Yeah same but I kinda like the choice. Always wanted a display cabinet with those expensive statues but I was never going to spend thousands on my collection. I think I'll end up printing loads of stuff and just sorta wondering what to do with half of it.

Resin printing is so much easier than FDM, this is as close as I've got to success today.
I gave up on resin printing as it was so finnicky, I'd get amazing prints 50% of the time, the rest of the time it was a complete unknown as to what the issue might be.... Having to use a piece of paper to set the plate distance and level (I mean, who can level something accurately with 1 screw to tighten it?).....
My bambu A1, it just prints......

My experience has been the exact opposite so far. The thing with my resin prints is once it's starts successfully it tends to finish. Now that I've understood the suction issue I don't tend to get failed prints. With my FDM I haven't got a clue what's going on there. Bed adhesion is absolutely killing me right now and the prints take so long that even if it seems solid for the first few hours then I'll come back to a stringy mess. I can't even work out exactly what's going wrong cause it might just be my filament settings, the board isn't clean enough, its old and needs replacing or just the filament is dodgy. I'm going try everything but it's a lot more work than I was expecting, still I'm looking forward to actually printing useful stuff.

That print needs better cooling. Wobbly edge and stingy infill is a dead giveaway. ramp the fans up or turn the hotend lower in temperature.
I redesigned my Dyson lockable trigger. Grab it here if you like it: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1455454-dyson-v10-v11-v15-lockable-trigger-v2#profileId-1516829
I - like many people - was annoyed by the lack of a trigger lock on the V11 series. I tried many solutions to this; some community and others commercial but all of them came up short. They either were a piece that I would lose, or they restricted the operation of the trigger when attached. There had to be a better way…..
So, sat on my sofa one evening I was thinking about the V11 (as you do) and triggers when a thought entered my head: “What else has a trigger? Firearms have triggers. Some firearms have cross-bolt safeties or cross-trigger safeties that lock the trigger out. What if a cross-trigger safety could work in reverse?”
So, I took a scan of the V11 and got CAD'ing. This was the result: A cross-trigger safety that doesn't restrict the operation of the trigger.

Finally getting there with my printer. I don't know if the bed adhesion was solved by stopping the bed cooling down to 30°C or because I added glue. I'll experiment more this weekend.
My pet hate is working with people who change 10 things at a time then say "OK that's it fixed"....well which one fixed it then?

I'm terrible at painting and still have loads of work to do on this, colour isn't right. Need some Milliput to glue the hammer and loads of sanding on the base but it's getting there.
My first ever 3D print. I got my Bambu A1 on Saturday and got right to work fixing a problem that's bugged me for a few years. My monitor is too thick to properly hold my light bar so it always illumined the screen a little bit.
I measured, designed and printed this in 45 mins total. There are some similar solutions out there I found, but they had the light bar set back from the monitor bezel so while the light bar is more secure, you get the same problem of it shining on the curved screen. Mine locates it where you would expect it from the front of the bezel, just higher to accommodate the smaller profile for it to hold on to. I could have maybe reduced the height a little bit but I'm happy with it. I expected to need a few revisions but this came out perfect given the time it took me (30 mins was the print time, standard settings for the A1).
Next up, I have some toy RC cars I want to convert to more hobby grade so I will be designing and making some mounts for servos and batteries etc.

I used to as well but it got weird where you can just normally add photos an link them .. you have to add posts etc.. and mobile interface seem to be really bad

Having small printers make this difficult but it's coming along nicely. Gonna be a lotta work to make this look like one piece though.
