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! 🤍🩷

Hahaha! I need to often quickly label which desks are the ones where I don't want students to sit for various activities. With 12 extra desks between my smallest and largest class, I wanted a quick way to indicate this. No student has challenged the meaning of it... yet!

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.

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

🎉 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

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

🎉 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

After printing these steering wheels for all 4 of us to play together, they were a little tough to manage on the shelf. We needed a stand! Stand models now included with the original steering wheel design. Check out the post below to see it in action. #3DPrinting @cults3d.bsky.social

New post! 🎉 My son is working on his "Valentine Box" for school this week. We designed these "Arcade Game Parts" for it. After printing, I realized the joystick could be slightly modified for filament swap printing, so I did that too! See comments. STLs: cults3d.com/:4014678 @cults3d.bsky.social

I designed these for an elementary school class project where students' individual models won't physically link together, but they should be connected in groups. They can use these trays for displaying their work to show the relationships. New model at Cults3D. Link in my bio. @cults3d.bsky.social

P.S. I fully admit there could be a simpler solution than what I created, but I built my proof on what my 9th grade honors math students know at this point in our class.

Abby Brown @abbymath.bsky.social · 07/02/2026

I don't know whether I had more fun nerding out while creating this challenge problem for my students or while writing up a 41-step proof of its solution! 😆 #MathIsFun

New York Wants to Ctrl+Alt+Delete Your 3D Printer New York’s budget bill proposes mandatory file-scanning “blocking” software for 3D printers and CNC tools. #3dprinting #opensource

the statue of liberty on liberty island, holding a torch and tablet engraved with july iv mdcc lxxvi, framed by blue sky and harbor water, overlaid with a faint “3d” graphic — a symbol of freedom now ironically paired with policy efforts that want to put file scanners and kill switches on general-purpose tools.

The other printed parts turned out SO cute, that I guess I am going to have to post them on Cults3D after all! I wasn't planning to do so when I started on this project with my son. The joystick and buttons don't move, but they printed very well! @cults3d.bsky.social

Abby Brown @abbymath.bsky.social · 01/02/2026

Unfortunately, the print cracked on one side. It printed this way. My theory is that my @sliceworx.com build plate stuck to the bottom so well that when the print warped, it broke away from itself. I used older, non-high temp filament. Should still work for this project though!
