The first I bought my daughter 5 years ago was a ToyBox; great little fun gadget but SMALL print volume. (https://toybox.com/). It has been idle for the last 2 years while I've been mostly using Hermes ( 3 Pro SI). But tonight, I woke it up! Now both printers are happily squeaking and beeping and the fans are blowing as I print more jellyfish and fidget cubes. Either I need to leave the room or put on the noise canceling headphones...

You did it - my amazing 72 backers! We reached our Kickstarter goal.

Time to 3D print my limited 1st edition copies of the game! (Now that you helped me buy the printer and filament.)

We'll also be sending STL files for a locally printed copy. (Within a few months.)

If you'd like your own copy of the game - pledge by Friday, June 28th at 8:50 AM CENTRAL.

Are there any privacy-respecting 3D scanning apps that work on Android or Linux? I just wanted to a custom opener for a wristwatch battery compartment, can't find a STL, and measuring and modeling is a bit much for a one-off I'd need ~now.

Re-toots and "this is (one of) my hyperfocus area" brain cannon appreciated.

Does anyone here have personal experience of successfully converting a CT Scan to a 3D printable file? Preferably on Linux.

All I'm finding is outdated tutorials pointing to discontinued services.

(Please assume I know how to use a search engine before replying. Thanks 😃)

This collapsible dice tower is slick, as now it should fit in my mini carrier for sessions. Highly recommended for cramped gaming situations! thingiverse.com/thing:4542200

Second reservoir done. I think I'll use white for the inner pot. I love how the color transitions turned out with these two!

#3DPrinting #MakersGonnaMake

Two pastel ombre PLA printed reservoirs for self-watering pots sitting on a brown wood desk; each has a round tube on the side to deliver water. The pot on the left is golden yellow to green to purple. The pot on the right is purple to pink to peach in color. A small printer and various tools are visible in the background.

    The MangoJelly videos are, once again, a godsend. Venturing outside of the Part Design workbench is scary and not well documented (at least on how to use the multiple workbenches together). I'm now diving into the Curves workbench in hashtag#FreeCAD thanks to his videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JO3kU3Lg-U&list=PLWuyJLVUNtc3qvjX-xWLeHHlpYPiEKMmC

    I finally published my bee hotel for mason bees and it‘s running in a competition on printables

    Edit:
    The competition got cancelled because most of the models were not bee-friendly. Mine is!
    It uses paper straws as nesting material and the backplate with the plugs for the straws is printed with PLA so that the bees won‘t chew on PETG.
    German readers: If you want to now where I ordered my straws, feel free to ask.

    It's not affecting the print, but, any advice on that tennis net, ?

    First print with the Capricorn tube, seems otherwise fine. The Capricorn is indeed a very tiny bit thinner than the stock Bowden on the printer, but a very small amount. My eyes saw what they saw and the calipers confirm it but I wonder if I really saw it.

    I’m some dungeons, and this is the first of an idea I have about selling ready-to-go oneshots.

    Include the dungeon itself, minis for enemies, some scatter, and write a unique one-shot to go along with it.

    What do you think something like that would sell for? Is there a market for that?

    Decided to make a rhino for my berzerkers so they can chop of your head sooner.

    The design was inspired by the old Epicast Dark Army APC.

    I finally made it: an XOR mechanism that requires exactly one of two keys to be inserted at a time. I call it the 🗝️ .

    This is very useful for example to track where important small things go: Want to take the car keys? You have to insert your name tag to unlock it.

    My first mechanical project with and it was great!

    EDIT: Now on : https://www.printables.com/model/793767-keyguardian-dual-key-xor-mechanism

    video, showing honeycomb storage wall. a hand grabs a USB stick which is attached to a small white box. The USB stick can't be removed from the box. The hand then grabs a name tag labeled 'Bob' from the right, inserts it into a slot on the box, and the USB stick pops out. Now the name tag can't be removed from the box. In reverse, when reinserting the USB stick, the name tag pops out.

    I’m making this incredible master sword from and I need some advice on how to finish it! My plan is:

    1. sand
    2. fill in any gaps btwn multipart pieces with wood filler
    3. sand
    4. spray with sandable primer
    5. sand
    6. paint… with spray paint?
    7. …. Assemble? What about the parts that fit together with tight tolerances? Will the added paint make it impossible to assemble?
    8. what coating do I finish with to make the hilt a comfortable texture to hold?

    Advice appreciated!

    @boda this seems to be a pretty standard succession of operations, it's certainly similar to what Kamui Cosplay or Bill Doran would do, and that's a good sign. (Both of them Cosplay related YouTubers that I can recommend)

    I made a bigger holder for the mailbox key which makes it - like the others - kind of click into place when fully flicked out of the holder.

    Also reprinted the holder on its side and turns out that works fine! And hides more or less all the layers. Much nicer. :D

    New file (and new photo) uploaded to thingiverse if anyone wants to play with it:

    I had an epiphany today: Mastodon is my makerspace. I haven't been able to find a makerspace in this area since we moved here in '22, and that's been bugging me. But I scroll through Mastodon and see people's printing, woodworking, electronics, and welding projects, and I admire them, and sometimes I ask questions and learn new techniques. And when I post my own, people do the same.

    That's a makerspace.
