Hi! Thank you, thats very kind of you! I would absolutely love some PETG instead of PLA! I got way too many PLA at home now :D (30+ kg). Also after I finished the project I redeemed my points from bambulab for some PETG. Unluckily they just announced 1-2 days later, that they are renewing their PETG Basic with more colors and additives (They pulled the rug on their PETG-HF project). As for request i don't know if SUNLU has them on stock, but bambulab didn't have any orange/green available at the time. So maybe one of those colors? But it's perfectly fine if they send some random filament they have at the ready :) Thank you for the giveaway!

I recently visited TCT 3Sixty in Birmingham, UK, where I noticed new flexible materials becoming available from consumer filament brands. One example was PEBA by eSUN, shown here as a 3D printed bicycle handle grip. It had a very nice, soft feel. The Adidas 4D shoes displayed at the Carbon stand also had a pleasant, velvety texture. I know these shoes can be expensive. Even printing your own pair on an FDM 3D printer can quickly add up once you factor in quality TPU, failed prints, machine costs, and the time required to get good results. However, this area is moving rapidly, and the collection of free, high-quality shoe designs available for FDM 3D printing continues to grow. Another area of interest for me is scanning our own feet to make them more comfortable. If all goes well, I may try some scanners soon. This one is VivoBiom by VivoBareFoot.

Awesome guide. Very thorough project. This kind of stuff is worth publishing as an article on the main website. I could ask SUNLU to send you 2 spools of PETG this time instead of PLA. Do you have specific requests? (Sorry for waiting patiently until the end of the month.)

Revopoint POP 4 hands-on testing: I scanned feet for a scan-to-print shoe-stretcher experiment, tested color scanning, and even used purge towers from 3D printing as DIY marker blocks. This time, I also featured the Snapmaker U1 extensively. Purge towers proved surprisingly useful as marker blocks for 3D scanning. As for the printed foot… Halloween came early.

No spare printers here. Do you want one filament spool? We giveaway them this month.

Hi! 3DWithUs has a list of ongoing giveaways related to 3D printing: https://3dwithus.com/3d-printer-giveaways You could try your luck in one of them.

To the 3d designers, makers, and innovators if you are listening. I think the most meaningful gifts are the ones that spark creativity. Fuel my passion for design and invention. Give a small inventor a 3d printer. I will invent solutions for a lifetime and I promise to print you something amazing in return!https://www.tinkercad.com/things/0OrmEl0sxv0-missile-launcher-design

Hey do you think I could somehow get a free Elegoo Centari Carbon? I've just been wanting a 3d printer since my other toy box 3d printer broke and I couldn't fix it. I spent almost all of the money I could spend on that little 3d printer and when It broke I gave it to a friend. But now I want a new 3d printer that cant break and so that I can make some money. You don't have to do this at all, you don't even have to read this, but if you do I would be so HAPPY and filled with thanks for you giving me a free 3d printer. I hope this comment finds you well. Have a blessed day!

Nice article about the topic. Personally i find 3d printed shoes a little bit pricey. But printing them at home is very interesting. Especially now, when consumer level tool changers are available. You can now print it in multicolor (even with the new technology: color mixing) and with perfect supports without waste. Still wont be a perfect quality, but i would love to have my own 3d printed flip-flops at home :D What would really interest me is, how does PEBA, TPU and SBS compare to each other in this regard.

This was my very first time trying out PETG to print something that needs to be more durable than PLA. I suggested this Honeycomb Storage Wall project to my father and we aggreed to try it out with PETG. It went much easier than excpected. A little bit of stringing here and there, but the final result was good and worth it. Now we are thinking of printing another one for the garage wall as well :D I used CR-PETG for the red parts. Green one is from 3dk.berlin. After i ran out of both I started to use SUNLU PLA+ red (Yes, the one i got from the giveaway :D), PLA+ still does the job, altough it feels a little bit weaker than PETG. I took most of the models from Printables. Some i modified, some i made myself (i didn't publish all of them yet): Honeycomb storage wall Parametric HSW Hook Parametric HSW Multipurpose Holder for plier cutter and other tools Parametric HSW Multipurpose Holder for Screwdriver and other Cylindrical tools 100x70x100 Container with HSW Adapter Swivel Trays for Honeycomb Storage Wall (HSW) Battery holder for AA+AAA, honeycomb storage wall (HSW) HSW Multi-purpose Holder Hex Allen key holder for Honeycomb storage Smaller Screwdriver holders HSW M3 Insert - Heatset Insert For Mounting. HSW Wowstick Holder Screw driver holder (all-in-one) Multiboard/HSW tape measure mount (for any tool with a belt clip) HSW IR Pyrometer / Infrared Thermometer holder for Honeycomb Storage Wall HSW Hook Honey Comb Wall remixes and introducing my Screw Wall!!! HSW Caliper and CR2032 Holder HSW Vise Grip Wire Stripper Hanger Pliers Holder HSW HSW Hammer holder Hex Bit Holder (Honeycomb storage wall Compatible) HSW Tiny Bit Holder 36 holes Screwdriver Holder I can recommend this project for anyone who wants some modular storage on the wall. The base project has over 3000+ remixes and still counting. Also it is not just for tools, it can hold anything you can imagine, Just find/make the right model for it :D. I hope this post inspires someone to give this project and PETG a try :)

The new @Creality3dP Sermoon P1 just arrived for hands-on testing. Teddy already completed the mandatory sniff test 🐾 and seems cautiously optimistic.

Finally completed the 3D Printed Shoes guide. Did some hands-on testing, talked to people wearing them, and explored both fully printed footwear and hybrid lattice designs. One thing I still need to complete is printing my own pair at home. https://3dwithus.com/3d-printed-shoes-guide As usual, I’ll keep updating this guide when needed as the technology evolves and more designs appear. If you think something should be added, feel free to post it below or start a new thread.

Less than a month to go until #TCT3sixty. I’ll be attending again this year, so come and say hello. If there’s anything you’d like me to cover, feel free to comment or DM. We’re proud to be a partner of TCT 3Sixty, taking place 2–4 June 2026 at the NEC Birmingham. See you there: https://invt.io/1lxbjtqt86w

While the Revopoint POP 4 campaign has already broken past the $2M mark, I’ve received both the POP 4 and Metro Y Ultra for hands-on testing. Teddy, as usual, gave the packages a few barks and sniffs before approving them. Testing starts soon. Update: Hands-on testing review article is live: https://3dwithus.com/revopoint-pop-4-review-hands-on-3d-scanning-tests Feel free to ask if you want any specific test, comparison, or scan example.

I thoroughly tested the Sculpfun iCube Ultra, a compact enclosed laser engraver with both a 12W diode module and an optional 1.2W IR module. The diode laser was tested on 3mm and 5mm plywood, leather, slate, scratch paper, and aluminium business cards, while the IR module was tested on a stainless steel dog tag. Check my dedicated iCube Ultra video and hands-on article, which includes settings, images, pros, and cons. To share your own Sculpfun iCube Ultra projects, join us in the forum.

Thank you. Good point! Fixed.

Yes, it is. I use it when i want to estimate the leftover filament on a spool, but i dont have an empty spool of that brand. I see you marked me as the contributor (Thanks :D), but as you can see on the link, the catalog is not mine, i didn't publish it on Printables. The author is @Scuk_253012. I don't want to take credit for his work (Sorry for not pointing it out in my original comment).
