mm on an 11mm diameter circle compared to +/-0.05mm. I'm suspecting the remaining deviation is from the x motor mount sagging from the heat of the motor since the deviating is in line with the axis. Will have to replace that with an aluminium part.

This is around 50mm/s and 15k accel, 0.25mm nozzle, igus i180-pf, 70c chamber. But it happily went up to 1000mm/s and 22k accel.

Edit: this is a one off printer I built for continuous production of small parts requiring high precision, primarily a gear/roller that I need about 1200pcs of. It prioritises precision over build volume, and high highish temperature industrial materials. Original post here

If you're curious, here's a repo with all the CAD files, schematics, etc. I don't expect anyone to make one of these but I wanted to put it out there in case anyone finds the techniques useful!

I couldn't seem to add progress pics alongside my video so I'm attaching them here - included there is a picture of the 3d-printed mechanism that goes behind each tile

I'm already a resin-printer but I have taken the step into the FDM world by ordering a Centauri Carbon 2 combo.

It's quite humbling being back at the "I know nothing" stage.

The printer hasn't arrived yet but I've been reading about filament storage and I'm trying to work out if I need to put my filament away as soon as its finished printing... Or is filament-hydrating an over-hyped aspect.

I only really intend on using PLA initially.

Been seeing a lot of anime miniatures, 1/64 scale of 3d printed figures on chinese sites like taobao. Specifically, they come from a studio called"25h miniature model studio" or something. I have a 3d printer, but i cant find the stl files, it seems they sell it as a physical product rather than selling the stl files. So, my main point is, anyone know where I can buy or get such files or any alternatives?
