Happy Prime Tuesday! Tonight's "How Would You Slice That?" guest is Luis Garcia. He makes life-size statues of anime and pop-culture characters and illustrates that impact isn't always measured in "likes". Join us live at 8 PM EDT if you can. Links below!

Want to see the printers I've posted these last 19 days. See all of these and more ready to print live at @3DPrintopia less than 7 days from now. The only real limit is how much electricity I can pump into the booth!

A good design exercise for @openscad.bsky.social is to make makerchips, SVG import, text linear_extrude, and shape iteration. Don’t have an MMU/AMS? Just manually swap filament for the first and last layers with your pop color. Of course this can all be done in the slicer.

It sure is an Makergear M2! It was my best buddy for nine years!

Facebook reminded me that 10 years ago, I did my first two color print with filament swaps! So much easier nowadays! :) #3DPrinting
