Have you ever had a spool of PLA filament that snap in your hand like uncooked spaghetti? Or perhaps the filament broke inside the PTFE tube? Why does this happen, and how can it be avoided? Explanations here: ekunn.com/blog/2025/11... © cover image: Zack Freedman #3dprinting #pla #filament

I hate getting stuff packaged in wasteful styrofoam packing blocks... but if you ever have a project that would be instantly solved with the stuff, it's nowhere to be found.

"Unit Circle Triangles & Tray" now at Cults3D. 🎉 I made worksheets too that fit the triangles perfectly. My colleagues are eager to use these in upcoming lessons and I've been printing class sets of triangles in Jessie PLA. STLs: cults3d.com/:3729612 @cults3d.bsky.social @printedsolid.bsky.social

Do I need another 3D printer? No. Do I have room for another 3D printer? No. Am I eagerly waiting and hoping for a preorder announcement from Prusa? You bet!

Kids these days don't know how easy they have it. 67? Bah! We had to wait for an adult to say a number slightly larger than 9,000 before we'd get to break out our meme. Do you realize how rare that was?

Solving #cat fostering challenges with #3dprinting! I'm currently fostering a young cat named Chabi whose desire to live under a bed cannot be blocked by mere boxes or pillows. Solution: Scrap parts from the 3D Printed shelving system (Printy Panels) I designed last year!

Oh hey - the original Dummy 13 model was posted two years ago today. … What would you want to see in a version 2.0?

Been printing thousands of these (at least 5kg of PETG so far). What are they? I'll get around to sharing that eventually :) These will be part of a giveaway next time I make it to a maker fair or RepRap festival.

I've been playing with a new string idea, I'm a bit obsessed! 😆

I have too many perfectly functioning Prusa MK3 & MK4 3D printers to justify buying a Core One... But if they ever released a version of the Core One with 2 printheads, well, I'd find a way to convince myself to upgrade/replace them all.

#TodaysMomentOfAwesome Working the CocoaPress booth at @3dprintopia.bsky.social my 1st 3D print event Walking around, talking to people, seeing the amazing ideas that come from Cartesian planes & melting plastic to become absolutely incredible designs. 11/10 would recommend #EduSky #MakerEdu

I've posted a requested update to one of my #3dprinted mini monster models. The Mini Skeleton now has a 3rd pose: double pointed fingers. It's perfect for balancing multiple skulls at the same time! www.printables.com/model/100769...

It's a good thing I'm out of space for 3D printers. If I wasn't, I'd be tempted to break my personal rule against backing expensive Kickstarters. #3dprinting #toolchanger

Finished printing and assembling this Pop Fidget toy designed by @3dprinty.xyz! The inside has a soft TPU gasket that does the job of giving these buttons a nice pop. Really cool to get a chance to use multiple material types in a build! #3dprint #3d #fidget #fidgettoy

Hi, #3dprinting. As of a few weeks ago, I'm unemployed. I want to do this full time. Be the filament librarian for real instead of just on the weekends, like I have for the last six years. Can you help? forum.filamentcolors.xyz/d/31-a-call-... Reposts appreciated!

I finally figured out how to make a collapsing Buster sword with a replaceable blade! 😲The rivets screw in and trap the blade to the guard. This sword is so much fun, and available right now on @thangs3d.bsky.social! Download: than.gs/m/1368140

Zelda has been dealing with some worse health issues the last few months. We're still working though it, but I was thrilled to find her hanging out at her favorite people watching spot for the first time in a while.

Check out these two great remixes to my #3dprinted Giant Molecualr Model Kit! TimeOut@Home created a 5-bond atom: www.printables.com/model/131197... Jose L. González created a double bond that uses only a single port: www.printables.com/model/131177... #science #education #3dprinting

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

I had to try Gargoyles in Spaaaace!

Awesome adaptive devices at #RMRRF.

S on Printables is first posted a print for my newest design! It hasn't been put to use storing Switch Game cartridges yet, but it looks ready for the task! www.printables.com/make/2612231 (Have I mentioned that I love that makes on Printables now get their own pages?)

Remix time! @transbat.bsky.social has released a preprinted version of my Mini Dracula model so you can print your own Count Chocula! 🧛🍫 www.printables.com/model/1034779

Meanwhile, this is flying under the radar somewhat..! youtu.be/q85lZdNStGs?...

If you're into #3Dprinting and puzzles, you've come across 3D Printy's designs. Now it's time to read about him and his creative process! https://all3dp.com/2/designer-spotlight-3d-printy/

Nice! all3dp.bsky.social spotlighted my #3dprinting designs :) The interview also reveals my original plan for a channel name. Should I have stuck with "Idle Trifles" or is "3D Printy" better? all3dp.com/2/designer-s...

One week of #3dprinting printing nothing but atoms and bonds! Video scheduled to premiere at midnight EDT. youtu.be/iVCQ7WUnU90

I've added a few new pieces to the #3dprinted Giant Molecular Model Kit! - The 1-bond atom now comes in a smaller hydrogen-themed variant. - All bond have a locking option, for cases where you don't want atoms to rotate freely. 3dprinty.xyz/project/147/...

Here we go! all3dp.com/4/the-creato... @joeltelling.bsky.social

First print of my Giant Molecular Model Kit - by S on Printables! www.printables.com/model/126457... The fuzzy skin texture on the atoms gives them a nice soft look. With newer slicers, it's easy to "fuzzify" just the outer surface while keeping the mechanical threads smooth. #3dprinting #science
