I'm working om something to streamline my 3D model release pipeline to different platforms. Some of you 3D designers & modelers might find this interesting. It's CLI based for now and still needs work. Keep you posted.

I'm a pretty down-to-earth guy, but honestly, this makes all the hard work totally worth it! Seeing my designs printed and displayed like that really made my week. Thanks so much for the support, @phantomprinter.bsky.social!

It's always amusing to see negative feedback on one of my models – like, "This model is awful, I keep failing to print it," especially when it has been downloaded 15,000+ times and received 150+ positive reviews. It's probably not the model's fault! πŸ˜‰

I’ve just said goodbye to my Anycubic Kobra 3 Max Combo.

It’s off to a school where a friend teaches and will be used in their STEM classes, which honestly feels like the perfect next chapter.

If it sparks even one student’s passion for designing and making, it’s exactly where it belongs.

I used to use it, but after Bluesky launched, I just gave it up.

The conversion is involved. I've watched the video 3 times already. And yes, the H2D toolhead and bed would become obsolete, which is a bummer. But I'm needing the tool changer more than the 2 toolheads the H2D provides now.

Bit the bullet on a multi-nozzle printer. I was close to getting the @snapmaker.bsky.social U1, but decided to convert my @bambulabglobal.bsky.social H2D to an H2C (Vortek). More flexible, at least 7 colors, Bambu reliability, and I stay in the same ecosystem. MakerWorld points sealed the deal.

Creating shadow boxes of your favourite childhood anime has some extra consequences πŸ˜…

Just wrapped up my 3rd Saint Seiya shadow box, featuring one of my all-time favorite characters: Saint Andromeda Shun

This design really pushed me. I wanted to capture all the fine, intricate details, which made it a challenge, but it was absolutely worth the effort.

Two more to complete the set.

preFlight logo. Similar to the Slic3r logo but with light blue and orange color and a rocket crossing it.

Showcase of the Athena perimeter generator compared to Arachne. The perimeters are better filled and more regular.

Table comparing Brick Layers with interlocking perimeters. The mechanism of this new slicer is based on X/Y variations and over-extrusion to compress plastic between the voids while. Brick Layers is based on Z variation. It claims 5 to 15% strength increase.

preFlight is a new open source slicer based on #PrusaSlicer but with deep rework of its internals.
- Truely 64bit
- GCode processing in memory
- Athena algo improving over Arachne
- Interlocking perimeters similar to brick layers
- Deeper #RRF integration

I’m not sure how many of you are familiar with or fans of the anime Saint Seiya, but it holds a special place in my heart. I watched it endlessly as a kid.

Creating shadow boxes of the original Bronze Saints has been on my to do list for a long time.

Now I have three more to go πŸ˜‰

I'm on Windows 11, and every update is a step backwards. They are running Windows OS into the ground ...

Well FML!! 😠
Worked on a new design for hours yesterday. Left Fusion open and the PC running, to hibernate, like usual.

Came back to it today and Fusion was closed, which was sus, and now all the work is gone πŸ˜”

I guess I forgot to save ... what a waste ...

Really happy to finally be able to use my 2nd @bambulabglobal.bsky.social AMS 2 Pro (didn't have any space for it).

Biqu did a great job designing the Panda Perch. Might get one for my X1C too. The current X1C setup is a bit dodgy πŸ˜…

Look what just showed up at my front door. Ordered these on Black Friday, so I’ve been waiting quite a while. I can finally put my second AMS 2 Pro to work on my H2D.

Super curious to see how much filament the feed rack can handle. If it performs the way I expect, I might be ordering a few more πŸ˜„

Just finished this new Valentine shadow box. The dripping heart and layered colors give it a lot of depth without making it complicated to print.

Works great framed, on a shelf, or as a handmade Valentine gift.

Now available. Links in bio.

I’ve finally committed some time to creating a small portfolio/bio webpage, and it’s done πŸ˜„

Feedback is always welcome. Big thanks to @randomizy.bsky.social for inspiring me to make one myself and for pointing me to Carrd with her post.

Excited to share this with you. This is my very first LEGO focused design & I’m honestly in love with it. Some of you already know I’m a huge LEGO fan & AFOL, so this was bound to happen πŸ˜„

The model brings together several 3D printing techniques like HueForge.

I’ll be releasing this very soon πŸš€
