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!

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!

TPM3D announced that it has reached a significant milestone with the industrial-scale integration of selective laser sintering (SLS) and high-performance PEBA elastomers for footwear manufacturing. https://www.3dnatives.com/en/tpm3d-sls-peba-footwear-18052026/#! Durability and long-term mechanical degradation have remained significant challenges for 3D-printed midsoles in high-performance sports applications. TPM3D says it has worked to address this “durability gap” through rigorous engineering and testing. According to internal testing, the company’s SLS PEBA components demonstrate a compression set of 22% to 26%, with no irreversible deformation observed after 200,000 dynamic flex cycles.

Your business card looks awesome! Great design. And the QR code works very well. 👍

And the work has begun... (Engraved anodized aluminium card) I am still waiting for a few accessories and materials to arrive, but I just couldn't wait any longer, so I ran my first project. It came out pretty nice and sharp :)

Hi everyone, I'm curious how people here calculate the real cost of their 3D prints, especially those who sell prints regularly. Filament cost and print time are easy enough to calculate, but once I started looking deeper, there were many other costs that can easily be overlooked — electricity, machine wear, failed prints, labor, packaging, marketplace fees, maintenance, etc. That's what led me to build a small Excel-based 3D Printing Profit & Pricing System that combines these costs and calculates selling price, profit and margin. I've recently finished it and I'm looking for feedback from people who actually sell 3D prints. If you'd like to take a look: Calculator on Gumroad: https://aipowersystems.gumroad.com/l/rvmwhm I'd also be interested to hear how you currently price your prints. Do you use a spreadsheet, an online calculator, or just a fixed markup over material/print time?

Just received the SpacePi X4 filament dryer from Creality and about to try it out. 📦 Bonus: My fluffy assistant was the first to check out the box! 🐶 If you’ve used it already, feel free to share your thoughts, setup tips, or anything worth knowing

Good idea! Once I've used it for a while, I'll share my experience with it.

Nice 2-spool holder. I use my X4 nonstop. I dry my desiccant dehumidifier sachets there as well. If you want to write a review about it, it would be great. Here are a few examples: https://3dwithus.com/filament-dryer-boxes-and-diy-solutions

Just received a Space Pi Plus by redeeming my points on Creality cloud. I haven't had the chance to use it yet (most of my spools are already dry enough), but looks great. Now I can finally dry filament properly :D.

Longer LK 10 plus in for test and review the LK 5 series was a good printer when they first came out a couple of years. So let’s see if it has evolved to fit in with the new 3D printers that are available.

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)

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.

10 years of playing with 3D printers, and I still get a kick out of fixing something around the house 👠 My wife’s shoe rack used telescopic rails that kept falling down, so I quickly designed and printed proper supports.

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

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. Full article: https://3dwithus.com/revopoint-metroy-ultra-review-blue-laser-3d-scanner Have this scanner? Please share your results.

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 😅

Hahahaha, the puppy loves it—he really seems to like that big guy! I also recently noticed that the filament at home has become damp; the printed parts are coming out darker in color. I'm currently thinking about whether to buy a filament dryer. Looking forward to your feedback!
