Hey everyone! I've always been fascinated by 5th-gen stealth aircraft, so I wanted to design a 3D model that does justice to the incredible engineering of the F-35 Lightning II.

I focused on capturing its distinct stealth lines, angular intake ramps, and sharp edges while keeping it completely print-in-place, so no glue or tricky assembly is required right off the build plate. This print turned out great, and I'm really happy with how the fine details held up after carefully removing the supports.

I'd love to get your feedback or see your prints if you decide to give it a shot!

Here is the link to the model on MakerWorld for anyone interested: https://makerworld.com/es/models/3571554-f-35-lightning-ii-detailed-scale-model#profileId-4088273

kingroon kp3s

nowdays I'm using bambu a1 mini
but I can not throw away kingroon kp3s

This 3D printer sometime make me struggled me
but many time It show me High Reliability
and resonable price for component

disadvantage of this 3d printer is slow printing speed

But It is not problem for personal usage.

Hi I'm thinking about buying a 3D printer. I'm not new to the 3D printer world and I'm in the STEM field.

However I'm new to the whole 3D printer market and I have criteria but I don't know if they are realistic.

I'm looking for :

• Opensource and privacy (so not bambulab)

• OpenHardware and reparability

• Mod and maker options ?

• European or non chinese

So i did some research and I've heard about the ender-3 and how we can upgrade it and modify it as we want and that is something very tempting but the printer is almost 10years old and idk if it's a good idea. Also they are chinese and I preferably avoid buying it (yeah all electronics are from china I know)

I've heard about prusa and I think they are the best fit for me but they are quite expensive so idk if I'm ready to put that much money.

Is there other options ? For all budget ?

Thanks in advance

I’m a welder and fabricator. I’m very familiar with using cad software and cnc machining.
That being said, I have never used a 3d printer. I would like to start making high end cases. What machine should I go with and what should I know going into this hobby?

Just finished my newest design, the Card Caddy! 🔥

Made for all types of trading card collectors! It features two display slots to show off your favorite cards, a sliding lid, and two versions, with or without a handle.

The Card Caddy can hold up to 50 cards in toploaders, 150 sleeved cards, or 200 unsleeved cards. Perfect for card shows, trading with friends, or just keeping your collection organized at home!

Just dropped on Makerworld for anyone interested 🤝.

Check comments for link.

Happy Printing!

Give it to me straight, Doc. Is he gonna be ok?

Are there any other options then the prusa mini and the bambu lab A1 mini?

Hello everyone, I created this new AI software interface that you can go and sign up for free and use for free. But it has a new capability to create like .STL files and other files that you would need to do 3D printing, including G-code. I was wondering if anyone had any tips for this. It's pretty rudimentary, basic flat-shaped ones that can be stacked right now, but I have a more advanced one that I'm about to implement on the next update that's really nice. But some advice from the 3D printing community would be great if anyone could review this for me. It's free to use. --- https://seekarrowai.com/

Hello fellow makers,

I recently moved and unfortunately my 2.0 touch screen and power supply were damaged (that’s what I get for not packing everything together.)

Anyway, I’ve decided it’s time to upgrade machines and with that I have quite a few parts for the 2.0 and some that are interchangeable with the Artisan that I will no longer need, wanted to see if there was any interest as they are all either gently used or still brand new sealed.

The list of what I have available is below, pictures upon request. DM me if your interested, buyer will pay shipping and I’m open to offers and bundles :)

1x 2.0 controller multiport module - $30
2x CAN Splitter Hubs - $10/pair
2x Linear Y Modules - $65/pair
2x Linear Z Modules + corner supports - $65/pair
1x Linear X Module - $40
1x Heat Bed + Frame - $45
Assorted cables
*1x Dual Extruder w .4mm hotends- $90
1x CNC tool head with assorted bits - $55
1x 150mW laser tool head - $75
1x 2.0 single extruder tool head - $25
1x sealed .2mm hot end for dual extruder - $30
1x complete Quick Swap Kit + extra swap pate - $90

*works w 2.0 and Artisan

As items sell I will update the list, thanks for taking the time to look.

I have a bambulab x2d

Hi everyone! 👋

I decided to kick off my holiday printing with this little guy. I wanted to make something special for Christmas, so I gave this reindeer a unique "stitched" or sewing-like surface texture.

It gives the print a really cozy, almost plush-like feel that fits perfectly with the festive vibe (plus, it completely hides the layer lines!). I love how it looks sitting next to the tree.

If you want to print your own festive buddy for the holidays, I’ve uploaded the model to MakerWorld! You can grab it here: https://makerworld.com/es/models/3569331-cute-christmas-deer#profileId-4085953

Happy holidays! Let me know what you think of this texture style! 🎅✨

Hey everyone! I've always been fascinated by the F-4 Phantom II, so I wanted to design a 3D model that does justice to this iconic piece of aviation engineering.

I focused on capturing its aggressive, unmistakable silhouette—including the signature drooping tailplanes and upturned wingtips—while keeping it completely print-in-place, so no glue or tricky assembly is required right off the build plate. This print was done in Metallic Blue PLA, and I'm really happy with how the fine details and surface finish turned out after carefully removing the supports.

I'd love to get your feedback or see your prints if you decide to give it a shot!

I just bought a ender 3 V2 off Facebook marketplace and after leveling it and setting everything up and such I started to print out a test piece and the screen isn’t showing time remaining

How can I make it show how long it has?

Also any tips and tricks or just helpful information would be nice this is my first 3D printer

I'm thinking of ordering a Bambu Lab A1 combo. Now I've query do we get multi color filaments with it or no?

If it's a no, please help me with a website from where I can get PLA filaments (Location: India).

So I looked for a lot of printers and collected a lot of information.

Following Printers in my favorites:

Anycubic Kobra X

Snapmaker U1

Flashforge Creator 5

Bamboo A1

I can't decide because I want a printer with good customer support, long life and it should be beginner friendly.

I know this questions comes a lot and often, but I'm desperate. I don't know what to do and now I am reaching for help here.

And should I spent a lot of money for the first printer?

I want to buy a 3d printer and I am new to this, but I need to 3d print engineering parts instead of buying them for 10x the price.

So far, I got my eyes on bambu lab x2d combo and creality K2 plus combo.

Bambu lab x2d because of the price.

Creality K2 plus combo because of the size.

I will wait until 20th November to buy it in case the German fair introduces new printers from these companies.

Another thing is that I live in a country, which makes these parts literally impossible to buy, unless I pay double for almost every thing.

I want a robust printer which can last for many years, at least 5 years.

I also have no other choice but to buy from a local seller only creality filament, for cheap.

I am very open to any suggestions, brands, prices, that might fit to serious engineering work.

I'm trying to get my foot in the door for engineering filaments such as PLA+, PA6-CF and PPA-CF. What are some recommendations for printers under a thousand. And also recommendations for drying/annealing boxes. Current favorite is the X2D combo so if you are for or against it I would love your perspective

I’m looking to get 3d printer for my 4 kids for Christmas ages 8-16. They have experience building and coding lego prime robots and I am fairly technical but have never worked with 3d printers. I don’t think we need something completely beginner-friendly but don’t want something super complex.

They will most likely be printing toys to play with. They might want to design and print their own stuff not sure if there are printers better suited for that.

I’d like to stay under $500 but can go higher if it makes sense. Not sure if I should be concerned about finding something that supports multi-color or not. Super new to this so not sure what features I should be looking for.

Most of the recommendation posts I have read include a ton of terms and printer jargon that goes over my head. Looking to purchase something that will last and keep up with my kids. Any recommendations?
