17 years ago today. The first self-replication by a #RepRap #3Dprinter - the start of the #3Dprinting revolution.

The Vector 3D spring sale is on for the whole easter weekend, until midnight on the 21st. We have discounts on a wide range of products including VLMP, Inserts, Califlower, Pinecil, Stepper Motor Analyser, ElectriPi and more. All codes on the front page: vector3d.shop

NEW VIDEO: The @bambulabglobal.bsky.social H2D landed in the studio and I've been giggling being the scenes with all the speculation. 🤣 I've been hands on for a week now, working night and day to get a video together. 💪 Watch now: youtu.be/D_mKJlMyHxI Aff: shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=2750...

NEW VIDEO: @prusa3d.com Core One complete teardown disassembly Including: 🪛Removing almost every screw 📏My opinions on the design elements 💭Overall thoughts on the Core One build quality So much work to bring this together, hope you enjoy ❤️ 🔗>> youtu.be/mIJrKwkuiM8

That moment when you just spent $1800 on a PCB production run 😆

Was prepping a bunch of parts today and I really really love my VLMP from @adam-v3d.bsky.social it works so well and made installing tons of inserts an absolute breeze.

I think the ol' AMD 2700x, 16GB RAM and 1050ti might struggle a little with the hours of 4k footage from the Prusa3D Core one disassembly 😅

Them: We're only selling assembled printers. Me:

It is done. @Prusa3D Core One fully disassembled. Now to make a video and share all the cool shit and hidden secrets I found. 🎉

After 2 days off sick I can continue with the @josefprusa.bsky.social Core One testing. Initial setup is complete, time for the first print!

One large 3D printer loaded into one tiny car. TO THE OFFICE!!

Prusa Core One complete teardown... Live stream or edited video ?

We've been waiting a long time for @Prusa3D CoreXY, and now kits available! I don't have my unit yet, its on the way, but if you want to give me some money for no real reason, other than you think I'm great, here is an affiliate link 😂🥳 www.prusa3d.com#a_aid=Vector3D

Can confirm, it has now shipped. Seems like most creators have had them for a week or so already but oh well 🤷‍♂️

No indication that my Prusa Core One has shipped yet so any coverage from me will be late 😔

The first batch of ElectriPi sold out faster than expected so it looks like I've got some assembly to do! 🎉🎊 vector3d.shop/products/ele...

PD-Stepper just landed! 🥳 One of the coolest little projects I've seen for a little while. Essentially a USB PD Powered Nema 17 stepper driver using the TMC2209 controlled with a ESP32-S3. This is an open source project by Things by Josh vector3d.shop/products/pd-...

Having a great time printing with @cookiecad.com PLA (which you can now get easily in the UK from @adam-v3d.bsky.social). I’ve had real difficulty with some silk and shiny filaments previously but this prints like a dream.

If you're into gaming I would highly encourage you to try Pacific Drive. It's not perfect, but it is incredible. Despite finishing it weeks ago I still think about it and keep replaying the soundtrack. Obv no affiliation, but it's on discount now. store.steampowered.com/app/1458140/...

IT'S BEEN 8 YEARS?! 😅 This was my first corexy 3d printer, designed to be fully enclosed with simple flat panels. Kind of wishing I could have persued this as a product all those years ago.

I'll be joining the 'Creative Makers' panel on @thereal1440.bsky.social Charity stream, be sure to come and join in, donate, and have a chance to win some great prizes too.

Did Santa forget a gift for you? Are you burning through filament printing out all the cool things? Need some parts for a cool build project? We will be running some great giveaways during both days of our charity drive on January 11th and 12th! www.youtube.com/@1440Makers/...

Checking out what Vector3D has been working on at #smrrf24 ! Do you NEED a heatset press that runs klipper? probably not, but its a thing, and its pretty cool, also talking RPI addons, headphones and also the RESTOMOD of the HUXLEY! www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcFS...

The most beautiful filament you've ever seen, made by the one and only CookieCAD IN STOCK NOW at Vector3d.shop 🔗 vector3d.shop/collections/...

What's your favourite office chair? I can't carry on with this manufactured garbage any longer!

Prediction. 2025 will be the year of the steel frame 3d printers.

Little update on the office move.

Here's a fantastic rogue promise for 2025... I'm going to design a 3D printer mainboard.

Oh BTW, another adjacent announcement, Head(amamme) are now available in stock in the UK at Vector3D.shop 🎉🎉🎉🇬🇧🇬🇧

Super smart! Why have I never thought of this?!

"That's what RepRap's about. RepRap is about making machines that can copy themselves as well as producing useful items." @adrianbowyer.bsky.social, 2011. Ser No. 93. 🤔 #Clues #SMRRF24 #RepRapReMake @e3donline.bsky.social

"A number of things about this machine have been changed to make it better than the last one, which was good already." Adrian Bowyer, 2011. It's 2024 now, time for another go! Can you guess the #RepRapReMake I've built for SMF charity auction at #SMRRF24 this year?

Due to my very fortunate position, I don't buy 3D printers very often. Therefore, I hope it speaks volumes that I have the trust to order this straight away. I'm a youtuber, so obviously it's time to roll out the affiliate link: www.prusa3d.com#a_aid=Vector3D Blog www.prusa3d.com/en/product/p...

WHAT?!?! Conversion kit from @josefprusa.bsky.social Mk4s to Prusa Core One? That is kind of insane in the best way possible. Maybe not the best value for money, but still an great path. LOVE IT.

New Prusa, Lets GO! 😍ordered mine. I'm super excited as I've been impressed with the design of every Prusa machine I've used. You bet I'm going to be tearing mine down ASAP to take a look inside 😇 If you order too, code: @AdamVector3D ❤️ blog.prusa3d.com/introducing-...

Getting ready for #SMRRF24! If you don't have plans to be there, then why not? 😁

If #Califlower isn't the first thing you print with a new filament, then you're doing it wrong! 😁😛 #newFilamentDay

After a couple of years running 5k regularly, I finally achieved my goal of finishing in under 30 minutes at the local parkrun this morning! 🎉🎊🎉🎊

I use a lot of brass heat-set inserts and use a variety of home-grown tools/jigs to help insert them with accuracy and consistency. Here's a height adjustable jig for side-on insertion. Plywood, bits of an Ender3 and a soldering iron mount from @adam-v3d.bsky.social #3dprinting #homemade #diy

Should I do it? 😍 #Califlower

I've been working hard on another #OpenSource #RepRap re-make for the SMF auction at #SMRRF24. No sponsors, no influences. It's just me, enjoying making. I hope you'll enjoy it too. ❤️
