3D Pen and assorted filament

Just bought these just to get swanky if not schwifty with detailing already made 3D prints, just painting isn’t enough. Looks like a kid’s toy, very useful for repairing bodged supports or adding LED-lights. My these things go *hard* on Amazon, going to discover what a “humanized button” is.

Foctopus finished

Foctopus

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce: the Foctopus, a highly enlightened if not lit being from another dimension. Never mind its attitude. Also installed lightbar and filament end sensor in 3D printer, still hate pulling cables but everything works.

Filament runout sensor mount

Going to print an angled filament runout sensor mount. Ordered a filament runout sensor because 3D printing can be stressful enough without autolevelling malfunctioning. Exact moment filament spool runs out can be easily missed after hours of printing.

extruder filament guide

Filament guides

Printed some filament guides because filament kept flinging the copper extruder bit out at the end of the spool, fairly roughly printed but works well. Bought a Creality Filament Runout Sensor because 3D printing should be fun and not some stressy control job. Noticed higher nozzle temperatures with fan at […]

Really getting into this

3D printing glue arrived, did a printing angle test. Turns out it prints a whole lot more precise with fan turned to maximum speed – which i did not do earlier because that would detach the print from the printing bed. Good thing it’s waterbased too, that’ll save some cleaning […]

New 3D prints

New Shrunken Head 3D print and Runic Drakar. Earrings broke off with removal of supports, need to get better with those. Cybordragon went well, bit of a harrowing time removing supports but very rewarding detail.
