- Comment on What are some of your favorite prints/models? 1 week ago:
My favorite print recently have been duplo blocks that I reverse engineered and built back up in freecad for 3d printing! Here’s an overview of the pieces Ive modeled. Some were based off printables.com/…/137952-lego-duplo-compatible-bui… originally and I used tinkercad to modify the model to create better clutch and fitment. Eventually I went full calipers on my kiddos duplos though and created a master sheet of dimensions that Ive used now in FreeCAD to remake everything. Toying with fitment and clutch has been a lot of fun as well as modifying the pieces for 3d printing.
In a very similar vein I spent a lot of time perfecting settings and orientations on this Lego Crocodile model www.printables.com/model/…/files Image
My kid absolutely love that I can print him out duplo pieces on demand.
As for practical this phone stand Ive really been loving makerworld.com/…/868130-herringbone-gear-phone-st…
Honorable mentions are the shelf I designed to hold my things along my desk and little figurines Ive been starting to toy with. Learning how to print things no designed to be 3d printed or modifying to print cleanly is really a fun challenge Ive found.
Thanks everyone for their shares, too! I def gonna print that hammer for a lighter touch than my engineering hammer.

Huh, I had never thought to search for tits on Spotify, but now I see I was wrong for not doing so.
- Comment on YouTube's new ad strategy is bound to upset users: YouTube Peak Points utilise Gemini to identify moments where users will be most engaged, so advertisers can place ads at the point. 3 weeks ago:
Fwiw I kinda wanna see what awful slop their generative ai ads will be. Literally the first time in years I’ve been mildly interested to see an ad. Not that I’ll stop blocking ads to see them, but, mildly interested.

Yo but didn’t you know the new H2P has a Really big PP? It’s absolutely huge and everyone has been talking about it.
Honestly pretty cool for multi material prints, but chill internet.

- Comment on Looking to get a new printer, Qidi 1 Pro top of list? Also Polydryer? 2 months ago:
I’ve been wanting an active dry box box for a while because even though I live in a dry climate, it seems like some of the rolls of petg I’ve bought have come a little wet and I want to be able to run them through the dryer. I bought the dryer for $80 and I’m pretty happy with the cost vs effectiveness based on the reviews. We’ll see when it gets there!
I did pull the trigger on getting the Q1 Pro. If I fall in love with qidi products there’s a good chance I’ll end up making my next buy the plus4. Thank you for you input!

This is what I like to hear! I ordered some pet cf and straight nylon, the pa-cf was just too expensive to justify without a specific usecase. Does your xmax 3 come with a tungsten carbide nozzle or did you switch to one to use cf filaments?

Thank you for the link! Looks like my pick is 2nd on the list haha. Pulling the trigger today and gonna get the Q1 Pro

… and absolutely yes on the engineering materials, should be easy as pie.

That plus 4 looks very nice, but it is just a little out of my price range unfortunately and it also seems like the Qidi box will not be compatible with the Q1 Pro, but I still feel like multi filament printing with a single print head is a wasteful gimmick.

Yeah Im pretty happy with my A1 mini myself, but moving from a bed slinger to a core xy I think will be a nice change on some of the bigger or taller prints as well as the bigger build volume which yes, doesnt quite match the A1’s 256^3, but its really not much smaller (245x245x240).
Looking at the reviews and price it really does seem to be the sweet spot for stepping up my 3d printing game. Ive been watching reviews for a good chunk of the last couple days, trying to find as many as I can that are more recent than 11 months ago when everyone was reviewing machines they just got and instead reviewing machines theyve actually put through the paces.

At the moment ABS and PETG, but Im also just interested in expanding my capabilities and refining print quality. Im an engineering student and will very likely find uses for this printer in school projects and definitely in my own projects. If I ever need XL prints or want to get into multimaterial, Prusa is gonna be my go to.

- Comment on I want to branch out from PLA. Should I try ABS or TPU? 2 months ago:
TPU is what I’d suggest. You don’t need a enclosure and it should work for what you want. It’s a finicky material though so be prepared to spend some time getting to know it, figuring out it’s temps and speeds is a must for good prints.

- Comment on How do you organize your 3d printing/modeling project folder(s)? 3 months ago:
A folder called 3d printing has most of the stl and 3mf files arranged by date modified. Nested in there are folders for specific projects that have revisions or are remixes I’ve done, but I’d like to overhaul the whole system to something that makes a little more sense. I like the idea of a git for my own projects, I’ve already lost revisions by not paying attention and overwriting the old ones.
Orca stores my filament and profile settings, haven’t found a reason to export those.
