Ordered a Creality K2 Plus. Not that I really NEED a new FDM 3D printer. I own far too many right now. But there are reasons. I already own and use a Creality K1C. Little brother to the K2 Plus. I am very pleased with the K1C and the Creality product. They make good hardware.…

I designed this Poinsettia as a give-away Christmas trinket. My spouse Gloria, likes to share my “stuff” with her quilting club pals. She told me, “Make something red and green for Christmas .” “Like a poinsettia.” So I drew up a poinsettia in Fusion 360. Following a picture of a poinsettia I found on-line. It’s…

Added a new printer to my collection. The Creality K1C. The “C” stands for Carbon. It’s a part of the K1 series. Here is the link to the website for the full product information. K1C Link I don’t have a desire to repeat here what is readily available form the manufacturer. <grin> The K1C is…

I have been designing and prnting new 3D “stuff” like crazy. More than 90% 0f what I print is my original design. So that means I produce the first edition. If I produce a design I really like, it might be reprinted many times. I am proud it is my design and I am not…

I struggled trying to get really nice 3D FDM prints. Just recently I discovered the errors in my way. I believed the “recommended” filament flow settings were accurate. They are not. At best a very rough starting point for the newbie. I laugh every time I see someone ask. “What settings do you use to…

A lot of quirky events have been occurring with my 3D printing. Definitely tied to the “Quantum Effect”. My machines have been complaining about their workload as only machines know how. They start breaking down. I wore out the bearings in the filament feed drives for the CETUS2. Probably a thousand hours on them. About…

The resin [sic] I do this hobby is I like to design from scratch and then use 3D printing as the proof of design. I deliberately chose the word resin (line above) because that is one of the materials I use with 3D printing. I just ordered a new resin type printer. The Anycubic Photon…

I try to design something new to print nearly every single day. It’s what I do and the reason for this hobby. For me it is not just about the printing. It’s seeing a new design become a real thing. My spouse is a quilter. Sewing is her thing. I support her the best I…
