Lettering With Dip Pens and Watercolor
I just discovered how lovely watercolors work with dip pens. Here's a practice sheet where I'm trying to work out the formula of the consistency for some metallic shimmering cakes. I used a couple different glass pens and what's becoming my favorite nib, the Brause Steno or "The Blue Pumpkin".

Multifunctional Alphabet Letters – After 3 failed prints, I finally got a complete A–Z set working in DIY STYLE
I recently worked on a small alphabet project and ran into a few unexpected printing issues.
Because some letters are very small and have different proportions, not all of them printed successfully on the first attempt. A few letters detached from the print bed, while others had incomplete or imperfect holes.
After 4–5 test prints, I found a solution that worked consistently:
• Added supports to a few problematic letters
• Slightly modified the base geometry
• Split the merged design into individual letters for better print reliability
• Adjusted orientation for the smallest characters
* Printed on an FDM printer using PLA at 0.2 mm layer height.
The final result printed successfully with clean holes and much better consistency.
I'm curious—how do you handle tiny alphabet or keychain-style prints that tend to fail due to their size and shape?
(If anyone is interested in the final design version, I can share details in the comments.)
