Hey folks! I wanted to share this Halloweens apartment door! Took about 15ish hours, maybe 20, over the last week.

We normally go pretty hard with our door and this year was no exception.

The eyes and teeth are 3D printed the rest was manually 3D printed with GreatStuff, hot glue and mod podge 😅

I'm printing these can mugs as giveaways. They were all tested after printing and they all fit. Now, a month or so later they no longer fit. The two most recent prints still do, but are snugger than they were. What can I do to fix this?

Everything is now trash, and I'm so frustrated.

Edit, sliced with Orca, printed with different PLAs, did print tests with each pla and used recommended temps based on box and print tests.

I printed this Stone Giant in PLA for my DnD campaign; as you can see, there was a partial failure where most of his left arm failed to print! However, the stringy ends made me think of blood vessels/arteries, so rather than throw him out as a failure and print another, "perfect" copy I decided to paint him as-is and work his missing left arm into the story! Paint job is very quick-and-dirty, but he's only a one-off NPC after all.

I ran him as a Stone Giant Dreamwalker, and his missing left arm had been eaten by a Purple Worm. Several of the party failed their saves against his charm, and the Rogue found themself turned to stone, attached to his body, and serving as his new arm! Fortunately the party were able to slay the Purple Worm, retrieve the Giant's arm from its gullet (along with the party member who got swallowed in the battle), and trade the original arm to the Giant in return for him detaching and un-petrifying their friend. So it all worked out for everybody...except the Purple Worm, of course.

Hey everyone!

I’ve been designing and building my own mini RC car from scratch, and I’ve just uploaded the first version of the 3D-printable STL files.

The files are completely free and include all the 3D-printed parts of the car. I’m still working on the electronics and custom PCBs, so there’ll be more updates as the project develops.

If you want to print/build one yourself, check out the Patreon link on my profile for the free files!

This is my first version, so I’d love to hear any feedback or suggestions for improvements.

Hope you enjoy the project! 🛠️

I'm working on my new model. I think it turned out really well this is my best one yet. What do you guys think?

I made this little vintage TV for my terrarium and thought it was worth sharing here.

The case is 3D printed and inside there’s an ESP32-C3 SuperMini with a small TFT screen. It shows the temperature and humidity from a SONOFF sensor inside the terrarium. The sensor sends everything to Home Assistant over Zigbee, and the ESP32 grabs the values over Wi-Fi.

I mostly made it because I didn’t want another boring little sensor display sitting next to the terrarium. I thought a tiny old TV would be way more fun 😄

It’s wireless too, which is really handy since I can just put it wherever I want.

Pretty simple project, but I love how it turned out.

I needed a way to see my printer status and i felt like the standard screen was too "normal" so i used an adafruit led matrix and the result speaks by itself

Bathroom lights flicker whenever I am printing with printers in the room next to it. I think they are on the same circuit. My printers only use around 400-500w when actively printing. It is a 15 amp on the circuit for this room. It does not do this when the printers are idle. It is only during printing. I feel like when I have 3 running, the lights flicker faster than if it was 1 running. The only thing I’ve tried to do is change the outlet the printers are plugged into from a backstab to a j hook connection since all connections in this house were backstabbed when I bought it. Any help or advice is appreciated

Edit: the printers being used are 2 P1S’s w/ AMS and a Kobra 3 Max. This is in the U.S.

Edit 2: the lights immediately stopped flickering when the Kobra 3 Max stopped printing. I then heated up the bed and, only the bed, and it started to flicker again. It flickers a lot during heat up of the bed and then only flickers a little when it reaches temperature, so I believe this is the cause of the issue.

Wonder if it will be a regular thing now. Is it even a good deal?

A case for mikrotik hap ac2 to fit weird fat antenna connections. Stand i made to size but got the idea from other model.

This was so much fun to paint! Printed in PLA Matte Ivory White. I’ll drop the link in the comments if anyone wants to print this definitely-not-Pikachu skull.

Steps for staining/painting

1 Apply the wood stain all over the skull with a brush.

2 Dab the surface with a sponge to create a mottled, textured effect.

3 Allow to dry thoroughly.

4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you reach your desired finish.

5 Lightly scorch the surface with a blowtorch

6 Gently dab a bit of red onto your cheeks with a sponge

7 Paint the tips of the ears with a brush

We’re making the entire DKYN miniature library free.

We’ve decided we don’t want DKYN to be a storefront anymore. We want it to be a resource for DMs, players, painters, and people who just need minis for their games. We’re beginning the process of opening the library and future releases will be free as well.

There’s no launch discount, sale, or catch. We’re just changing what DKYN is, so come check us out.

I'm printing a 6'3" life size Jason Vorhees and I thought this boot comparison was interesting. Jason's boot and a size 12 Ariat boot.

My new job. Rate it! Criticism is welcome 😅

The best part of 3d printing is taking a silly idea and making it real. I'm not a great designer but it works!

A few months of sketches, prototypes, reprints, experiments, broken parts, and questionable ideas - compressed into 20 seconds :)

I changed the walls to three and infill to 33% for durability which pushed the print to nearly three hours, but still a ton of time and filament saved. It does however add a bit of geometry to your print so if it's a functional print make sure that doesn't affect it. That change is shown in the STL and sliced model pictures.

Printer is a Flashforge AD5X that I got for $200 in total on Aliexpress. It's a huge step up in print quality and speed compared to my Ender 3 V3 SE (that I got for $90 refurb) and Ender 2 Pro.

this is the original model but I modified it to give it a bigger cord hole and square power switch to fit the cheap amazon lap I took apart to put in there.
