If we met at 3D Printopia last year, you may have one of these mini #MakerChip pins in @Polymaker_3D Starlight Neptune I'm making some in @Overture3D Magenta to share at @MidwestRRfest -- come find me at #MRRF2025 to get a pin and one of my #MakerChips! youtube.com/shorts/EDOPnUZ…
✨ I was going through my MAKERCHIP ERA prepping for @3DPrintopia! I made MakerChips (Karen's version) -- a friendship bracelet inspired design. I also made kawaii MakerChip pins and boxes. A box fits ~50 MakerChips! Which do you like the most?
Did anyone #HotMakes this #MakerChip from #JRRF2025 yet?

Hey, guess what. The @CocoaPress can print a taller Chocolate DNA Strand with a full 360 twist. This machine is so much fun!

The show House but for diagnosing 3D printing issues: Forman: “It’s gotta be wet filament” Cameron: “Filament is new. Could be a clog” Chase: “I say replace the extruder” House: (rips Sd card out) It’s not a printer problem, it’s the slicer”
Don’t post much on here anymore but thought this experiment deserved it 🤓 Used a technique called infill shading (layer swaps on open infill) to create a colour shift when you look at a print from different angles. Diff infill patterns + density gives diff results. Very cool
Facebook reminded me that 10 years ago, I did my first two color print with filament swaps! So much easier nowadays! :) #3DPrinting

The GEN2 System subreddit is now available to use! reddit.com/r/GEN2system/ I had a ton of outstanding feedback at MRRF 2025 and it became clear a subreddit for the project would be helpful in creating a community around the project. I encourage you to check it out and please…
Having no experience did not stop me from making a VTOL with world-class range and flight time, all in 90 days. This is the thing I'm most proud of building to date!
I am happiest outside and even more so under a tree canopy. As a result, these designs always resonate with me. I love them!

After shamelessly studying and scrutinizing @davemakesstuff_ models, I can now eat Chocolate DNA from the @CocoaPress ! Assuming I can fend off my family, of course-- that is proving to be the hardest part of printing chocolate. 🤣
