3D Printy

The star that the post's summary fails to name is Alpha Centauri A, for those who wanted to confirm their guess.

Reminds me of a geoglyph described in Terry Pratchett's "A Hat Full of Sky".

"’Taint what a horse looks like. It’s what a horse be." The wave-like lines of white chalk carved into a hill captured the movement of a horse.

Finished printing and assembling this Pop Fidget toy designed by @3dprinty.xyz!

The inside has a soft TPU gasket that does the job of giving these buttons a nice pop. Really cool to get a chance to use multiple material types in a build!

Hi, #3dprinting. As of a few weeks ago, I'm unemployed.

I want to do this full time. Be the filament librarian for real instead of just on the weekends, like I have for the last six years.

Can you help? forum.filamentcolors.xyz/d/31-a-call-... Reposts appreciated!

I no longer use Twitter, but I haven’t deleted my old account.

I’m concerned that losing control of the username, which I had promoted in past videos, would free it up for scammers and impersonators.

I finally figured out how to make a collapsing Buster sword with a replaceable blade! 😲The rivets screw in and trap the blade to the guard. This sword is so much fun, and available right now on @thangs3d.bsky.social!

When AI advances enough to write popular literature, it'll create a market flooded with AI competition.

Readers willing to (knowingly) purchase a fully AI-generated book could prompt their own tailored stories.

My guess: unless tied to a popular IP, individual books won't gain sufficient sales.

Screenshot of YouTube comment by 3D Printy with the following text: As a 3D model designer who does not sell prints (but allows others sell copies for free), I have a mixed reaction to this news. I hope Grant is right and this rule will primarily be used as an Easy Button for DMCA reports. I have no interest in taking orders or shipping product. If this rule is strictly enforced, my designs will not be available on Etsy AT ALL. I DO agree with the rule about using your own photos. If you're selling prints, you should demonstrate how YOUR prints look. What quality can buyers expect? What colors/materials do you use? And beyond that, model designers aren't necessarily great photographers (I'm terrible at it). So create your own product shots that make the sale and differentiates yourself from the competition. Finally, I hope people selling prints consider remixing the designs they print. It seems more likely to me that Etsy will allow prints that have been customized/remixed by the seller, just like someone who sells restored antique jewelry boxes or similarly transformed items.

I've been pondering the #3dprinting #etsy news for a while and those thoughts finally escaped containment in the comments section for @3dmusketeers.bsky.social's video on the subject.

Grant and I talk about engineering, inspiration, and what’s coming soon™️. Check it out!

Zelda, a tortie-patterend cat with calico coloring, is standing on top of a refrigerator, where she can observe the kitchen.

Zelda has been dealing with some worse health issues the last few months.

We're still working though it, but I was thrilled to find her hanging out at her favorite people watching spot for the first time in a while.

Hmmm, since Skyward Sword has:
1. A location about pumpkins (The Lumpy Pumpkin)
2. A pumpkin item (Pumpkin Soup)
3. A pumpkin side quest (Balancing a tower of actual pumpkins)

Does it get 4 stars (highest value of single matched condition) or 9 starts (total value of all matched conditions)?

SML2 Comes to mind.

RepRap 3D printer on the left (parent), and the RepRap 3D printer on the right (child) that it printed the parts for. Adrian Bowyer and Vik Olliver of the RepRap Project also in the picture. 14:00 hours UTC on 29 May 2008.

17 years ago today.

The first self-replication by a #RepRap #3Dprinter - the start of the #3Dprinting revolution.

Yup! Although I now wish I had cropped the output to a square instead of posting the raw export from my phone.

I had to try Gargoyles in Spaaaace!

Purging only what's needed is a good idea.

I feel sorry for the first person to try this system out with thermochromic filament, though 😆

A 3d printed pen holder.

Writing with the pen holder.

A toothbrush holder.

A ball shaped pen holder.

Awesome adaptive devices at #RMRRF.

I gotta catch up on The Horne Section episodes first. What if I watch things out of order and get a spoiler?

Screenshot of Season 2 Episode 9 of Andor showing a 3D printer that has been altered into prop.

S on Printables is first posted a print for my newest design!

It hasn't been put to use storing Switch Game cartridges yet, but it looks ready for the task!

(Have I mentioned that I love that makes on Printables now get their own pages?)

Remix time!

@transbat.bsky.social has released a preprinted version of my Mini Dracula model so you can print your own Count Chocula! 🧛🍫

Meanwhile, this is flying under the radar somewhat..!

GIF didn't do the GIF thing, so here's a video of the organizer in action!

Photo of an open 3D printed Nintendo Switch cartridge organizer containing 17 3D printed demo cartridges and 1 real game cartridge. The container is shaped like a barrel and the cartridges are arranged in a circle. Several cartridges are raised for retrieval.

Animated gif of a 3D printed Nintendo Switch cartridge organizer showing how rotating the container elevates cartridges for easy retrieval.

My newest #3dprinted model is a barrel-themed organizer for #nintendo Switch cartridges!

Easy to print, easy to assemble, and free to download/print/alter/sell.
