Less than a month to go until #TCT3sixty. I’ll be attending again this year, so come and say hello. If there’s anything you’d like me to cover, feel free to comment or DM. Previous years’ highlights: 3dwithus.com/tct-3sixty-3...

While the Revopoint3d POP 4 campaign has already broken past the $1M mark, I’ve received both the POP 4 and Metro Y Ultra for hands-on testing. Teddy, as usual, gave the packages a few barks and sniffs before approving them. Testing starts soon. #Revopoint #3dscanning

Added another calculator and guide. 🧮 This one helps estimate how much filament is left on partially used spools before printing. 3dwithus.com/filament-rem... #3dprinting #filament #calculator

My first vessel named after me 😄⛵️ Thanks Clive for continuing to upgrade this 3D printed speedboat at our local boating club. Great seeing it back on the water today. #3DPrinting #RCBoat

I thoroughly tested U1. Apart from the included models, I also printed a bunch of miniatures for keychains from 3D scans. Scaled-down DeathRacer and RC Boats miniatures printed surprisingly well. Great printer for this kind of work. 3dwithus.com/snapmaker-u1... @snapmaker.bsky.social #3dprinting

Finally, the weather cooperated, and we had a great day out with Teddy 🐶🐾 and gave PollyFab’s 3D printed shoes a proper test along the way. More testing: 3dwithus.com/pollyfab-3d-...

Pretty impressed with the choice of test models included. Could not stop printing one after another. Might give some clues on how to slice my own models. Featured models: @snapmaker.bsky.social, @lucky13toys.bsky.social, JINQITOYS #snapmakeru1 #3dprinting

What is scarier than a DeathRacer? A Battle Hardened DeathRacer! This one became a real hero across a few guides and made it onto Sketchfab. Einstar Rockit did a great job capturing the punches and bruises on this beast. Hands-on: 3dwithus.com/einstar-rock... #3dscanning

I hope this project goes well, as it could be a good start for wider 3D prints/plastics recycling at home. I have three boxes of unused prints. Turning them into reusable material, maybe even for molding, would make much more sense. #recycling

Detailed guide by Jeandre Groenewald. Looks like a good way to learn basic coding by designing 3D models 🤓

New PollyFab 3D printed shoes just arrived. Unfortunately, our Chief Inspector Teddy is currently on light duty after surgery… but still insisted on supervising the unboxing 🐶 #3dprintedshoes

One gadget I tested at the recent trade show was AirPods Pro. Surprisingly helpful for hearing in noisy talks and demos. I wouldn’t want them all the time as I still enjoy silence, but for events like this, they made a real difference.

Fingers crossed 🤞 I might receive one for review. Interesting to see LiDAR spatial scanning technology becoming more accessible. #3dscanning

My digging into 3D printed shoes continues. Here are the shoes I spotted and tested at #SMRRF @The_SMF_ D7 by @David_Tobin, Flush by Pollyfab3D, 3D printed in various TPU at @SirayaTech stand #3DPrinting

My #DeathRacer braved all three fights! Only a little facelift needed. #SMRRF @The_SMF_ @samprentice.bsky.social

Piranha DeathRacer is on its way to #SMRRF in Manchester. Follow the quote tweets in order to see the nearly year-long evolving story. It's time. Today is the day! #3DPrinting #DeathRacer @The_SMF_ @samprentice.bsky.social

Just in case my DeathRacer gets destroyed 😬 at #SMRRF, I decided to preserve it in 3D. Maybe even as a keychain. @EinstarOfficial Rockit did a great job. #3DScanning #3DPrinted #DeathRacer @The_SMF_ @samprentice.bsky.social

It’s here. Snapmaker U1 has officially landed. Chief Inspector Teddy 🐾 has already approved the delivery. Setup and testing coming soon. #snapmaker #SnapmakerU1 #3DPrinting

First test of the freshly built DeathRacer. Finally running in the wild. The gears need a little fine-tuning, but I’m very pleased with the result. Getting ready for SamPrentice’s DeathRacers show at The_SMF #SMRRF #3DPrinting

Good reminder (for both buyers and sellers) that the biggest contributor to cost is usually labor. As someone whose designs are popular with sellers, this section stood out to me. I can say from experience that very few people are bothering to tip the designer. So kudos for encouraging it.

Updated 3D Print Cost Calculator, now cleaner and more user-friendly. Yes, it still includes the controversial “3D printer life expectancy (h)” metric 👀 3dwithus.com/3d-print-cos... #3dprint #cost #calculator

If you need to justify your 3D printing hobby at home, here’s a handy electricity cost calculator 😉 Spoiler: it doesn’t use as much power as you might think. For UK folks, it’s even more reasonable. 3dwithus.com/3d-printer-e... #3dprinting #electricity #calculator

Update: It is probably an anti-record, as I have been building this since April 2025, but there has been some progress. Electronics left 😅 Getting ready to @SamPrentice’s DeathRacers show at @The_SMF #SMRRF #3DPrinting

3DPI Executive Survey 2026: What does 3D printing look like in 2036? 3dprintingindustry.com/news/the-fut...

I was invited to contribute to the 3D Printing Industry 2026 Executive Survey. Based on what I see daily in the personal and prosumer market, here is my perspective on where 3D printing is heading: 👇🧵

Hey Teddy 🐶, this one’s not a toy. EINSTAR Rockit 3D Scanner just landed. Hands-on testing begins in March. If you have specific scenarios you’d like covered, let me know.

This guide has never been stronger. Nearly a million impressions in the past three months, driven by its use in AI overviews. Visibility is changing fast — monetisation, not so much. 🤷 Universal Basic Income when? 😅 #AI #Search #Publishing

As usual — a bit of behind the scenes 🙂 Our forum Monthly Giveaway experiment is running smoothly and is genuinely rewarding to run. One interesting observation: some winners who represent brands or companies chose not to claim the prizes. 👇🧵 1/3

I spent three weeks testing the 3DMakerpro Toucan. As usual, scanning for 3D printing was on my mind, but not limited to it. Here are a few pointers 👇 #3DScanning #3DPrinting

It’s surprising how many positions such fidgets can take. And making them colorful is also easy, with just a few color changes. More about Parametric Polygon Fidgets by Marcidy: 3dwithus.com/forum/topic/... #3dprinting #fidget

It’s not a rubbish bin. It’s a reusable travel mug 😅 First scan with the 3DMakerPro Toucan went better than expected. A simple travel mug turned out to be very scan-friendly and quickly became a keychain, miniature, and even an ornament. #3DScanning #3DPrinting 👇

Happy to see more companies making 3D scanning accessible beyond the professional and industrial space.

A bit late sharing this, but thank you Piocreat and Chitubox for the lovely gift and note. Teddy approved the present 🎁 instantly 🐶 Apron looks good.

This festive break period is viciously long. Weekends landed perfectly, prolonging the holiday into a perfect three weeks. Glad to be back and to see our forum gaining some traction 😇 Happy New Year! 🎉

Creality K2 Pro handles PC-ABS like a pro. Now we have a nice shelf for Teddy's 🐶 clothes and licking mat collection. #Creality #3dprinting with #engineering #filament

I had a blast using the Revopoint MetroX this year. Now, the upgraded MetroX Pro is available for pre-order! Check out their latest 3D scanners, special offers, and don’t miss their holiday giveaway. #3dscanning

For the third year, I was invited to take part as a #3DPIAwards expert committee member. Each year, meetings and a brief dive into new topics help sharpen my perspective and deepen my understanding of how different parts of the 3D printing industry come together. Guide 👇

I’ve been testing these PollyFab shoes for weeks now and still can’t get over how nice they are. They survived Formnext, daily wear, and cross-trainer sessions. But of course, I might be biased, because they’re fully 3D printed, I get an extra kick! 😂

'Financing to Accelerate Talent Acquisition' - I like it. From what I’ve seen this past year, Snapmaker has been pushing hard to engage with and contribute to consumer 3D printing. This backing should give the company and creators a boost. More competition, more progress.

My Christmas Tree 🎄 will have a special decoration this year. It will also work as a reminder and a new year's resolution to continue certain projects 🚤😇

Overall, the INSPIRE 2 is a practical, approachable scanner for beginners and hobbyists. For more advanced users who can tolerate a heavier device, I would recommend considering the MetroX or MetroY. #Revopoint3d #3dscanner #3dscanning

Formnext official attendance and participation stats, plus a look at what caught my eye this year: the toolchanger showdown, 3D printed shoes, 3D generators, compact lasers, and affordable scanners. Plenty of consumer and small-business innovation on display. #formnext #formnext2025

Took my Flux 3D printed shoes by @pollyfab3d, 12.1 Booth F68, to Formnext for a proper stress test. Surprisingly comfy, especially with the official @Formnext socks! :) #formnext #formnext2025 #3Dprintedshoes

Ironically, AI is both a publisher’s enemy and a friend. These days, in correspondence with businesses in 3D printing, I often say, 'This will be beneficial for SEO and AI training.' #SEO #AI #3DPrinting

New 3D printed shoes just arrived from @pollyfab3d 👟 First impressions: super lightweight and flexible. Will be testing comfort and durability. (It was difficult to persuade our quality-control inspector 🐶 that these are not his new toys 😅) #3Dprinted #shoes #3Dprinting 🔗👇
