Patent trolls found MakerWorld. Got a patent claim on my Shelly DIN mount remix. Pro tip: before claiming ownership, make sure the patent is actually yours and enforceable outside your country. Seriously pathetic.

I turned my ChatGPT and Claude conversations into a searchable knowledge base. The biggest shift was not better prompts. It was being able to find past decisions, reuse solved work, and spot patterns in how I actually use AI. thecraftymaker.substack.com/p/youre-sitt...

Finished a new lamp design, Pendulum. White dome shade, dark green base, gold silk halo ring, and sized for a 60mm LED puck. Based on a lamp from Poland and now up for subscribers on Patreon, Thangs and Printables. Links in bio. #3dprint #lights #3ddesign

CAVEMAN CLAUDE SKILL: PROMPTS IN CLASSICAL CHINESE Claude code skill "caveman" just added 文言文 (wenyan) mode which uses classical chinese to cut prompt size by up to 60%. Using a 2000 yr old language as a compression layer for tokens is just insane lol github.com/juliusbrusse...

Everything looked right … until it didn’t. In this article, I explore a different angle on AI. Not as a code generator, but as a way to challenge models in Domain Driven Design earlier. thecraftymaker.substack.com/p/ai-wont-do...

Proximus, a Belgian telecom provider, just launched a new ad featuring a fictional 3D print shop to tell their story. What used to feel niche or experimental is now recognizable enough for a broad audience. 3D printing is clearly going mainstream 🚀 vimeo.com/1108095182?f...

Chuck Norris actually died 20 years ago. Death just didn’t have the courage to tell him. When it finally did, Chuck beat Death senseless and took over the job himself.

Bought a Zeapon motorized camera slider + pan head yesterday. Really excited to use it for the first time, so I hope it gets here fast. Looking forward to creating dynamic product shots.

Darn it Lego, stop announcing awesome models. My wallet is crying already ...

It's been a while since I've designed some 3D printed jewellery, but check out these cute shamrock earrings. Ready in time for St. Patrick's Day 🍀☘️ Releasing by the end of this week. #saintpatricksday #jewellery #3dprint

I'm working om something to streamline my 3D model release pipeline to different platforms. Some of you 3D designers & modelers might find this interesting. It's CLI based for now and still needs work. Keep you posted. #workinprogress #3dmodeling

If this is true I'm going to break the bank so hard on this 🐉🐉 #lego #rumors

Gotta love those Fillamentum filament colors 💜💜💜

I'm a pretty down-to-earth guy, but honestly, this makes all the hard work totally worth it! Seeing my designs printed and displayed like that really made my week. Thanks so much for the support, @phantomprinter.bsky.social!

Trust me your models are awesome!

It's always amusing to see negative feedback on one of my models – like, "This model is awful, I keep failing to print it," especially when it has been downloaded 15,000+ times and received 150+ positive reviews. It's probably not the model's fault! 😉

I’ve just said goodbye to my Anycubic Kobra 3 Max Combo. It’s off to a school where a friend teaches and will be used in their STEM classes, which honestly feels like the perfect next chapter. If it sparks even one student’s passion for designing and making, it’s exactly where it belongs.

Released this awesome display for the #lego Speed Champions #backtothefuture Time Machine. Fully 3D printable and a Hueforge backplate. Get it now on your favourite 3D model repositories. Links in bio.

Bit the bullet on a multi-nozzle printer. I was close to getting the @snapmaker.bsky.social U1, but decided to convert my @bambulabglobal.bsky.social H2D to an H2C (Vortek). More flexible, at least 7 colors, Bambu reliability, and I stay in the same ecosystem. MakerWorld points sealed the deal.

Creating shadow boxes of your favourite childhood anime has some extra consequences 😅 Decided the complete series again 😸 #SaintSeiya

Just wrapped up my 3rd Saint Seiya shadow box, featuring one of my all-time favorite characters: Saint Andromeda Shun This design really pushed me. I wanted to capture all the fine, intricate details, which made it a challenge, but it was absolutely worth the effort. Two more to complete the set.

preFlight is a new open source slicer based on #PrusaSlicer but with deep rework of its internals. - Truely 64bit - GCode processing in memory - Athena algo improving over Arachne - Interlocking perimeters similar to brick layers - Deeper #RRF integration ➡️ github.com/oozebot/preF... #3dprinting

Finally released my #fallout mini nuke lamp. 3D printed in sections for easy assembly. Now available. Links in bio. #3dmodel #3dprinter

Ok, this is insane. That speed 😱😱😱 youtu.be/pIkXwsXyq_k?...

Shoutout to @lucky13toys.bsky.social on the latest release! www.printables.com/article/intr...

I’m not sure how many of you are familiar with or fans of the anime Saint Seiya, but it holds a special place in my heart. I watched it endlessly as a kid. Creating shadow boxes of the original Bronze Saints has been on my to do list for a long time. Now I have three more to go 😉

Well FML!! 😠 Worked on a new design for hours yesterday. Left Fusion open and the PC running, to hibernate, like usual. Came back to it today and Fusion was closed, which was sus, and now all the work is gone 😔 I guess I forgot to save ... what a waste ...

Really happy to finally be able to use my 2nd @bambulabglobal.bsky.social AMS 2 Pro (didn't have any space for it). Biqu did a great job designing the Panda Perch. Might get one for my X1C too. The current X1C setup is a bit dodgy 😅

Look what just showed up at my front door. Ordered these on Black Friday, so I’ve been waiting quite a while. I can finally put my second AMS 2 Pro to work on my H2D. Super curious to see how much filament the feed rack can handle. If it performs the way I expect, I might be ordering a few more 😄

Just finished this new Valentine shadow box. The dripping heart and layered colors give it a lot of depth without making it complicated to print. Works great framed, on a shelf, or as a handmade Valentine gift. Now available. Links in bio. #HotMakes #ValentinesDay #3dprint #3dmodeling

This scene gave me the chills. That whole episode has so much lore in it, it's crazy!! #fallout

Backed this ultrasonic workstation from Chawke on @kickstarter.com. I was actually looking for a ultrasonic cutter, but this has sanding and welding too. Looking forward to having this in my hands 😊 www.kickstarter.com/projects/cha...

I’ve finally committed some time to creating a small portfolio/bio webpage, and it’s done 😄 thecraftymaker.com Feedback is always welcome. Big thanks to @randomizy.bsky.social for inspiring me to make one myself and for pointing me to Carrd with her post.

Happy 29th anniversary to Final Fantasy VII. It remains one of the most memorable games ever for me, with an unforgettable story and soundtrack. #gaming #retro #FinalFantasyVII

Excited to share this with you. This is my very first LEGO focused design & I’m honestly in love with it. Some of you already know I’m a huge LEGO fan & AFOL, so this was bound to happen 😄 The model brings together several 3D printing techniques like HueForge. I’ll be releasing this very soon 🚀
