My most ambitious 3D printing project. Someone else's model. 25 hours printing so far. Can you tell what it is yet?

Usually use eSUN filament but this flat grey is Elegoo and it is printing well.

Did you go for it? I've had a delta printer for 11 years. Which is brilliant. But fancy trying multicolour with a bigger build volume and the K2 seems *really* tempting.

So why protect the name of the sex trafficker if it is all just a mistake? Must be either Trump or one of his deranged kids.

Gordon Brown was happy to employ Mandelson who was a known crook at the time.

Surprised Brown is pretending this is all a revelation. Has everyone forgotten???

He refuses to apologise for it. He's a senile old racist. The collapse of his regime will be glorious and will trigger worldwide celebrations.

Mandelson has been a crook for decades. There is zero chance Starmer didn't know this. We all did!!

Mandelson needs to be in prison for treason.

What still stuns me are the black people voting for white supremacists who think they animals.

Why would any non-white person vote Republican? Ever?

Vance is in the Epstein files they are suppressing.

Probably the guy who was offering Epstein a 9 year old girl ...

"New Brazilian just arrived, sexy and cute, =9yo"

There is no suggestion it was Trump, Mandelson or Musk who ordered a 9 year old girl from Jeffrey Epstein.

So which paedophile is the US government protecting?

If the House of Lords refuses to remove peerages from paedophiles, foreign spies and people neck deep in corruption then we should scrap The House of Lords completely.

Yet another moment when spineless Starmer is going to fail.

If he was a Muslim the reporting on this would have been completely different and would have made the prime-time news broadcasts.

He literally blew up a British street.

Glad you are OK. Hopefully the domestic terrorist will spend a long time in prison.

Alex Pretti. Held a mobile phone and protected a woman. Shot to death. Labelled a domestic terrorist.

Anthony Kazmierczak. Attacked a women with a chemical weapon. Arrested and given free breakfast. Labelled a troubled individual.

The fascism red flags are flying high.

The far-right must hate money so much they can't stop shovelling it into this grifter's pocket.

Curious who the lone cinema goer is who will be watching "Melania" on their own at my local Vue. Hope they wash that seat down afterwards!

Melania wont be surprised by the film flopping. She's used to it.

Especially when lies conflict with what people can see with their own eyes. You can lie about foreigners but egg prices is where the veil slips.

I'm still waiting for Trump to build that 60ft concrete wall. So is the far-right nationalist I bet £1000 that he never would.

We all know what the Chinese are doing. The question is why the British Government is bending over and letting them do it. Not sure if it is galactic level incompetence or straight treason.

I think they know that paper printers can spot attempts to duplicate bank notes and thought it was a similar issue. Or maybe geofencing drones. Will be interesting to see how it works out in reality.

I get the desire for law makers to prevent people shooting each other ... but the naivety involved here is staggering. Making an open source printer is easier than printing a gun. So why buy a printer when you can build an unrestricted one?

Or just buy a real gun.

It was clearly written by someone who simply has no idea how 3D printing works. A printer has no idea what it is printing. It's like getting Bic to make biros that can't write naughty words.

"Here’s an example that Google’s Josh Woodward, VP of the Gemini app, Google Labs, and AI Studio, shared in a blog post about how Personal Intelligence can work. Google also put together a similar example in a video that I’ve embedded below:

For example, we needed new tires for our 2019 Honda minivan two weeks ago. Standing in line at the shop, I realized I didn’t know the tire size. I asked Gemini. These days any chatbot can find these tire specs, but Gemini went further. It suggested different options: one for daily driving and another for all-weather conditions, referencing our family road trips to Oklahoma found in Google Photos. It then neatly pulled ratings and prices for each. As I got to the counter, I needed our license plate. Instead of searching for it or losing my spot in line to walk back to the parking lot, I asked Gemini. It pulled the seven-digit number from a picture in Photos and also helped me identify the van’s specific trim by searching Gmail. Just like that, we were set."

I wanted to reduce the height of my caravan chimney stack while it was under cover. 3D printed a Truma cap (designed by Jan Bielawski). My first threaded object and it fits perfectly.
