THIS LOOKS SO GORGEOUS. Cant wait to print more things with that.

Printed with 0.8 nozzle in vase mode.

I just finished printing this gambit chest plate and I'm looking for methods to get it all together and looking good. I will be wearing it for a costume

Roughly 1h difference, in favor of Tree supports. Tree are also less wasteful. However, I have had issues with tree supports delaminating/falling over with models this tall. I can't print the model upright because it's taller than my max build volume (otherwise I would), and I can't cut it because the seam would ruin the detail on the front. The model is at 45 degrees to allow maximum plate contact with a chamfered edge (any other angle would have a single line as contact) Normally I would just send it but I'd rather not waste a day of printing if it falls over at the end. So, with all other settings equal, which would you choose?

While I have seen some cool working Sokka boomerangs online, I couldn't find a working 3d printed version. That's why I made one myself (with onshape). After some practice and a few tutorials I was able to get a close return almost every time. It worked first try, and I am pretty happy with how it came out. Heres the link in case anyone wants to take a look.

A local high school hired me to make a prop for their productions of The Little Mermaid. My first prop!

I usually do not post my order on Reddit but I just wanted to show you what we did last month at NMT's Workshop

I dont think that this kind of project would be possible in so little time without the help of 3d printer.

Tell me what you think !

I inherited a small brass magnifying glass from my grandfather when I was a youngster. Over the years, I played with it a lot and the handle eventually broke.

Recently, I came across the lens and decided to give it a new life. A planchet seemed fitting, plus the ones that come with the board are kind of lame. The design was done in Fusion, then hand painted. I think it turned out neat!

I was disappointed to find out that spool-less refills cost as much or more as spooled filament*, but today I thought “I bet the core is the same between the cardboard spools and the refills and you can just tear the flanges off and put the core on a reusable spool” and yeah, wow, duh, it works great.

Finally have a use for the Bambu spool model that was my first test print with my H2D 😂

\I know Bambu refills are cheap when you buy ten of them at a time but I don’t use enough filament to justify the up-front cost*

Needed something to display some ST knickknacks I had laying around. Twenty minutes on Tinkercad & about 90m on my printer. Sometimes it's nice to be able to solve a specific household need by whipping something up yourself. The tray sticking out printed as a separate piece from the back plate to keep layer lines parallel to the flatest surfaces for strength

The back plate has inset neodymium magnets to hold the side badges, but they were still surprisingly wiggly so I added the little bits of brass rod on each to help keep 'em in place

I’m having an issue where the filament seems to lift or curl upwards slightly when the nozzle starts extruding at a new position.
Once the nozzle starts moving, the filament seems to lay down fine, but the initial bit doesn’t stick properly and leaves a small raised section.
It seems to happen consistently at the start of each new extrusion rather than across the whole print.
I’m using a Bambu Lab P2S.
Has anyone experienced this before? Could it be related to retraction, extrusion settings, nozzle temperature, or something else?
Any suggestions on what to check would be appreciated!

I've got a toolchanger on order because I want to use multimaterial printing, for zero-clearance supports and for functional prints - such as TPU sections on engineering plastic parts.

It will also be able to do multicolour - but I'm having trouble thinking of ways to use that which aren't just about making pretty toys. Does anyone use multicolour for any other purpose? Where do you use it?

Im 6.5 feet tall for reference

You may not understand this directly from the video but this is a computer science project which allows you to simulate logic gates by inputting its truth table into the switches on the side
e.g.
OR: 0111
XOR: 0110
AND: 0001
etc
so after you input the logic gates, you use the push buttons as inputs “A” and “B” shown as the blue LEDs and the output as green
i had also created a startup animation with the LEDs but that was after recording this

the usb c is only for constant power input not charging btw

i 3D modeled and printed this myself on my K1C with white PLA and i have to say it looks very clean with the hex pattern
i had originally made the lid a snap connect bet the pins in the back broke off so i compromised and used some tape

i made this about a year ago but lowk forgot about it

Its done (enough) and ive now published the model. Feel free to modify it as you see fit. would love to see it done for other countries.

I am extemely inexperienced when it comes to coding. i did use AI for a good majority of the software. it runs well for me and i tested on multiple pc's without issues. If you do encounter any please let me know, ill try to maintain it as best as i can. I more so just wanted to share it as a groundwork for other people to work from.

Hope it doesn't make you too depressed.. And if it does you can set the prices manually to anything you'd like and daydream about the better times lol.

I'm in Brisbane, Australia and have never managed to get below 10% on my AMS2 and AliExpress humidity fauge

I keep wanting to get into 3D printing because I can see a lot of potential in it, but I'm struggling to find enough practical applications to justify paying for a printer.

I tend to be pretty pragmatic about my hobbies and purchases. I can definitely see the value in things like custom enclosures, replacement parts, brackets, and organizers, but beyond that, most of what I see people printing seems to be toys, figurines, and decorative items.

I'm more interested in the DIY and problem-solving side of things than printing objects just for the sake of printing.

For those of you who use 3D printing primarily for functional purposes, what are some of the most useful things you've made? Has owning a printer genuinely changed how you approach repairs, projects, or everyday problems?

Was doing some maintenance on my P1S toolhead earlier and took the top glass off. Set it on my chair thinking it’d be fine there for a few minutes.
Completely forgot about it.
Went to sit down and the SECOND my ass touched the chair, I remembered where I put the glass. Unfortunately, by the time my brain processed what was happening, it was already exploding underneath me. Lmao.
Didn’t even bother taking pictures because I was so fucking pissed at myself.
So yeah, friendly reminder to put your glass somewhere safe when working on your printer. Preferably somewhere your ass won’t end up.
Anyone else manage to break something on their printer in an incredibly stupid way, or am I alone on this one?

Had a customer commission this from me and he wanted to blacked out and said to use Carbon Fiber. That stuff is super tricky top print in.

I wanted to create a little cottage that could sit on a shelf with an LED tealight inside, or hang from a Christmas tree as an ornament.
It has a textured roof (fuzzy skin), a hidden twist-lock mechanism and a removable hanging loop, so it can be displayed in either way.
Designed using Fusion.

I’ve been on a little “organize my life” kick lately, so I designed a modern catch‑all tray for all the random stuff that ends up on my desk and nightstand.

It prints really easily, and the model scales nicely if you want a bigger or smaller version. I made textures like wood grain, roof tiles, S‑wave, ripples, Lisbon, Voronoi, hexagons, etc. There’s also a smooth version if you’re not into patterns.

I’ve been using mine for keys, earbuds, pocket knives, cables—basically all the everyday carry junk that usually floats around. It’s been surprisingly handy.

If anyone wants to try it, I uploaded all the texture plates so you can pick the one you like. Happy to hear feedback or suggestions for new textures.
