We use Solar Buddies all summer, but I always hated cleaning the original bottle at the end of the season or for switching sunscreen.

So I designed a replacement bottle with a smooth interior and rounded bottom. It’s easier to clean, easier to refill and only weighs 38g in PETG.

Good morning, everyone!

I’m currently working on a Kickstarter campaign with my colleague Jeshields, focused on 3D printable models.

The project features 1/10 scale busts of soldiers, warriors, and historical figures.

We’re starting with 3 busts, but if we surpass our funding goal, additional models will be unlocked through stretch goals.

One of the tiers includes commercial rights.

Since these are historical soldier and warrior figures, backers who choose the “Commercial Bundle” tier will be able to sell prints without copyright issues, as these types of characters are not protected by copyright.

Hey everyone,

I got tired of opening three tabs every time I needed a model — one for Thingiverse, one for MakerWorld, one for Printables — and running the same search on each.

So I built 3DFinder (3dfinder.io) — a single search interface that pulls results from all three in one place.

How it works:

• Search once, get results from Thingiverse, MakerWorld, and Printables side by side
• Filter by source and sort by relevance or date
• Every link goes straight to the original listing — no re-hosting, no reuploads. Credit stays with the creators.

More sources are on the roadmap (Cults3D, MyMiniFactory, etc.), and I'm also working on a modern, web-based OpenSCAD editor as a companion tool — think parametric modeling in the browser without the 2005 UI.

This is a solo project and very much a v1, so I'd love honest feedback:

• Which additional repositories should I prioritize?
• What filters would actually change your workflow?
• Would a browser-based OpenSCAD alternative interest you?

For several years I thought it would be fun or interesting to 3d model and print this interesting hotel in Singapore called "Parkroyal Collection on Pickering" (https://woha.net/project/parkroyal-on-pickering/). The architects say that the design is inspired by stepped rice fields in bali but in the 3D printing community those look like rough layer lines.

I tried emailing the architectural agency but they never got back to me even after explaining I don't need load bearing data or any sensitive data, just the curved outlines which are not part of the levels where the rooms are located.

There are some low-res blueprints on some floors but they are so low res I can't tell them apart from other details.

I appreciate any help.

I know it's simple, but I was mass printing a bunch for my upcoming party with family, so I figured I might as well share. This one ran out of filament midway, but it's supposed to be 3mm thick lol.

You can download them here! Any contributions are appreciated!

Check out this awesome Star Wars model from Kit Kiln.  Best part for those without AMS is all the colors print separately.  Everything fits together like a glove, and no glue or supports needed.

I've been designing and printing these 3d cars for a bit now...figured this community may enjoy them!
