My most ambitious game box yet! Magnetic Catan with a storage box

About 1000 small magnets implemented in a fully funcional magnetic board for 5-6 players. Every number token and robber clicks in place with magnets. Even the harbor pieces and card tray are held in place by magnets in the lid so they dont fall
Out.

Love the end result!

We built LocalMesh, one photo in, a Gaussian splat + textured mesh out, 100% on your own GPU. Beta is open, 7 days free.

Hi everyone,

We've been building LocalMesh for the past few weeks, and the beta just opened.

Short version: one photo goes in, and you get a 3D Gaussian splat (~60s on a 5090, ~2min on a 4060 laptop), then a textured mesh** (UV-unwrapped, photo reprojected, AO, normal map) exported as GLB/PLY/OBJ.

Everything runs locally. No upload, no queue, no credits. Turn off your Wi-Fi, it still works.

The mesh part is the bit we're proud of. Poisson reconstruction on gaussian centers drapes a tarp over your object: a Poisson solver has to close every surface, and can never say "I can see through here".

So instead: 60 virtual cameras on a golden-angle sphere, gsplat renders depth for each, every ray carves out the empty space it travels through, and the 60 depth maps fuse into a 768³ TSDF volume. Carving instead of guessing. (gs2mesh principle, written from scratch.)

Other things you might enjoy:

- It runs on 8 GB cards. The entire conversion (splat rendering, TSDF fusion, decimation, atlas bake) stays under 7.3 GB of VRAM, so a 4060 laptop finishes the exact same job as a 5090, just slower.

- No CUDA toolkit, no Visual Studio, no Python, no admin rights on the client. We ship a fat gsplat wheel with precompiled kernels, RTX 20 to 50.

Limits, upfront: one photo means the back of the object is invented, not measured. Windows + NVIDIA 8 GB only. No Authenticode cert yet, so SmartScreen will grumble on first launch.

7 days free, no card to start, then $39 once, no subscription, because there's no cloud to pay for: https://local-mesh.com

Break it and tell us, that's what the beta is for.

Happy to answer anything about the pipeline in the comments.

K1C failed on day one, got a replacement — keep it or switch to an A1?

New K1C. Fourth print had heavy stringing, Fifth stopped extruding partway through. Clicking, then nothing.

Tried: 240°C retract/extrude, removed the extruder and cleared stuck filament, cleaning needle passed freely through the nozzle. After reassembly it ticked but wouldn't feed. Tested the extruder off the printer — turned the gears by hand with a short piece of filament and it gripped and fed fine. Mounted back on the printer, ticking again. Never fed properly after that.

Room has no AC and I ran it fully enclosed.

Amazon sent a replacement, still boxed. Trying to decide whether to open it or refund and get an A1.

  • If you've owned both, which held up better day to day?

What is one materials innovation you think deserves more attention?

Not necessarily the biggest breakthrough.Somthing underrated?

It could be a relatively small development that has made a huge difference to performance, manufacturing, sustainability or cost.

What's something you've come across recently that made you think:

"That's actually pretty clever."

Would be great to hear some examples from people working across different parts of the materials industry.

The best print-in-place bracelet on the internet?

Hi 3D printeurs!

I am on a mission to design the best 3D printable bracelets on the internet. Here is my first submission. I would love your opinions! My design criteria were:

  1. Print-in-place.

  2. No supports required.

  3. Easy to attach/detach.

  4. Reasonably strong.

  5. Yank-to-detach in case of emergency.

  6. Looks good.

  7. Not bulky.

If you find this model pleasing please let me know. Also, if you disagree with my design criteria I would love to hear your thoughts.

I designed this model using a 0.2mm nozzle and I doubt that a 0.4mm nozzle will print well. My model was printed in PLA. The 19-link model fits my 6.75" wrist comfortably, I can't yet suggest which size will fit other wrist sizes. This print took 2 hours and used <10 grams of filament!

Easy DIY filament dryer

Not a 3D print as such but a bit of a hack to revive old and brittle filament with an easy DIY filament dryer.

Let me know how you go with this hack 8-)

CLIPGEAR - Infinite Modular Snap-Together Gear System

A few days ago I noticed that there's an ongoing contest on Printables for Geared Spinners, so I got inspired and created CLIPGEAR!

CLIPGEAR is an infinitely^(1) expandable, modular gear system. Snap the bases together, clip the gears on, and build your own complex contraptions - or simply use it as a fidget!

Check it out on Printables here.

Suggestions and requests are very welcome!

^(1. Physics will likely challenge the "infinitely" argument.)

Cutting up a 3d model

I got a 3D model of a Racetrack with surroundings from makerworld, but because i dont have a multimaterial printer i wanted to seperate the racetrack from the surroundings and print it seperatly. How should i do that?
