I made a tool to 3D print Moon puzzles and ornaments from real NASA data

I wanted to share this as an Entrepreneur for entrepeneurs because i think it could make great models to sell.

You can spin the Moon globe or use the 2D view, pick any region, and it pulls the real NASA elevation data for that exact spot. From that it generates a printable model — circle, square or hexagon, either as a solid ornament or as a snap-fit jigsaw puzzle up to 256 pieces. You can adjust the terrain height scale, size, piece count, shape, frame and text.

I had fun building this and i am very exited to show the world now! It will be live to everyone soon. Currently it is in pre launch on makerworld crowdfunding: https://makerworld.com/en/crowdfunding/333-orbitstudio-3d-print-the-moon

If it funds i will also make it available for people that do not have a makerworld account. But backing it will be the cheapest.

Would love to hear your opinions and suggestions. Do you think the generated models would sell?

Need help with bearing material

I had a requirement of printing a ball bearing but I'm not sure which material to use...I only needed to print the inner and outer races and put steel balls inside the bearing. What material is best for making sure under high speed the outer race doesn't flex outwards.

Any suggestion of material is appreciated...except peek (because I dont have an capable printer to print it) other than that anything is possible.

Ultra-slim & lightweight SD Card Holder (Fits 2 cards, print-in-place)

Hey everyone!

I designed a super thin and minimalist SD card holder that securely carries up to 2 full-sized SD cards.

Key Features:

 2 Versions Included: One clean/minimal version, and one with a keychain loop.

 Ultra-Slim & Lightweight: Pocket-friendly and adds virtually no bulk.

 Easy Print: Prints cleanly as-is with zero supports required.

Prints great in PLA or PETG with standard settings (0.2mm layer height works perfectly).

Let me know what you think or feel free to test it.

I redesigned my 3D printed modular 15mm camera rig system — Meet V2!

🖨️

Hey everyone!

I just released V2 of my 3D printable 15mm rod rig system!

Based on feedback and testing, I strengthened the stress points and reinforced the screw mounts to make everything way more durable. The best part? It still uses the exact same screw size throughout the entire build, so upgrading from V1 or customizing your setup is super easy.

Quick Specs:

 Almost 100% 3D printable (just add a metal 1/4" camera screw & anti-slip pads)

 Modular design: Matte box, single/dual side handles, lens supports, tripod adapters, and modular rods

 One screw size for all clamps

It’s super flexible—build whatever setup you need for your shoot! You can grab the files on MakerWorld: https://makerworld.com/models/3146804?appSharePlatform=copy

Let me know what you think or if you have ideas for more attachments!
