A fun part that my company produced on our SLM machine for a customer. It is printed in AlSi10Mg aluminum. The flanges need to be surfaced before it ships, but the part turned out beautiful.

FIXED

I hope this helps someone because it has taken three days my life and many curse words ☺️
There is a sweet spot with the screws. I believe I tightened these (pictured in comments) too tight and the front ones too loose, causing the filament to push down on the nozzle and extend it, and giving too much slack when not printing. When looking for the plate it must have been just a few millimeters off and out of the sensors parameters. Thank you all for your input. It’s always a nice thing when you take time out of your day to help another 💜

Please help :(

*This is happening when it goes to sense the build plate*

It thinks my build plate is on incorrectly but it isn’t.

I have a Bambu A1 and I keep getting this error. I swear there is nothing on the nozzle and the plate is on correctly. I’ve tightened every screw and cleaned every surface. I am at a loss. Every single print is stopping.

I created these portable enclosures for electronic circuits. I’d like to share them with fellow electronics DIY enthusiasts for their own projects. I designed various versions of boxes, front panels, and rear storage for multiple applications. I’d love to get your feedback and suggestions for further improvements.

Happy friday, y'all!

So, I just wanted to take a second to introduce the site I've been working on for the past few months called FilamentHound.

FilamentHound is designed to "sniff out" the best deals on filament, but it's even more than that.

I've been personally very frustrated trying to search for filaments on Amazon. Sometimes when you search for things, they either don't show up, or Amazon shows you different results than you want, or hides particular manufacturers, etc... (For example, I have been buying some Inland filament lately and randomly it just decides to not show up when you search "Inland PLA" on Amazon! Why????)

FilamentHound bypasses all of the algorithms and sponsored search results and simply gets you to the filament you want. Looking for Blue Silk PLA? A couple quick clicks of the filters (or type "blue silk PLA" in the search box), and you see all the Blue Silk PLA available on Amazon. By default, it sorts by price per kilogram, showing you the most cost effective filaments first.

At this point I'm at well over 18k filaments digested from the US Amazon store and growing. I am hoping to launch Canada this week. I could definitely use some volunteers to check that out!

The goals of the site are to be the easiest to use, the most comprehensive, and the most accessibility-friendly. There's no login or tracking, and the site is completely free to use and always will be. In the future, I'm hoping to include more manufacturer stores, to become the "single pane of glass" filament shopping experience everyone is looking for!

I would sincerely appreciate any feedback. You can either comment, or send me a chat.

Thank you, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Hey guys, I've been looking at this anycubic printer and I'm wanting to get into 3d printing, I need a multicolour 3d printer in the £300- £420 ish price range thats the best for the price, any help and recommendations from you guys would be amazing, thanks!

Hello everyone. First time posting. I have been wanting to get into 3d printing for various reason and was looking around locally for a printer. Came across a guy that gave me this printer that he never really used for free. Research lead me to know this is an Easythreed k7. Can anyone tell me a bit more about it and possibly what I should look for or some advice on it or getting started?

Edit: I can see the common answers is just move on lol. I will clean and keep the machine for now but I will look into something else. Thank you all for your time.

​I was tired of the shitty plastic cases these blades come in — they’re a pain to open and the blades always get stuck. Since I’ve been on a utility knife design spree, I figured it was time for a decent storage solution.

​Designed this with a rotating tray so you can actually grab a blade without fighting the box. I made a desktop base and a wall-mount version since my workbench is always a mess anyway.

Just need to print it out now and make a static chassis for it while I design the RC chassis.

Should I design another cross section like this? I wish more architecture models where interactive and let you explore the hidden spaces. what historical building or cool thing should I make a model of next ?

Let me know what you think? :D

My daughter drew this cute little girl, and I turned it into a 3D print.

I tweaked the eyes a bit with Gemini, then used Rodin to generate the 3D model, split it into parts, cleaned it up, and printed it. The final print came out really nice, and I’m especially happy with the hair color on this one.
