A Scene Reminiscent of one of our favorite 80's movies. This one didn't turn out well, I'm going to print again a bit larger! This time the supports took an arm off! Well, that didn't work! I have failed in my quest once again. Am I doomed to keep repeating this nightmare of old?! Let's try that again! This time I tripled the size. I was very hopeful! Alas it didn't work out. Maybe it's a design flaw? Atrayu's arm is very small. I'll play with the settings and see if I can fi

Articulated Dragon Reminiscent of one of our favorite 80's movies. I really love how this one turned out! I also found a print of Atrayu and Artax stuck in the mud....you know that is going to be the next project!

The Pegasus Project-Part two Third Time's the Charm! I found the sweet spot by printing at 218 percent. I used auto supports instead of the tree supports. I never want to do that again! But at least it worked! You cant print this yourself by visiting: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1441066-pegasus?from=search#profileId-1499938

The Pegasus Project The first go round, I thought I'd print it as meant by the maker. All pieces on the print plate together. The print was cute, but pretty small. When I tried to remove the supports, I broke a leg and had to start over. Same thing happened the second time, so the 3rd time I printed it I scaled it to 218 percent and used auto supports instead of the tree supports. Back to the drawing board!

The Articulated Dragon I keep seeing these little Dragons everywhere! My nephews want one so I'm going to be printing this one in Black and also Green! This purple filament has a bit of a color shift to it. It's pretty pointed, so if you are printing this for little ones beware.

Articulated Christmas Figures Are these not the most adorable things to ever grace your eyeballs? So, I decided to kick things off with a project that wouldn’t make me lose my marbles. The new printer is a one-color-at-a-time kind of deal, so naturally, a Christmas Tree was the no-brainer choice. I stumbled upon these Little Debbie Tree Cakes on Makerworld, and thought I'd try to make them. Well, let me tell you, those tiny pieces were a big problem for my old eyes! I had to

The Adventure 5M This past month, Gavin surprised me with a new 3D printer! He put it together for us when it arrived. First project was to print an enclosure! We picked this bright yellow filament; I grabbed the instructions and got to work! Once we had all the parts printed and the enclosure kit arrived from Amazon, Mr. Wonderful assembled it all. I've emersed myself into the world of 3D printing as one does while falling in love with a new hobby.
