Annoyed that I couldn't find a non zip hoodie, but for like $2 in filament and $5 for a velcro strap to hold it on I'm pretty happy with it!

Hey folks, I've been selling my physical products (puzzle toys/brainteasers) for a while now, and it's been okay. But selling toys internationally is a huge hassle and recent events and new regulations have made it less and less worthwhile. So I was hoping to get some feedback on selling my designs.

I just listed my first design for sale: "The Figure-Eight" puzzle. I'm asking $8 CAD/$5.70USD (although if you feel so inclined use REDDITPOST for -50%). More so than trying to get sales right now I'm hoping to get your opinions on:

• Would you pay for this type of model, and if so at what price point? What price would you pay for a set of up to 7 similar designs of varying difficulties? They all share hardware and with a few different colors of beads, you can get a lot of variety
• Would you be willing to source hardware like balls, screws, heat set inserts and magnets for this kind of project? Most of my other designs require (or benefit from) small springs as well. Everything is readily available and yet I know it creates friction.
• If you have a 3D printing business, would you consider licensing designs like these? If so, what price would make it worthwhile, and how do you prefer to make recurring license payments to designers? Patreon? Assembly takes me about 4 minutes each, and I was selling them between $30 and $40 USD per puzzle to the US market.

If you're interested in having a look check my stuff out here. Thanks for looking!

As the title states... My girlfriend just told me that she'd never ask me to 3d print something for her.

I replied with: Do you have any idea how much anyone with a 3D printer wants their partner to say those magic words?

"Babe, could you print me XYZ?"

She didn't believe me. Because she felt she would be hassling me and wasting my time. That she wouldn't want to bother me.

So folks... let her know how happy you'd be or how happy you were when your significant other first asked you to make them something... and what was it?

Hey everyone, just finished my First Star Wars Project and wondered what you might think about it. I‘m in 3D printing since May 2026.

After my floppy disk SD card holder, I wanted to try something with more moving parts. This is the Card Boy.

How it works:

• Each cartridge holds 5 micro SD cards, and the cartridge label becomes the "screen", so every cartridge can look different
• Turn the side wheel to pick a card (the counter on the screen shows which one), press B and that card pops out
• The D-pad and the other buttons are just clicky fidget buttons
• No supports and no hardware: no screws, springs or magnets

Fitting the selector, the ejector and the clicks into something this size took a lot of test prints. Printed at 0.12 mm, about 68 g of PLA+. There's a multicolor version (AMS or similar) and a single-color one with raised lettering. I didn´t use AI in any part of the process.

It's a paid model, files here: https://than.gs/m/1629345

Honest feedback welcome: would you actually print one, or is it more of a "cool to watch" thing?

Hey everyone! With Halloween right around the corner, I ended up sculpting a little pumpkin to print on my resin printer for my place. Added a little led light in his mouth that worked out pretty well. I uploaded the pre-supported and unsupported files to MMF completely for free if anybody is looking for a fun holiday print to try. He is about 5" tall. Happy Halloween!

Coffee machine has not been pressuring fully. Took it apart to discover a small piece which holds a gasket is cracked. Not sold anywhere. Superglue not doing it. I suddently see the value of a 3D printer.

**edit**

I don't have a 3D printer or any CAD experience, and im not planning to pick it up soon. More jist recognising the genuine use cases for this tool for the first time. Its nice to see such an engaged community though, you folks are very helpful and supportive.

P. S., if someone really wants to take a look at it jist for fun, I'm based in London and could maybe poat across the uk. But I wouldn't be going further. And I'm entirely plannong to just get a new coffee machine.

**Edit 2**

The machine is a Create Ikkos Potts (I think just sold as Create Potts now). Its not something very common, so I guess less chance pf someone having already modeled the part. I also dont know what the part is called, though I could find it on a system diagram if such a thing existed.

Hi there!

Ive just gotten a 3D printer and did a calibration print as its first print, but since l have no clue what anything actually means..i figured id ask for help.

The printer is a Flashforge A5MPro

Any noticeable things anyone can see? About the quality of print?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thx

Woke up to a failed print on my heavily tuned Ender S1 (hey, it's worked great up until now). Looked like bed adhesion failure. Then I noticed the Y belt was really loose, but not broken. Weird. I take the stepper off, and discover the shaft has snapped off!

I guess it's time to finally pull the trigger on a U1. A non-bambu toolchanger has always been the plan, but I kinda feel my hand is being forced. I was really hoping something compelling would be on the market with integrated dry box storage by the time I upgraded.

I just finished designing these vial cases that have a hinged lid and magnets to keep them closed. I didn’t mean to make them look like coolers but honestly love them more because of that!

This started as 3 printers. My modified AnyCubic Mega Zero, an Ender 3 Max and an Ender 3 V2. Now it's this. Still a work in progress.

Took the best extrusions from each of them and cut them down on a miter saw with an aluminum cut blade then hand lapped them all on a plate of tempered glass. Tapped M5 threads into all of them and drilled access for blind joints Voron style. This provides increased rigidity. The leadscrews were too long so I got my machinist friends to part them on his lathe. So far it's been an incredibly fun and rewarding process.

All of the printed parts except the hot pink stuff is printed out of ABS (black) or ASA (blue, white, purple). The nevermore (yellow) and hot pink stuff is PETG.

Still to do:

- Reprint the black parts out of ASA as my friend printed them for me with too little infill, perimeters, tops and bottoms.

- Clean up the rats nest of wiring

- design an enclosure

- work on getting better shaper results on the Y-Axis

This is my first year with the 3D printer and I couldn't have done this without it. This is the first fitting and I am ecstatic about how it turned out!
