New 3D print. This one is just print and go, no fiddling around with silicone and resin. I think these tiles work better for decorative purposes than pure Penrose tiles. I have a new modular system coming up for molds and casts but that can wait. #3d-printing #penrose #printables

Hey #3dprinting community, my RAMPS 1.4 board just melted its bed connector after 10 years of service. What would you recommend to replace it with? Context: the printer is a homebuilt coreXY without any special features. I'm an engineer (both soft & hard) so beginner-friendliness is not a hurdle.

If you have a Bambu Lab A1 or A1 mini 3D printer you may like to know that if you add the following to your gcode: M400 U1 This will allow you to do manual colour changes within a print. This is my first attempt at trying it.

The secret to successful 3D printing: Match the technology to the application. • FDM for quick prototypes • SLA for perfect details • SLS for functional parts • LPBF for metal production Don't force a technology. Let the end use guide your choice. #3dprinting #making #maker

Most think 3D printing is just plastic strings from a hot nozzle. Reality: It's 7 distinct technologies using: • Light curing resin • Lasers melting metal • Inkjets binding powder Each serves different needs, industries, and goals. Know your options. Choose wisely. #maker Photos from Reddit
