Um. Reptile accessories? Do tell.A family member and his wife quit their jobs (he is an engineer and she has an Ivy League law degree) because their 3D printing business making reptile accessories is going bonkers.
Whatsitcalled?
Yes, it should be finished by now, but I have the printer at work so I won't know if it was successful until morning.Do you mean your printing the parts to build a recorder (the musical instrument)?
I really like that idea.
I printed some holiday ornaments this week, too, but be warned they are a bit vulgar. Click at your own risk

I second that request.Um. Reptile accessories? Do tell.
This F-topus is F-antastic!The obnoxiously rude cousin of Mr Octopus graced us overnight. Be warned, this f*ctopus is very vulgar!
I didn't really clean that up, for the photo. Usually that isnt necessary, but the ummm fingers, are small. I have a snipper to trim anything, and a nail file. When things are painted, it usually fills in any texture.This F-topus is F-antastic!
I really am so so close to ordering a 3D printer myself.
Technical question...I notice some burrs and rough edges.
I assume this is usual, fresh off the bed.
What do you use to smooth them out?
Sandpaper? Small file? Another method?
During my research, I did look at resin printers as well.I didn't really clean that up, for the photo. Usually that isnt necessary, but the ummm fingers, are small. I have a snipper to trim anything, and a nail file. When things are painted, it usually fills in any texture.
We have a RESIN 3d printer, also, which prints in far greater detail. Andy uses that one, I use the cheaper filament printer. I can show some pictures of things he has printed, if you want to see the difference. The resin printer uses uv light to print things upside down, in a pool of liquid resin, one layer at a time.
No problemHow about some new Monopoly tokens?
If you do those supports, please do share your experience.This might be my next item to print. A back support for a framers vise. Made from carbon fiber reinforces nylon.
I printed some of those and was wandering the same thing!
