Yo Guys. Last month i released my free Blender Addon that allows you to created maps of your favorite Trips with just a few clicks. Many people dont have a multicolor printer so i added this Option to print the parts like shown in the video. The addon is available for free here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1264871-hiking-and-cycling-map-generator-trailprint3d#profileId-1304759

You can also join this discord where you can get help about the addon, share your maps or take a look at some maps created by others https://discord.gg/NbdyGGx2rH

I stumbled across a 3D-printed magnetic slider toy and was intrigued — but also a little frustrated. The design felt a bit missing, the tolerances were off, and it didn’t quite “click” for me. So I decided to design my own version from scratch.

Introducing: Super Swivel Fidgets

These magnetic fidgets use 6x2mm magnets to create a light-switch-like snap as the slider glides around the base. It’s incredibly satisfying — and surprisingly addictive.

After dozens of prototypes (and sacrificing way too many magnets), I dialed in the right tolerances, ergonomics, and sound/feel balance. If you're into functional prints and fun ones, this hits both.

Key Features

• Tuned for precise friction-fit with 6x2mm magnets
• Fit Check plate so you can dial in X-Y Hole Compensation before committing
• Thumb-friendly, beveled slider shape
• Textured sides for better grip
• Dual-color print support without filament waste

Pro tip Adjust X-Y Hole Compensation by ±0.025mm increments to get a perfect press-fit if needed.

This was a surprisingly fun from a modeling and print-optimization perspective — and now I keep one of these on my desk.

Files, build tips, and full walkthrough here.

Would love feedback from this crew!

It’s 99% complete as of yet.

I know it's not much, but I was excited to share. This little device keeps my toddler from opening the backyard gate.

I'm about 6 months into 3D printing and doing some basic modelling. Have learned a lot and still very novice. This was maybe 1.5 hours from having an idea to installing it and that was super satisfying. This is also my first print in ABS and I'm very happy with the results.

I'm trying to understand how to shoot a timelapse like Scott Yu-Jan where the nozzle head is at the same spot in every frame, so you get that the 3D print appears smoothly.

Any tips?

This hollow fidget cube is full-size but uses just 22g of PLA, and is still super satisfying to play with!

Will make a complete video on how to achieve high clarity in 3D printing.

I named him Samuel, my boss agreed "He has a face, he needs a name."

As a dad of two kids, two dogs, and with my lady at home, finding time for large 3D printing projects can be tough! But I’m excited to share a small personal win: I took a drawing my lady created and turned it into a 3D model.

It’s a small project, but a success is still a success, and it means a lot to me especially when the kids love it.

If anyone is interested in the model files, feel free to ask! I’ll gladly share them privately in accordance with the sub’s self-promotion rules.

Made a custom case for my boyfriend’s Pi NAS. It’s a first project on our printer, so it’s a bit rough around the edges, but it turned out okay. :)

Hopefully I've exported the .stl in the correct scale this time. I added many chamfers and rounded off the back of the smaller foot, so my palm won't be pierced. The bigger foot is also way smoother. And I can still simply clip the battery onto the foot and remove with a flat screwdriver.

I had a problem getting the crushed ribs sized correctly, so I've added a long chamfer. You really need to jam those in the first time you use it. I like the chamfer, because you shouldn't have to toy around to find the perfect fit. After you've jammed those bits in a few times, you should be able to use it comfortably. If those ribs wear out over time, you can add a dab of super glue and jam the bit in again. So it should also work long therm. Personally, I won't use it as a bit holder, but who knows? It might came in handy from time to time.

I also like to add rubber feet under mine. There is plenty of surface to stick those on.

I hope you like the small changes in that design!

Regards, Etna.

P.S.: Oh, I almost forget the most important part:

Made this as part of my continued Greco-Roman series, I will have to make a toga now to go with it. Sorry had to reupload as something went wrong

I 3D printed Johnny 5!! 🥰🥰 I have been borrowing my friends A1 while he’s on vacation to use for color prints until Prusa releases their mmu3 upgrade for the core one. ☝️ This was fun to make. Here is the file that I found on MakerWorld - https://makerworld.com/en/models/462008-johnny-5-v2?from=search#profileId-370735
