Meshroom
But you need a ton of photos.
The technique is called photogrammetry
- Comment on How to fill these seams when joining prints together? 1 week ago:
Print a 1 or 2 layer thick rectangle the length of the seam. Maybe 1cm wide. and glue on top. Sort of like how you use tape.

Be sure to check the screws on the backside. You will need to take out the front three to access it.

How old is your printer. ?
I had near 2000 print hours and started having first layer problems. I did a lot of troubleshooting and nothing worked.
Ended up being that the heat block needed replaced. Even though it seemed to be functioning. It was causing flow errors or something.
It could also be that the screws around it get loose. That’s actually been most people’s issue but that wasn’t mine.
I replaced the heat block and it fixed it. Here is a link to the thing I’m talking about. Explains to check screws first before considering replacing the heat block.
Hopefully that’s your issue cause that’s easier to do than replacing the heat block.
A poor first layer may not be super noticeable at first. But the problem for me was it got worse over time and did result in prints lifting.
- Comment on Why prime tower instead of poop? 2 weeks ago:
My experience in manually changing filament on my old printer. : There was often tiny gaps between color layers that ultimately made the model weak. Sometimes blobs instead.
(I would pause and change filament at a specific layer to get a multicolor print without a multicolor printer).
To solve this I would add a cylinder object to the plate so that the first place the head went after a color change was to the cylinder to get the filament back up to the right flow rate.
The pressure changes from changing filament is why the printer usually does a quick line at the start of a print. And why it’s necessary for multicolor changes.
- Comment on Any ideas why the top roof warped like it did? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah op. Rotate it so it’s printing with bottom and top being the open parts on the middle.
Rough sketch but hope this helps.

Honestly I figured an open container of gasoline and a Roman candle could do the job but requires placing the gasoline can.
Gasoline is an explosive.
Many people don’t really know this. They think it’s like alcohol or lighter fluid.
It is not.

- Comment on Adidas has expanded its 3D printed CLIMACOOL LACED shoe from a limited release to global availability 2 months ago:
Yeah maybe. I would just be weary. Those jelly sandals can mess you up in like a half hour. So thin socks might not do the job and you would need to be mindful about how sweaty/wet your feet are.

Sure but the point of sandals is to not wear socks.
But yes socks definitely help.

When I was a little girl in the early 80s, there was these very common popular sandals that were everywhere. Sometimes they were called “jelly sandals”. They were made out of this semi transparent flexible plastic. They were quite cute. There was 2 main styles. One with a strap with a metal buckle. The other, more like a ballet flat shoe
Now I bring this up because these sandals were the worst shoes that I have ever worn in my life.
Plastic like that, making direct contact with your feet will give you blisters in pretty much every location of your foot that shifts inside the shoe when walking.
I’m talking on top of the toes. Side of the toes. Side of the heel. Back of the heel. On the ball of the foot in at least 2 locations. And whenever else.
Whenever I see the promotion of 3d printed shoes and know what tpu feels like (very close to the jelly sandals) I am reminded of summer pain and blisters. And also of feet getting stuck sometimes from suction from sweat.
I just don’t think 3d printed shoes are going to work out.
Oh gawd they still make jelly sandals. ⬇️
