This #fallout inspired speaker is easy to age with a little rub and buff. It's like cheat mode. Assembly video and 3d model coming soon. Easy #3dprinting project. #makers #diy #audio #audiophile #functionalprint

Thank you! I used a Bambu X1C with a 4 color AMS. On Frosty I had to swap out the colors as the layers finish. 2 blues, then 2 reds, then yellow and pink, 8 colors total. The blue background is a separate print with 4 colors of ProtoPasta filaments. The 2 piece snap together.

It’s thin and only takes an hour to print one but you have to watch it and swap out spools in your AMS.

Nice, I’ve been thinking about designing one for a project I’m working on, this turned out beautifully.

Disarray? This looks very neat and compact, nice setup. Mine is always in a state of chaos.

Community I need your help! πŸ™

@bambulabglobal.bsky.social Makerworld is rejecting all my takedown claims, even when I provide hard evidence. Here is more evidence, mine next ONE of them in question. 🀯Exactly the same when you do a little scaling.πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

Please help me tell them this is not right! 😑

Wow this is big news! Having started on Shapeways about 10 years ago before I could afford a resin printer to print my N scale miniatures, I’m looking forward to this merger. Congratulations to @thangs3d.bsky.social and Shapeways! Hopefully this will be a win-win situation!

Long before I knew what a polygon or a UV map layout was, organizing Christmas cookies for the ideal cut of that first pristine roll-out of dough, is one of the most satisfying memories I can recall.

The GingerBread ornaments from @LootStudios
just had me reliving that #ChristmasTradition.

πŸ”₯Good enough to eat. Don’t eat. Quite a selection of #DnD inspired ornaments.

So proud of my daughter. Here she is presenting her 3D printing on the moon project to a NASA engineer. All the group I brought to the event did well, but her group got a lot of attention for their work.

What an awesome idea. Imagine if you could use the moon dust to sinter 3d print.

But this blue doesn’t match the color I neeeeed. I only have 12 shades and none of them are blue blue. 🀣

The joy of finishing the thing that means you can get back to the thing you need to finish before you can get back to doing the thing you're supposed to be doing.

My latest project is a (not at all accurate) recreation of the iconic chairs from Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe. This one stretched my capabilities a bit. The seat is carved on my CNC and I 3D printed clips for the legs, which are bent PVC pipes. Build details in this short thread. 🧡
