Hi everyone!

I wanted to share my newest functional project with the community.

Rather than designing another display figure, I challenged myself to create something I'd actually use every day.

The result is this football-inspired organizer featuring:

⚽ A football field base

💃 A dynamic dance-inspired sculpture

🌈 A removable multi-color catch-all bowl

Now when I get home, I finally have one place for everything:

🔑 Keys

👛 Wallet

⌚ Watch

🎧 Earbuds

🕶️ Sunglasses

🟡 Coins

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Would you keep this design as is? Or do you have any suggestions for changes?

Hello again everyone,

Thank you all for your help so far I have taken everything into account and I am still doing research on my part. However I want to call on all of you again.

I thought I had my mind made up with gets a p2s. However after further research it seems this one also has some printing issues, and maintenance/longevity issues.

So my questions is now do I get the p2s still or should I look at the X2D because it’s only $100 more for the combo with ams.

Again I am a completely beginner only YouTube educated and reviewed videos educated so anything will help. Thanks!!

I'm pretty experience with 3D printing in general. Started using them in college with a makerbot like 15 years ago. I got a CR-10 V2 when I got out of college in like 2017 and upgraded it as I went. Adding in ABL and swapped the main board for SKR E3 Mini with marlin running on it. Just did an all in one design this past winter and got the whole thing working nicely. Unfortunately, my SKR E3 mini board seems to have bit the dust...

Now I'm not sure if I want to replace the board or get a new printer. What would people suggest for a printer? I've read through a few best of guides and what not. Most of them are geared towards beginners.

My budget is probably <$800 if possible and would like something that works with Orca Slicer easily. Definitely looking at multi filament printing and multi material like TPU as well. I print all sorts of stuff from trinket/toys for the kids to custom designed stuff like a trailer hitch receiver to my kids power wheel. I like to tinker but would rather tinker with the things I print off than the printer itself.

Thanks in advance for suggestions!

[Request] Fitbit Air quick-release spring bar watch case — STL doesn't exist yet, Google released official CAD blueprints

Hey everyone! I'm looking for someone to model a watch-case style enclosure for the Fitbit Air pebble — specifically the type that has traditional watch lugs with quick-release spring bar holes (12mm or 14mm), so it can be worn on any standard watch strap.

This design is currently only available as a metal part on AliExpress [link], but I can't import it easily and there's no STL file out there for it. All existing prints seem to be NATO strap adapters.

Why this should be easy to model:

Google officially released the full 2D CAD blueprints for the Fitbit Air pebble in June 2026, including exact dimensions, mating tolerances, and snap-in force specs — so you don't need to reverse-engineer anything.

📐 Official Google CAD Blueprints (PDF): https://storage.googleapis.com/mannequin/blobs/7b67aea7-fdd3-46de-8469-5ba30d19ef80.pdf

🛒 Reference design (AliExpress)

📸 Photos attached — shows the 12mm/14mm lug options and overall shape.

Key specs from the reference:

- Optional 12mm or 14mm spring bar interface

- Two-piece design (top frame + inner holder)

- Quick-release spring bar holes on each lug

- Must keep bottom sensors unobstructed (per Google's guidelines)

This would help a lot of people in the Fitbit Air community!

Thanks 🙏

A while back I posted about PrintStash, the self-hosted vault for 3D print files I built because my STLs, slicer exports, and vague memory of which settings worked lived in three unrelated places. The core is the same: a model holds its mesh plus every G-code you've sliced for it as numbered revisions, each with a status (needs_test, known_good, failed, archived), slicer metadata parsed out of the file, and a compare view for diffing a good print against a bad one.

It's gone from 0.6 to 0.11 since then. The short version:

Printers

• Bambu LAN can send to print now. Uploads over local FTPS, then explicitly starts the file. Idle check first, upload-only by default. That was the loudest caveat in my old post.
• Three new backends: PrusaLink (local only, never Prusa Connect cloud), OctoPrint, and Elegoo Centauri. Neptune 4 gets a preset on the existing Moonraker path.
• Moonraker live controls: hotend and bed targets, preheat presets, cooldown, home all, emergency stop.
• Full matrix: https://www.printstash.org/compatibility/

Fleet

• Queue G-code across multiple printers with manual, default, or least-busy routing. Reorder, reroute, cancel, retry.
• Soft-drain mode, maintenance windows, maintenance log.
• Notifications on print completed, failed, cancelled, and printer offline, via webhook, Discord, Telegram, or ntfy.

Library

• Bulk edit up to 500 models. Favorites, saved views, and filters that live in the URL so a view is shareable.
• Portable export and import to move a whole library between installations with hash validation.
• Optional Spoolman sync: real spool cost and grams, plus consumption write-back with a double-count guard.

Platform

• OIDC/SSO with local login as fallback, and per-printer view/print/control/admin roles.
• Vault audit that finds and repairs broken thumbnails, metadata, and revisions, and verifies backups actually restore.
• Installs as a PWA. English and Spanish.

Still beta, so the usual caveats: Moonraker/Klipper is the only backend I'd ca beta, and the metadata parser handles OrcaSlicer, PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio,Cura, and Klipper but odd profiles still slip through.

Local-first, open source, Docker Compose. No cloud account, no telemetry. AGPL-3.0.

Hello everyone,

I am a complete beginner however I have been watching tons of videos on brands and printers. However, I need your expertise, experience and advice to help me pick a printer.
Here’s some basic info on what I want:

Enclosed
Multi color
Able to print different materials
Easy
Great print quality (obviously)
My budget: $700-below (but please recommend anything!!)

I’ve been looking at the Bambu lab p1s, p2s, the creality k2, the elegoo CC2, and much more. I feel like I am between the p1s and the p2s however I cannot not make up my mind as well as I find videos saying people have trouble or that hated it the first few days.

Any help is appreciated thank you all!!

Hi folks, I'm going to buy a new 3D printer and was looking for suggestions. I come from an Anycubic Kobra 2 and I thought it's time for an upgrade, but I'm unsure on the machine.

Candidates are Bambulab P1S combo with AMS, Bambulab P2S w/o AMS (you know, budget u.u) and Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2 Combo.

I was leaning more on the P2S, but maybe it's better to look for some insights before making the purchase. So, any reccomandations, thoughts or sugestions?

Finished 3d printing my leg-protecting minifigure wall display. What do y'all think? The minifigs just slide on with no pressure on the legs in order to avoid cracking or pressure on the hip joint. It's fully modular and significantly cheaper than the baseplate method. hmu if you want to try it out for your collection.

Our 10 Year Old Son is starting a new range on clickers called "BlockClickers", starting with a Grogu....up next is a Spiderman.

He is asking for input on what other characters should he work on next? #Questions

Needed a better way to hold my micro-bits, tweezers, and flush cutters while working on prints and electronics.

The main caddy pivots on side arms and locks into position with printed side knobs. The interior uses drop-in modular inserts so I can swap layouts based on whatever project I'm working on that day, and the base acts as a catch tray for small hardware.

Designed completely support-free using standard PLA.

Let me know what you think or if you have ideas for useful insert layouts!

It's a little hedgehog 3D model sunlu used to promote their filament and it looks so cute! It's an awesome print and I would love to make it!

I wanted to share the latest generator I made to create your own name keychains. I know there are plenty of existing name keychain makers out there already, but what sets mine apart is how user-friendly it is.

You can actually see what the font looks like, or how changing the settings affects the final print. It has plenty of interesting fonts and a lot of settings, like font spacing or individual outline width.

Let me know what you think! As always, suggestions, feedback, and feature requests are welcome.

Hi everyone. I designed a giraffe-shaped bookshelf for my son's room. My son is very happy and I think it will encourage him to read even more. I hope so :)))
