I should have 3D printed Halloween 🎃 props for our Teddy, but his daycare beat me to it 🐶 #Halloween #Props

My Comic Con dive-in continues. I was pleased to see many 3D printed and laser-cut projects, props, and fan art featured across booths at the event organized by #creedconventions in #southendonsea, UK. #ComicCon #3DPrinting #LaserCutting #Makers #Cosplay #Props

If only the noise and dust were easier to control, CNC would be a fascinating discipline that’s never been more accessible.

Generators are getting better and better. I was so pleased with the posture and details that I decided to give 8-color, 541 filament changes a run on the Creality K2 Pro with 2 CFSs. Here is the result: #3DPrinting #3DPrint #CrealityK2Pro #3DPrintedAvatar

Resin prints are spectacular! If the machine becomes outdated, we’re forced to remove the entry from the guide, so it’s a waste not to feature these outstanding makes somewhere else. Gallery? Ideas?

What started as model boat rubble ended up as a scanned, scaled, and 3D printed RC boat. Big thanks to Clive from SouthendMBC for putting it together and making it work on the water #SouthendOnSea #3DScanning #3DPrinting

MetroY's scanner-to-PC/mobile wireless streaming is an interesting and welcome feature. A real workflow boost if it performs as promised. #3dscanning

Update: The Riviera Racing team made it to Monaco! 🌊 Salt corrosion cut the final race short, but their progress and spirit are inspiring. I keep sharing their story with the brands in #3Dprinting - projects like this deserve backing. @eng.cam.ac.uk @snapmaker #Engineering

Yet again, the @Creality3dP K2 Plus + @sunluofficial E2 combo helped combat warping forces and humidity when printing in PC-ABS and other engineering-grade materials.

Max Funkner @maxfunkner.bsky.social · Jul 22

The original PLA window handle cracked after a year of daily use. I printed it again in Inslogic PC-ABS. What impressed me was that I could pull it off on a home 3D printer (with a reinforced nozzle, controlled heated environment, and a filament dryer).
