Glow in the dark

Evening all!

I'm currently on the look out for some experimenting! I am wanting to look into creating glow in the dark resin prints, But I am unsure of what resin is best. I am open to opinions and others experience with Glow in the dark photopolymer resin!

Looking for someone to print a Prusa MK3S+ Extruder Body (PETG) - QLD

G'day everyone,

Hoping someone in the community might be able to help me out.

I've managed to break the Extruder Body on my Prusa MK3S+. Unfortunately, it broke around where the PINDA probe mounts, so I can't reliably use the printer to print a replacement part myself.

I'm looking for someone who could print a replacement Extruder Body in PETG and post it to me in Queensland. I'm happy to pay for the print, materials, postage, and a bit extra for your time.

I can send through the STL/official Prusa part files if needed.

If anyone is able to help, please comment below or send me a DM.

I'd love to get the old MK3S+ back up and running as soon as possible, rather than waiting for postage from the Czech Republic.

Sleeping bat wall lamp by My Light

Printed this tea light LED candle lamp.
Great design and looks really cool at night. I made a custom stand for it so now we can use it as a night light.

Putty for filling in cracks?

I see recommendations to use putties, usually car fillers are talked about, but I haven't ever seen a brand or particular type talked about, just very general overviews.

What would be good? Preferably something I can buy in melbourne, but internet links would also be great!

This is to fill in areas where I have glued together parts, and also areas where I can see layer lines. Mostly the glue lines, though.

Cheers

Functional Ooshies Carriers

The kids carry the Ooshies all around the place. I have seen beautiful display stands by many 3D makers but they are not really practical, as in, not made to be carried and moved around.

This inspired me to create the carry and stack Ooshies holder system.

Each tray holds 10 Ooshies and features a carry handle. The trays stack on-top of each other to form an Ooshies tower display stands.

Play,, sort, carry, stack and display 👌🏻

ABSlike in australia

Hey all

I print basically only 40k miniatures. I started out with one of the elegoo abslikes and found it absolutely garbage, shatters like glass for me.

I moved to Sunlu and found it to be absolutely night and day better. Dropped a mini several times and nothing broke, started tossing it, nothing broke, eventually broke one arm off after I threw it and bounced it off the roof onto tiles. Needless to say, I wont go back.

Sadly, I cannot for the life of me find Sunlu OR Jayo ANYWHERE.

Ideally, does someone have a link to someone still stocking it able to ship to Australia? or, worst case scenario, a suitable alternative.

cheers

Having so much trouble working with this new filament.

I have this new siddament silk pink PLA im trying to work with, I usualy use PETG but im printing a gift and wanted a silk pink.

Its constantly clogging after doing all the usual tests.

Cold pull, new nozzle, retested Z distance but all i could get is this gross temp tower.

Anything else I should be testing or working on?

Any experience with siddament silk PLA?

Hey there, I just bought a roll of pink silk PLA from siddament and im having issues getting it to print more than a few layers.

Full disclosure I havent dobe a temp tower for it yet which will help, but while its on my mine and i cant access the printer I thought I would ask.

Its a large printer 300mm by 300mm on my ender 5 plus so each layer takes a few minites but after even just 4 or 5 layers it clogs. Ive printed a test way above the beginning to make sure it wasn't too close causing the clog, when i do a cold pull or pull the clog out, the filament end doesnt look any different, no specs in the end and no twist you see when it tried to keep forcing filament into it.

Im using prusa slicers default PLA temp of 210 so ill do a tower and see how it prints lower around 190-200, but I was just curious if anyone has had.expericne with siddament silk PLA as well?
