They do work better/faster at closer range.

I like the ideas you bring to the conversation

And it’s technically not damaging the camera. So hard to get prosecuted for vandalism.

I wonder if you could design these to basically 3d a frame and then attach cardboard , price of fabric, on the front. or something.

to reduce the filament use and print time.

This is kind of a big print. Good idea though.

I’ve honestly only had one bad roll ever.

I’ve bought a ton of cheap 3djhor filament with no issues.

I’ve tried at least 20 brands.

I can say my ender was way more finicky than my Bambu is. The Bambu rarely has issues even with filament my ender struggled with.

Also the only filament I have had to be choosey with is silks.

And brand is just one factor. I’ve had good rolls of one color from a brand and not so great of a different color. Same brand.

Basically poor overhangs. But otherwise they all print well. Just some do worse on overhangs.

Maybe fixed by slowing the print speed down but not usually a big deal on whatever I was printing.

What kind of printer do you have ?

Do you live somewhere humid right now?

Wet filament. Or. Bad filament.

Those are bubbles.

X axis is off.

Yes. The left to right. Not top to bottom (z)

When the x axis is off, the auto bed leveler can compensate for it. For a while. Until it gets high off the bed.

Then the skew becomes more problematic.

Basically you need to adjust your x. (On the z rods).

Now I know how to do this on an ender 3 v3. But not your model.

But here is a link to the ender one so you can better understand the issue and how to fix it.

I make a lot of functional stuff too. Unfortunately it’s usually something I need and not things other people need.

But I still post about half of those.

I think being able to make functional stuff has been a nice advantage.

I started with tinkercad and I still use it a lot for simple things I need.

For anyone intimidated by 3d design, I highly recommend starting with tinkercad.

It’s like MS paint. Very Basic. But gets you familiar with how digital painting works before jumping right into Photoshop or something.

Yeah the incentives are very good on makerworld.

I actually got my printer (A1 and ams) from points I earned from one model of mine that’ was popular (jumping spider).

100% paid for with points.

I was able to buy a A1 mini and ams lite a year later for my nieces and nephews. Though I think I’ll be taking it back cause they never use it.

But still. Was pretty cool I could buy all that with points from my free models.

Some people say I should sell them but on cults3d you can see how much people sell their models for and how many were sold.

I earn more making them free. It’s just the money is Bambu gift cards. I believe you can exchange points for actual money now but it’s like 30 cents on the Bambu dollar. So, I’ll just buy filament with it.

That’s some type of assist for settings. It’s not an ad and you don’t have to click it and it doesn’t pop up.

Most of my models have free licensing and all of them are free models.

The ones without open licensing are remixes so I can’t grant that. With the exception of one model I have restrictions on selling online only.

I don’t have a ton of models and maybe nothing you are looking for. A few toys. A few functional things.

But I wanted to make free models for people who can’t afford licensing.

I’m also on printables thingiverse cults3d but my makerworld account has more stuff posted on it.

The stl files are also on makerworld. Just click the down arrow next to “download 3mf” (green box) and select STL files.

I have detailed tutorials for my big projects like the cat clock and Harry Potter egg.

I get points when you download from makerworld (if you have a makerworld account) Which I use to buy filament. So I can make more free models.

So there is a reason I keep my makerworld account more up to date. To try to encourage downloads from there.

For example . I used up 4 rolls of filament to design my cat clock and it took me about 100 hours of design edits.

Plus I spent ~$50 on hardware for it.

It’s a free model. But I earn back some of my expenses by points on makerworld.

I make models as a hobby but I try to not spend too much to design anything. Cat clock was the worst offender. But it’s a pretty cool model (eyes and tail move)

Anywho. If you like anything I have , just scroll to the bottom of the description where I list if licensing is free.

Like I said. Most of my originals are with 1 exception. The cat clock. Online restrictions only.

But remixes have some restrictions because they aren’t fully mine.

But you need a ton of photos.

The technique is called photogrammetry
