Just received these packages recently. Assembly is still in progress as I am waiting on some accessories and materials, but hopefully, the work can start soon! I am really excited to be part of this collab with 3DWithUs and Carverall!

Nice! Thank you for sharing. Good luck on the setup. We changed the title to Carverall JL9 Discussion, since it is sort of a working thread. We will link to it from the main article and vice versa.

Giveaway filament arrived!I got: Refill PLA+ Red Matte Dual-Color Orange-Red Thanks you SUNLU and 3DWithUs! (I am starting to run out of storage space :D)

It's been a while since I posted here, so here is the new batch of giveaway filament prints :D The PLA+ Red and Gray were really good. They are definitely tougher than regular PLA (not PETG levels, but perfect for my applications): They are perfect for HSW inserts, holders and cable organizers. Also, these were all of the giveaway filaments I received in recent months: Sunlu PETG - Red Sunlu PETG - Black Sunlu PLA Matte - Yellow Sunlu PLA - Midnight Sunlu PLA Matte - Sprout Green Sunlu PLA Matte - Ocean Blue Sunlu Silk PLA+ - Rainbow Sunlu Silk PLA+ - Blue When I posted about my HSW setup, Sunlu was kind enough to let me choose PETG over PLA (love you Sunlu ❤️). I have quite a lot of filament rolls open, so I didn't have the heart to open these as well for a test print, but as soon as my supply diminishes, I will post a follow-up about them! I highly recommend participating in the monthly giveaways! You can earn some wonderful filament rolls! Thank you 3DWithUs and SUNLU for the giveaway!

I reached 10,000 downloads on Printables and I wanted to say thank you to everyone who supported me and my models! Moreover, I wanted to share a few things about my journey and what comes next. I started making and uploading 3D models in October 2025. I made my first designs in TinkerCAD and Blender. Then I discovered FreeCAD, and I have been using it ever since. I have been designing all kinds of decorative, functional and miscellaneous things with them. I have also been taking part in contests and community challenges alike, while uploading some of my personal projects as well. In the future, I plan to keep extending my current collections with new or better designs, like: Glitch models Fidgets and toys Accessories for the Honeycomb Storage wall (I will also keep adding some of my personal projects to the mix and keep participating in contests as well!) So, here are some of my most favorite makes of my models: Glitch Benchy make by @LegoRJ35 I love the radioactive look, the green resin shows! Christmass Tree make by @Agit68_226454 They are just so colorful! I love them! Another Glitch Benchy make by @dominic_301362 That Silk Twist PLA just looks astonishing (and the size of it — wow)! Thank you again to everyone, who helped me with likes, downloads and makes on Printables! (This post was mainly focused on my Printables journey, but I am active on other platforms as well: linktr.ee/marcidy)

Thanks! Feel free to link it. Nice article! I didn't even know you covered this topic!

Great milestone! Congratz. Christmas trees are interesting techniques. I remember a similar hairy print craze ten years ago. I wrote an article about it: https://3dwithus.com/hairy-3d-prints. I need to update it at some point. I would definitely link it to your Christmas Tree! Nice glitch benchy print!

Here is the link to your first guide - Congratz! 🎉🥳 https://3dwithus.com/honeycomb-storage-wall-guide-3d-printed-tool-organization

I had a blast 3D scanning and repairing RC boat parts with the @Revopoint3d MetroY Ultra. I think I’ve just unlocked Level 2 of 3D scanning… thanks to a few tricks. 😄 Full article next week.

From broken RC boat parts to functional replacements. The biggest lesson from this project wasn't just the scanner. It was the workflow. 3D scanning → Blender → 3D printing, with a little AI help.

Flashforge Creator 5 Hands-On: 4-Toolhead 3D Printer, TPU Shoes, and Multi-Colour Test Prints We have just published a new hands-on article on 3DWithUs featuring the Flashforge Creator 5. This is a 4-toolhead FDM 3D printer designed for multi-colour and multi-material printing with reduced filament waste compared with many traditional colour-changing systems. In this test, we covered setup, calibration, Orca-Flashforge slicer workflow, multi-colour prints, TPU printing, and even a pair of 3D printed shoes. 📹 https://youtu.be/1DOy4EUQpK0 ✍ https://3dwithus.com/flashforge-creator-5-hands-on-review-4-toolhead-3d-printer Featured: MAXSIMO, CloudBerry Toolchangers and nozzle-changing systems are becoming a very interesting area in desktop FDM 3D printing. Machines like the Flashforge Creator 5 show how this technology is moving into a more affordable range, making multi-material workflows more accessible to makers. What do you think about this approach compared with AMS-style colour systems? Feel free to start a new thread or post your C5 makes or questions here.

Hi! Just saw this topic/review while browsing the forum and I wanted to share my experience as well. I got the printer in 2025/June and I had it printing for more than 500 hours. I mostly printed with all kinds of PLA (silk, matte, coextrusion, gradient, glow in the dark, etc...) and recently PETG (occasionally I tried TPU as well). The default print profiles from Orcaslicer work really well and there is not much more to calibrate. I tried modding it as well, but that wasn't a smooth run: I tried out different hotends and nozzles (even two diamond ones), but all of them underperformed and the original brass nozzle came out on top. What actually improved the printing experience was the Rinkhals community firmware. It grants you full access to the printer: You can change the config (Speed up the color change for the ace pro), see your bed mesh, remote print with Orcaslicer, Mainsail/fluuid webUI, etc... Here is my bed mesh with custom leveling: 8x8 bicubic as opposed to the original 5x5 lagrange method. I also changed the leveling speed. Another really good mod is the Ace Pro riser: It gives you more space to work with. You can also remove the top cover with it. The side panels are even compatible with the Honeycomb storage wall project! (You can check out more about that here) At last but not least, You can check out my prints with the machine here. Most of those makes were printed on this printer (check the tags). Overall it is a great printer for an even greater price and that's why I chose this machine as my first 3d printer. The only downside i can think of is the warped bed (This is the most common problem for users): It has some really low points near the back corners. Edit: I posted about my setup on SUNLU's new community event if you are interested: https://www.sunlu.com/community/posts/323/a-humble-workspace-1-printer-but-60-kg-filament

The dual color indeed looks cool! Printed some pen holders with it. The models are not mine: https://www.printables.com/model/108872-pen-holder https://www.printables.com/model/198641-hex-vase-cup

Love dual color filaments ♥️ You'd better print something. Not sure how SUNLU feels about it 😅
