I decided to do a spooky Halloween print that beats the crappy store bought ones. So I decided to make a 16inch Australian Huntsman spider.

When it was black and in two halves it wasn’t scary at all.

One 30 min paint job later and it’s horrifying.

I will put it on the side wall of our front door so you don’t see it until you turn around to leave. Should get some nice ring camera footage.

Probably too expensive, but imagine never having to home, realtime resonances and accuracy feedback, and never losing steps.

I have a bunch of used rolls that I'm not going to use. Free to pickup. Located in Oklahoma City, OK.

Update: Claimed

Ordered Polymaker Marble White PLA from Amazon. Cracked open the box and found an unsealed spool of ELEGOO Matte Navy Blue staring back at me.

Apparently, some cheap bastard figured out Amazon’s return policy is a self-service filament upgrade program.

Amazon has billions invested in robotics, AI, and logistics, but apparently nobody can tell the difference between white and fucking blue. 💀

I’ve been working on a series of food themed fidgets to try to sell in local coffee shops and bakeries. These are my Halloween versions of the corkscrew cupcake foodle! Haven’t really shared my work online yet, curious what people think.

I designed this Apollo themed floating cupholder. I wanted to try and find a way to add a "scorched" look to the outside, but nothing really seemed like a great option, bic lighter did a little something but just wiped right away, so I went ahead and started painting with acrylic instead. Still have some fun details to add but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, not having a ton of experience in hand painting models! What do you guys think? I think this might force me to buy and learn how to use an airbrush if anybody has suggestions/tips?

Hi! I made a portal gun, it’s still missing cables but I hope you like it!

The model was created by Evarate and is available on thingiverse. I used the V2 version but replaced the arduino with esp32 and added sound effects.

When printing multicolor with a single nozzle, traditional methods require at least one purge for every layer that uses more than one filament. Multiply that by the number of colors and layers in your print, and you'll quickly fill up your poop bin.

I had a thought: most print heads have some clearance between the nozzle and the build plate. Why not use that space to print several layers of one color at a time, then backfill the gaps with another color?

Turns out, someone actually wrote a research paper on this exact concept a few years ago, but as far as I could tell, it never made it into a practical tool.

Well, I couldn't leave it at that. After burning some tokens, I put together a post-processing tool that attempts to do exactly this. I'm calling it ColorStack.

The workflow is simple:

1. Slice your model as usual.
2. Open the sliced file in ColorStack.
3. Process and export it.
4. Send the modified file to your printer.

Full instructions are available on GitHub.

In an ideal, best-case test print, I was able to reduce filament purges from 49 to just 9. Since filament changes on a single-nozzle printer can be pretty slow, that also cut the print time for my test model from 1 hour 10 minutes to just 30 minutes.

Obviously, this isn't going to work equally well for every model, but I've found that most multicolor models offer at least some marginal benefit.

Ideally, this would be a built-in slicer feature, but I'm not really equipped to implement that myself. So I'm releasing ColorStack for anyone to freely use, copy, modify, and hopefully improve.

I'm sharing it here because I don't want the idea to sit forgotten in my GitHub repo and disappear into the void.

Hey 3D printing fans!

For the last two months I have put tremendous effort in building a unique 3D model generator. It turns any QR code into a 3D mini city to be 3D printed!

I have made it free, save (runs locally on your device) and hope I can inspire others to print some.

Please share your creations and feedback, looking to improve where possible!

Feel free to repost on other sub-reddits, and tag me! 🤓

I usually make my coasters out of oak, but last night I came up with this optical design idea, so printed it (my neighbors wouldn't have liked it if I turned on the CNC in the middle of the night 😂 )

Can see each individual line it laid down. Thought it was pretty cool. The second picture is the bottom side. it was printed on textured pei. I included a regular picture of it for reference.

This is my miniature coffee shop container to add a little spice to your decor! :)

You can store almost anything in it, coffee beans, coffee capsules, or anything else that fits.

It comes with a few different printing options and lettering choices.

It’s designed with both multicolor and single-color printers in mind.

I’ve made it with a removable storage insert for easy cleaning and replacement.

BE AWARE!
If you’re using it for unpackaged food, such as loose coffee beans, extra precautions are needed.
Food-safe filament alone doesn’t guarantee a food-safe print. The printing process must also be suitable for food contact.
The storage insert should be cleaned regularly and replaced periodically, as residue and bacteria can build up over time.
A certified food-safe liner is the safer option for direct food contact.

Sealed or packaged food, such as coffee capsules, can be stored without the storage insert using normal filament, as long as the food remains protected by its packaging.

Now, this is a promotion for my model, and I do hope I’ve managed to get some of you interested! You can find my print on Printables.

Had a customer commission this from me and he wanted to blacked out and said to use Carbon Fiber. That stuff is super tricky top print in.

I designed, printed, painted and assembled this life size prop for my Halloween display. Total height is adjustable, but maxes out at about 6’ 8” before it starts looking goofy. Right now, I have him sitting at about 6’ 2”.

The arms articulate at the elbows using rotating pivot joints that I designed for this build.

The legs articulate at the joints, as well as pivoting where they connect to the base.

There are two slots left on the base for future add-ons… I’m going to give him a pincher arm and a spinning saw blade arm.

Oh, and his mechanical eye is painted with three shades of blacklight reactive paint, for a little extra funsies.

I designed and 3D printed these anatomical models myself using Blender. I have small 3D printing studio

These were made for clients who needed physical models for teaching and demonstration. I worked on the models from the 3D design stage through printing and finishing.

I've been experimenting with different anatomical models, including:

• Heart

• Brain

• Kidney cross-sections

• Pelvis

• Lumbar spine (LST) models

• Blood vessel / clot models

• Patient-specific anatomical models from DICOM data

• Bird and animal anatomy

• Microscopic / educational models

The models shown here are around 175 mm and 245 mm, but I can produce them at different scales depending on the intended use.

I'm particularly interested in making models that are useful for medical education, anatomy teaching and demonstrations rather than just decorative prints.

I'm still a small home-based 3D printing business, so I'm trying to learn what medical students, educators and professionals actually find useful.

If there's an anatomical model you've wanted to have as a physical 3D print but couldn't find, I'd genuinely be interested to hear what it is.

I also take custom model requests, along with bulk orders.

Dozens of development iterations all done on a Prusa3D Mini+, later SLA prints at services. Small scale production intended to be a mix of FDM, SLA, CNC and one part that will have to be injection molded due to feature scale and finish.

I’m looking into out growing my A1 and this brand popped up on my Instagram ads. It’s claiming a 300 mm build , eight tool heads in a lot more other stuff for 500. I reserved one for 5 bucks but what do yall think.

Let me know your thoughts!
