I’m wondering if there would be a way to misuse stringing to make air filters. Might have to print a few layers of them, but the unique shapes and sizes (and low cost/on demand) would be amazing!

Found a 1/4 spool a grade-A garbage silk PLA that I thought I threw away. Horrible stuff, doesn’t like to stick to the build plate or itself. Oozes like an open wound. Printing up a tray so I can enjoy breaking it apart (with minimal effort) before throwing it away.

I check in on twitter maybe once a month, but nope out of there pretty quickly.

I have an A1 and an A1 mini and they are amazing machines, stupid fast and accurate, and pre-tariffs the prices couldn’t be beat by any other mfg for the price/value.

I’ll keep an eye out this year to see if there are any good deals on the kit but at the usual price it’s a no-sale for me.

Successfully printed one of the sides in some old @printedsolid.bsky.social "mixtape" filament on a holographic plate. The corners lifted up slightly so I tried printing the other side on a textured plate for better adhesion which failed spectacularly. Oh well. Used white PLA for the other side.

Oh! That’s a good point to keep it around! But I think i’m gonna move it off the main table and put it in the closet until I need it.

For me, it’s not worth doing the Mk 3 -> Mk 3.5 upgrade, and I’d rather have a core-XY anyway.

Didn’t have any flowers or candy to show the bowl in use, so I took a photo of a few friends 😄

Printed in @bambulabglobal.bsky.social PETG Transparent Pink. Turned out a lot better than I thought it would. Didn’t factor in cooling fans would be super low/off for PETG and it still worked.
