This is awesome! I want ‘em all. #diy#3dprinting

Slight change of plan. I’ve completely assembled the model so I can take care of all the gaps/seams at the same time. Another light test. #StarTrek#3DPrinting#ScaleModels#MKMModelwerx

Next up we have scheduled the next 3D print & pizza meetup for 4 september 2025.
The meetup is open to everyone (including non-members) that are interested in #3DPrinting. Bring your projects, printers or maybe even your failed prints to discuss them with other enthusiasts.
📆 4 September 2025
🕕 18:00-23:00
📍 #Hackerspace Pixelbar, Schiemond 20, in space K14 #Rotterdam

I think the roll of eSUN ABS+ I got isn’t very good. Haven’t been able to tune settings for like a day.
I’m sure there is something to be done besides throwing almost a full roll of filament away.
I don’t own a filament dryer yet, but I think that might also be step in the right direction?



I think I still need to work on my PETG settings #3DPrinting
My latest blog post: Hacking an IKEA HÖVOLM into a Helmet Rack
https://mikecoats.com/hovolm-helmet-rack/
I received my first ever 3D printer as a present recently, so I decided to put it to some practical use. I designed some new hooks to hold bike helmets securely on an IKEA HÖVOLM.

Time to relax with some MIDI floppies. I hope I remembered to rewind them 😄

3D-printed, modified Star Wars DLT-19X heavy blaster rifle is mostly complete! Major paint touch-up is done as of about 10 minutes ago. Next up is a ton of small paint touch-ups all over and then I do some weathering test pieces before I move onto that stage.... And it will theoretically be finished at some point, eventually. :)

I finally have a AA battery tray for my MessagePad 2100! I was able to remix an existing 3D model so it worked with some AA battery springs I already had.
The model is pretty tricky to print and took several tries to get right. It's not perfect but it's working.

I’ve been given the opportunity to be volunteer project lead on installing a new 3D printer at the local vintage airplane museum.
I just found out it’s a freakin’ Stratasys Fortus 450! That’s a lot of horsepower to push plastic! This is going to be interesting.

DIY Dual-Screen Cyberdeck: Sleek Design, Ultimate Functionality - SECTOR 07

I have written down all that I know about designing functional mechanical parts for 3d-printing. Took two years, but I finally managed to finish it... Please let me know what you think!

The state of 3d-printing from OpenBSD by Andrew Hewus Fresh
@AFresh1
It's possible to do some 3d printing related things on an OpenBSD machine, but there are a bunch of popular tools that aren't available in the ports tree. We will talk about some of the different classes of software and what things are popular and whether they are currently available on OpenBSD and what the blockers are from getting those into the ports tree.

Today was fun! Printed this cool skelly cat for @craftykraken.
Also made a bunch of filament clips overnight. Black/blue are my fav colours, so naturally…
