Reposting, fixing links... When I joined a week ago, I was stunned by how many #3DPrinting folks are already here. Great "Starter Packs" below! List 1 by @sliverbaer.bsky.social bsky.app/starter-pack... & List 2 bsky.app/starter-pack... And by @chrispirillo.bsky.social bsky.app/starter-pack...

Recently discovered "Slope Pals" on Cults3D. This Jack-o'-Lantern is a cutie! 🎃 @cults3d.bsky.social

🎉 New post! My "Alphabet Ball" is both fun and practical. It is inspired by an activity I have been doing in occupational therapy sessions for my hands. Now I have my own and in pretty colors too! Files now at Cults3D: cults3d.com/:5118431 @cults3d.bsky.social

My daughter asked for Cookiecad Pixie Dust. Mine is Atomic Filament Indigo Golden Sparkle and Printed Solid Mystery Orange. The Jessie Design White and Soul Black Glitter is a nice clean combination too. "Alphabet Ball" at Cults3D. @cookiecad.com @printedsolid.bsky.social @cults3d.bsky.social

Good morning.

Sneak peek.

Nice print of a new variation of my "Phone Caddy Box." Looks great in Printed Solid Yellow Bird. I will post the update to Cults3D soon. This one is going straight to the classroom for one of my colleagues. 😊📵😉 @cults3d.bsky.social @printedsolid.bsky.social

This is a local intersection in my community. I felt it appropriate to share it with those who remember Tom Skerritt fondly. RIP. #TomSkerritt #TopGun

RIP Tom Skerritt, a reliable and enduring actor who you probably remember from...everything, basically. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Fulfilling some requests for my fellow math teachers! Printing class sets is so satisfying. 😊

I'm on a roll! Another post on the Cults3D home page. Woohoo! I caught this screenshot just before it gets bumped. 😊 @cults3d.bsky.social

My son wanted to make some "Lookies" for a friend, so we designed this together. Very cute! This model prints without supports. Free at Cults3D. Enjoy! @cults3d.bsky.social cults3d.com/:5057054

P.S. I've been really pleased with how well these printed on my @prusa3d.com XL without supports. I found slightly better quality when printing two at a time. STL at Cults3D. @cults3d.bsky.social

My post of my post is now posted on the Cults3D home page. Yea! 😆 @cults3d.bsky.social

🎉New post! Literally. I posted my new post about my new post! "BRB Post" is now an essential element of my classroom restroom pass policy. I made some for other teachers too. Great visual for the whole class when someone is out. "New post" at Cults3D: cults3d.com/:5052123 @cults3d.bsky.social

P.S. PrintedSolid Mystery Orange and Neon Green make for a terrific combination for my "BRB Post." The bright colors make it so easy to see among the many students in my class. @printedsolid.bsky.social

I made these "Flat Numbers" for another teacher to label his small whiteboards around his classroom that students use in groups. They look fantastic! Models now at Cults3D: cults3d.com/:5051729. @cults3d.bsky.social

Look! No tower! 🤯 First @prusa3d.com XL print without a wipe tower. Overall I'm pleased. All "blobs" flicked off, but some perimeters didn't have enough time to prime. I could see how this would work much better with a model that has more infill & perimeters. STL soon to @cults3d.bsky.social.

Always great to wake up and find my design on the Cults3D home page. Yea! 😊 @cults3d.bsky.social

One more new post for tonight: "Not a Seat Sign" I've already used these several times in my classroom since I made them. Super easy to tag desks as off limits for various activities. STL at Cults3D: cults3d.com/:5042343. @cults3d.bsky.social

🎉 New Post! "Display Numbers" My colleague and I wanted a vibrant way to label desks for group numbers in our classrooms. I put these together for #3Dprinting. STL files at Cults3D: cults3d.com/:5042038 @cults3d.bsky.social

Weekend Goal: Get caught up with my Cults3D posts! I have five new designs to get out to the world. Four of them are practical prints for classroom management. Stay tuned... @cults3d.bsky.social

My first significant foray into "painting" with PrusaSlicer. I had a special request for a fun Falcon in our school colors. I eventually found an "eagle" by Wannub on MakerWorld that fit the bill (beak?), and I soared into painting it with school pride! Printed on @prusa3d.com XL. Go Falcons!

The back looks fantastic too! I was also impressed with how well the supports all came off. Printed with Paramount3D and PrintedSolid Jessie PLA. @printedsolid.bsky.social

I have now tried setting up the file from scratch with PrusaSlicer v 3.0.0-alpha12 and I have the same result: fuzzy skin on inner walls within the model. Can anyone please help point me in the right direction to report this issue to @prusa3d.com as a bug report? See original post below. Thanks!

Abby Brown@abbymath.bsky.social

I have a PrusaSlicer question/bug report. @prusa3d.com 6/24: Saved a .3mf file with "Paint-On Fuzzy Skin" w/ only outer walls fuzzy. Today: PS v 2.9.6 (released 6/25) and slice model, now fuzzy skin in between parts (screenshot). Re-painting fuzzy skin still creates unwanted "fuzz" in middle. 🤷‍♀️

I'm going to revisit some of my "Flat Jacks" from 2022 today. This was a fun project based on the jack-o'-lantern models that my family designed in earlier years. Maybe I will be inspired to make a new one... 🤔 🎃🎃🎃 at Cults3D. @cults3d.bsky.social

Nice meeting Greg from @cookiecad.com at the @makerfaireoc.com last weekend. 😊 I hadn't tried their filament yet, but I love their colors. My daughter picked out a spool of Vanilla Redberry that we took home. We chose a few of my models to print and the filament looks fantastic! 🤍🩷

Some practical #3DPrinting last weekend worked very well in my classroom for a few different activities last week. I have 46 seats this year for my largest class, so my other classes have extra desks. I made some for other teachers too. Model coming soon to Cults3D. @cults3d.bsky.social.

🎉 New Post! "Squeezer Set" ☀️ My spin on the toothpaste squeezer. Our sunscreen is a tough squeeze this summer and we decided that different widths work well as a set. Now I have little gifts for friends and family this summer too! Model at Cults3D. Link in bio and comments. @cults3d.bsky.social

9 July

Since my inspiration was sunscreen, I felt compelled to print in bright summer colors. Printed Solid Yellow Bird, Cyan, Safety Orange, & White. I also made a very cute set with filament swaps too! More photos in post at Cults3D: cults3d.com/:4649111 @cults3d.bsky.social @printedsolid.bsky.social

🥳 Top row of Cults3D Best Designs! 🏆 Someday I'll get that lead featured photo, but for now this is a bright start to my day! 😆😊 @cults3d.bsky.social

Abby Brown@abbymath.bsky.social

🎉 New Post! I made this "Straight Sword" for a friend's costume. Most of what I found online was too fancy and/or looked unprintable. Easier (and more fun) to design my own! Prints in two parts with single extrusion, and I didn't need glue. At Cults3D. Link in bio & comments. @cults3d.bsky.social

To make it large, I utilized the diagonal of my Prusa XL. We printed in Prusament Galaxy Black and Hatchbox Silver PLA. The pieces slide together. A smaller model is posted too for MK4S size printers. STLs at Cults3D: cults3d.com/:4644467 @cults3d.bsky.social @prusa3d.com #3DPrinting

Sneak peek! 😉 Hahaha! Not really, since the boxes are filled with my latest project and you can't see inside. Something simple and practical. My own spin on a popular concept. Coming soon to Cults3D. @cults3d.bsky.social

Another Cults3D "Best Design"! 🏆 I love waking up to see one of my posts on the site homepage. 😊 Thanks for the support! @cults3d.bsky.social

New Post! 🎉 This is a fun one! 🍨 I turned my Ice Cream Sandwich model into a Fidget Clicker! Print with one flavor or Neapolitan style. The use of "Fuzzy Skin" makes it even more delicious! Model files now at Cults3D. Link in bio & comments. @cults3d.bsky.social

The single flavor sandwich was printed with one filament swap on my MK4S. The four-color version on my XL. Printed Solid Brown, Magenta, White and Hatchbox Copper, Brown, White. STLs at Cults3D: cults3d.com/:4594235 @cults3d.bsky.social @prusa3d.com @printedsolid.bsky.social
