#TodaysMomentOfAwesome Reflecting on the 1st half of 25-26 I keep coming back to "The correct analogy of the human mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled, the sparking of which produces an impulse toward original thought & an ardent desire for Truth." --Plutarch

If the first 3 seconds of a video has a voice-over in generic 3rd person past tense ("The man placed a $20 bill in his shoe"), that video is an instant down vote and skip.

One might think the YouTube algorithm would learn I treat AI slop the same way a cat handles tape clinging to its back paw.

Another mathematical model! 🎉

"Conic Sections Cone" shows a hyperbola, parabola, ellipse, and circle formed by planes cutting a cone. Both nappes of the cone together illustrates the two branches of a hyperbola.

Now at Cults3D. More in comments.

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?

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.

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?
October 13, 2025 at 3:09 PM
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 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

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!
