I normally live in the real world but I like to escape to the 3D printing world where conventional rules don’t apply and your thoughts can become a reality. Dddprintingworld.com

I found the perfect lens for the Mini Flashlightsaber. It now has a more focused beam. Its a bonus model for everyone in the The Collapsing Armory on Printables.

It looks like the two flat surfaces never made contact, accept for a couple spots. It then only leaves the strength of the dowels. Maybe the angle I added to hide the seam kept the two surfaces from touching.

So clean! I think I need another run thru of BTOW too. Next opertunity, I'm gonna start. 😃

That’s the inspiration but not what it’s going to be used for.

This might be my most requested print. Any guess what its for? Can you tell where the inspiration came from?

I found the perfect mini lens for those single battery operated LED's I've been using. Not only does it make the Flashlightsaber beam much better but now I can finally make some mini-lighted blade lightsabers.

I picked out two of my favorite Galaxy edge control panels and made a 3D printed version of them so I can hang one on each side of my desk.

Now there is a Galaxy Edge themed back plate for the push button switch plate covers I made previously. I also added a rotary dimmer option to it too.

This looks so good on my wall, I'm going to have to make more! Its a fun little LED project made easy utilizing prewired LED's and a 2x12 distribution board. I used @Polymaker_3D Transparent PETG for the lenses and Metallic PLA for for the rest.

Have you guys seen these single LED's lights, they only cost $.28 each?!?! They are amazing! I incorporated them into a mini lightsaber. For literally $.50 in materials total, you can make a flashlight with on/off control.

An assumption on my part. I was told nylon in general but it was hearsay.

I think it’s just nylon so try drying it first.

I mashed up the control panel and push button switch plate cover I made to make my own Blast Door Control Panel for the office! You can make one too, the stl's are available on @thangs3d.bsky.social .

The push button switch plate cover I made to match the control panel I just released is ready to be downloaded!

I made 1-4 gang, and bunch of button options. There's a standard and a over plate version that goes over a CE or UL rated plate too.

I just uploaded the STL's for the first control panel on @thangs3d.bsky.social. I had so much fun with this project, and I have more space on my wall so expect more designs like this to come. I'm also thinking about a lighted, multi-part version.🤔

It’s hard to tell the scale of this thing from these pictures so here it is with the XL and the Core One!

I told my daughter a while ago, I would never print her another a full size Master Sword after having a couple of failed attempts.😢 Then I realized that I can design my own! I think I made this version a little easier to print and assemble.

As winter break comes to a close, I think the entire time I was either doing something with my family or designing and printing these!

Merry Christmas! I hope you like my free gift this year. 🎁Its Print-in-Place version of Gift Box #23. 🎅
It maybe the best box of the year and its so cool to pull it off the printer with no assembly required.

Gift Box #1 and #7 had a baby and it may not only be the most complex mechanism I put in a gift box yet, but its probably the hardest one to solve. There is also the most satisfying snap.

Printed in @zombiehedgehog.com amazing @polymaker.bsky.social PLA.

If you fancy a gear box on the back of your presents, then Gift Box #23 might be the one for you! The center of the bow spins with the sun gear unlatching the top. The top prints in place, bows are printed separately for color.

My family has been wanting a new star for years so I finally designed one. It prints in multi parts in vase mode so its clear and doesn't require supports. If you want to print one for your tree, its free on Printables.
