I was surprised at how nice this big cute smiley frog turned out. The quality of my large prints improved instantly after I adjusted/equalised my belt tensions and tightened loose screws.

Also, I started using lightening infill(at 30%), fuzzy skin, and custom vertical supports in Cura. On the printer plate of my FLSUN SR, I now always use Cantech Tape & Elmer glue (adhesion is now perfect).

I will probably go back and reprint things that had failed repeatedly in the past when my printer and files were less well-adjusted by me.

What I appreciate about lightning infill is that large vertical prints are mostly hollow, which saves filament and time, and only the tops have lots of infill. I use double walls for lightening infill since single is too flimsy and wobbles too much.

I also find that for my big animal prints, the custom cylindrical supports are much more stable and easier to remove than tree supports.

I made myself a desk lamp. First try to print with furry skin, surprisingly it turned out well, I opened up the random seams to make it more perfect.

I printed this desktop-appropriate sized print of one of the giant Toltec head sculptures. They are not as well known as the Easter Island (Moai) heads, but some people might like them. Using a downloaded STL file from a photogrammetry scan of the actual sculpture, I printed it in PLA with my FLSUN SR. Then I fixed it up a bit with clay and painted it (2 coats) with white indoor/outdoor primer.

Hi, im buying my first 3d printer second hand tk save some money. Found an Ender 5 pro for under cheap. The beds do have me a bit concerned. Do the scratches indicate poor use of the printer? Would appreciate some advice. Thnx.

I'd love to know what anyone thinks about this print!

I'm making a series of #tcg frames that perfectly fit different card protectors, like the Ultra Pro Toploaders.

Eventually, I'll have frames that perfectly fit any of the most common card protectors -- then a separate series of frames for ALL of the different graded acrylic slabs.

Wall hanger first, hinged leg for standing next. Options for both later.

What's a card worthy of one of these displays?

I tried something new with Cura. I took a JPEG image of a coral fan, converted it to greyscale, then darkened it. Cura easily opened the image file, but it added an unwanted base for the white background.

Then I expanded the vertical axis, and lowered the unwanted base below the plate until only a few millimeters of the object was above the plate. I sliced it using the fuzzy feature and printed it with my FLSUN SR. I might try darkening the center of each branch in Photoshop to get a more rounded top layer.

This is one of several Easter Island Head models which I will print (with my FLSUN SR) at around 22cm tall, so it can be kept on a desk or in a garden.

I regret that I didn't untilt the head in Cura to be more straight, but the scan is from photogrammetry and that's what the statue actually looks like.

Hey everyone! 👋

I wanted to share something special I've been working on: a 3D-printed docking station for the Nintendo Switch 2, inspired by the iconic Super Mario design.

I created this dock out of my passion for Nintendo and the vibrant world of Super Mario. It's available for free on MakerWorld, and I hope it brings as much joy to you as it did to me while designing and printing it.

The model is straightforward to print and doesn't require AMS or any special materials. I've aimed to make it as user-friendly as possible so that anyone with a 3D printer can easily recreate it.

I'd love to hear your thoughts, see pictures of your prints, or hear any suggestions for improvements! 🎉

Hello friends. I printed the logo and the iconic Shelby Cobra figure on this 3D illusion piece.

Made in SolidWorks, the model was designed to be printed in different pieces and with different colors.
