spherical helix as single twist coord #openscad #3dprinting

3D printed spider looking sinister #3dprinting #october

I picked my first 3D printer I ever bought based on the desire to print shoes that would fit my feet. (I never actually tried to 3D print shoes in the end.) Being able to 3D print a chair as one single print would be really cool.

I've got more design work to do but I am making good progress on the handheld two button controller.

added the single twist cord style, which is what I was aiming for. Saw this at other basket makers, will add to my baskets. #openscad #3dprinting

PLA Carbon Fiber is really THE S-tier filament. Looks great, super rigid, doesn't take up moisture as much as PETG-CF, easy to print. Gonna make good use of the new #DiamondBack nozzle! #3DPrinting

Continuing our 3D print today of the Shenzhou capsule and Tiangong space station! Tune in to see the progress on this cool space model. #3dprinting

Update: decided to leave the giant spider on the porch. With the rain last night, it looks far scarier than it did 2 nights ago. Yeesh. #3Dprinting

Had a magnetic mounting plate for a smoke detector that was glued to the ceiling and no longer in use after I got a new smoke detector.
And since it was annoying and ugly, and next to a moon lamp, there was only one thing I could realistically do, right?
3D print a Saturn V rocket and attach it with magnets.

Do you ever do that thing where you find an STL that might work, but it's not quite right, so you load it up and make some edits, and it's not quite there, so you end up using it as a template to completely redesign your own version from scratch because... that's just what you do?
Me too.

On design, analysis, and hybrid manufacturing of microstructured blade-like geometries
With the evolution of new manufacturing technologies such as multi-material 3D printing, one can think of new type of objects that consist of considerably less, yet heterogeneous, material, consequently being porous, lighter and cheaper, while having the very same functionality as the original object when manufactured from one single solid material. We aim at questioning five decades of traditional paradigms in geometric CAD and focus at new generation of CAD objects that are not solid, but con…

Oh, right. Also, the giant 36" spider I finished #3dprinting in the nick of time, on the porch on some dead tomato plants from the garden. #halloween

Printing with ASA filament seems a lot more tricky than I thought it would be...

I finally know how to efficiently create decorations that are bent along a rounded rectangular path. #openscad #creativecoding #3d

Sometimes you forget to measure something precisely but it all still works out in the end.

From Earth to orbit, one layer at a time. I'm live now, 3D printing the Shenzhou spacecraft! Come join the stream to see this epic space project unfold. #3DPrinting #Shenzhou #Spacecraft

It looked like a promising print, but unfortunately it failed a few layers later due to a clogged nozzle. However, the pattern seems to be easy to print without support. #3dprinting #bambulab #basket

Handlebar brackets are done… I’ll mount the board on it tomorrow.

Light-triggered process lets 3D printers create custom glass structures without glue or high temperatures
Researchers have developed the first binder-free method for 3D printing glass, using light to trigger a chemical reaction that directly forms silica structures without the need for organic additives or extreme heat. This breakthrough makes glass printing faster, cleaner, and more precise, with the potential to revolutionize fields from optics to medicine by enabling custom, high-performance glass components that were previously impossible to manufacture.

Come on, just one more video how to bend the 'Wiener Geflecht' to a cylinder because why not.

Ooooh! The current Printables contest is for 3D printed bike gear!
#3Dprinting

Bike Gear | Contest theme | Printables.com
If you like to ride your bicycle, you know—there’s always something that could work better. This round is for 3D-printable parts and accessories that make cycling smoother, safer, or just more fun. Think mounts for lights or action cameras, bottle holders, custom tool clips, chain keepers, mudguards, storage solutions, or transport helpers. Or give your bike some personality with custom valve caps, spoke decorations, handlebar charms, or other small touches that turn it into the bike of you…

💢 Why is open source hardware not working for 3D printers?

Doing some more weaving with #openscad for another #3dprinting project of mine. Wha does it always look so much easier in the first place?

It went in a completely different direction than I had imagined, but that's fine. The Viennese basket weave will have to wait; I'm going to weave another basket first.

more experiments with the spherical helix and different shapes in different orientations, looking either like a spring or a ball. #3dmodelling #3dprinting #openscad

I think this will be a good new challenge for #3dprinting. I think the tube diameter needs to be sufficient for stability, otherwise it will be too elastic and act like a spring instead of a ball. #openscad (thanks @damarberlari@x for his stunning visual article

The baskets are also perfect as planters for kitchen herbs, for example. Just let me know if you'd like to see them on Etsy. #3dprinting #baskets #openscad

I finished my Vienna canework pattern (Wiener Geflecht), its just a first PoC, maybe it needs some more refactoring before I might think about some round variation.
#openscad #3dmodelling #3dprinting

Finally #3dprinting again. Had some hotend nozzle clogging and learned about different methods to overcome that. Turns out 'cold pull' is best. Now only 2.5 more hours to go. ;)

too many idea, to few time, do you see what I see? Maybe another type of basket at the horizon? #3daddicted #3dmodelling #3dprinting

I accidentally made another basket. Should I list it on Makerworld or Etsy? #openscad #3dprinting

Playing with different sizes, found a nice one with strong ribbons and a good haptic. #rattanball #3dprinting #openscad
