#3d-printing — Public Fediverse posts

ModelRift's blog serves up an epic showdown between #CadQuery and #OpenSCAD for AI-generated gizmos 🦾. Spoiler: both fail spectacularly, but with different flavors of disappointment 🚫🤖. Just what the CAD world needed—more ways to mess up 3D printing 🙄.

I am late uploading here as the server was down when I cross posted on other services, but here is one of the latest efforts on my fiber laser.

Perfect alignment every time. Upgraded my ComMarker B6 with a digital scale to take the guesswork out of defocusing. Use the focus cone to set true zero then dial in exact, perfectly repeatable offsets for color engraving.

And that’s a cool case for the XTEink via #3DPrinting https://brettspiel.space/@lordsplodge/117258530808619888

Love seeing mainstream companies posting models for 3D printing. This one is Corsair's colorful mini-fan cube.

I am currently prototyping a 3D printed shell that holds a coin cell and up to 5 LEDs that slide into small slots. Everything is clamped by a binderclip for easy assembly/disassembly. This will be a quick DIY workshop for Festival of Lights in Berlin (I hope).

Seems just perfect. Now let's hope it holds.
And that it passes the DAF (daughter acceptance factor). Might have to take it off to spray paint it 🤷‍♂️

ATLIX has unveiled a new visual identity for its AM portfolio, renaming TruPrint machines to xBUILD. The company appointed Charlie Grace as President and CRO, and Christopher Schmitz as Sales Area Manager APAC. German metal AM service provider Additive Willmann has selected amsight for production-level quality management. https://3dprint.com/332432/3d-printing-news-briefs-9-12-2026/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Business

Sometimes #Prusa really kills me with their esoteric hardware choices.

I’m printing the USS Drybox adapter for the MK4 style spool holder and it turns out I need a hex spacer. I did find one in the bag of spare parts from my MK4S kit, but if not? I’d have to order from CZ or buy a bag of unrelated spares just to get one. Or take my chances with an assortment kit.

And don’t get me started on their square nuts. They’re square nuts, but not just any square nuts! Virtually impossible to find outside of #3DPrinting specialty stores.

Ok, so I noticed that all the pros mark their #scaffolding with some unique stripe pattern, color or logo...

With the power of #3dprinting a stencil and some vintage orange spray paint (FCKW free!) I decided to follow this trend and mark my scaffolding. There is only one obvious choice for this...

One of my patrons did a fantastic job 3D printing my Time Dragon! They made more progress painting her so I just had to share :D

Ooh, look!!! I updated a thing, again!
Updated the first set for my #miniPainting handle.

Now with specialized adaptive jaws to clamp in standard corks of many sizes.

Plus it almost looks like a cute wolf or doggo. Chomp!

(Yes, he even has little teefers to grab on tight with)

Nice, wir wollen schon länger mit 3D Druck anfangen und das sieht auf einem großen Drucker immer cooler aus, als auf einem kleinen. 🤖🚀

Vielen Dank @OutOfSpace ! 💖

Heres my Dracolich 3D printed and painted by one of my patrons

I'm happy the swappable heads worked out :)
