Help designing adaptive Chromebook keyguard/sleeve for student with muscular dystrophy
Hi everyone—I'm reaching out in hopes of finding someone in this amazing community who might be willing to help us design a custom 3D-printable adaptive device for a student. I’m a PreK special educator working with a kindergarten student, “E,” who has a rare form of muscular dystrophy called Pelizaeus-Merzbacher leukodystrophy (a genetic condition that affects the brain and spinal cord, leading to challenges with muscle control, coordination, and movement). We’re hoping to create a combined Chromebook sleeve/keyguard/wedge for his device (model N20Q10) that would support greater independence and access to learning and communication. The idea includes: A wedge to angle the keyboard so he can better see the keys A keyguard to help isolate individual keys A protective sleeve with a keypad blocker to reduce unintended key presses due to uncontrolled movements Our goal is simple but meaningful: give E more independence, improve his ability to communicate, and help him more fully access his education. We do have access to a 3D printer, but we need help with designing and creating the model file. I’ll attach a visual to help illustrate what we’re envisioning. If anyone is willing to collaborate or even point us in the right direction, we would be incredibly grateful. This could make a huge difference for a really special kid. Thank you so much 💛3 points

We built a fully Open-Source, Smart Enclosure with Air Filtration & Filament Tracking - Now live on Kickstarter
Hey fellow makers! 👋 By day, we’re a group of aerospace engineering students at TU Delft, but by night, we’re makers who have been in the 3D printing space since 2016. Like many of you, we’ve always struggled with one existential problem: the air quality in our workspaces. We noticed that printing with materials like ABS, PETG, and even PLA releases fumes, ultrafine particles (UFPs), and VOCs that linger in the room. We searched for a solution, but most enclosures on the market were either niche to specific printers, sacrificed build quality, or were simply too expensive. So, we decided to build our own. Meet Clura—a modular, smart, and completely open-source 3D printer enclosure. This awesome project is now live on kickstarter (fully funded in 58 minutes!) This is the link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/clura/enclosure We wanted to create something that actually protects your health while optimizing the printing process. Here is what we integrated into the design: Air Filtration: It uses high-performance fans with dual-layer HEPA and carbon filtration, capable of filtering the entire enclosure volume in just 60 seconds. Smart Sensors & Fire Safety: We packed it with a dedicated sensor suite. It uses a BME680 for temp/humidity/VOCs and a PMS5003 for particle tracking. For safety, it combines an MQ2 gas sensor with MEMS and optical smoke sensors to detect thermal runaway or fires instantly. Filament Weight Tracking: We integrated HX711-based load cells into the spool holders to track filament weight in real-time. No more guessing if you have enough plastic to finish a print! Universal Fit: Because it's modular, it currently fits the Prusa MK3/MK4, Bambu Lab A1/Mini, Prusa Mini, Ender 3 style bed slingers and so much more... Our 100% Open-Source Promise We are firm believers in the open-source community. Every CAD file, software component, and build guide is free and released under the CC BY-NC license. (links on docs.clura.dev) You can self-source the parts and build it yourself, customize it, and even submit your own mods to our Community Upgrade Center. You own it completely. No vendor lock-in, ever. The kits we offer are just a convenient way to assemble it by supporting the project while saving time and money in the process. We'd love to hear your feedback! Happy printing! 🛠️3 points

SLS PEBA to Scale 3D-Printed Footwear
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.2 points

How Do You Calculate the Real Cost of Your 3D Prints?
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?2 points

SUNLU Giveaway Filament Print Examples
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!2 points

Honeycomb Storage Wall, finally finished
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 :)2 points

Anycubic Kobra S1 Combo - First Prints & Setup Showcase
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-filament2 points

Elegoo Centari Carbon Discussion
2 pointsHey 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!2 points

Help designing adaptive Chromebook keyguard/sleeve for student with muscular dystrophy
Hi! I don't know much about Apple laptops (Macbooks), but what I would recommend is (if it is possible) to install custom drivers/firmwares or configure the current ones: Most laptops allow you to disable the touchpad completely With the right firmware you can also disable parts of the keyboard or remap it to a different action, write macros, etc... About 3D printing the parts: I found these that might give a good starting point for what you need: https://www.printables.com/model/171235-macbook-keyboard-cover https://www.printables.com/search/models?q=laptop+stand (Also, it would be helpful if you could share the build volume of your printer, so people can take that into consideration) I wish you the best and hope you will achieve your goals!2 points

Easter 3D Prints Showcase
2 pointsI both designed and printed some models for easter. Mine are a little bit simpler than others, but they came out well and as expected: These first 3 are my designs: Layered Egg Fidget: Articulated Twist Open Egg Containers: I made a mistake while modeling them. The left hand is backwards as you can see on the picture. Since then i updated the design and the issue is fixed. Simple Twist Open Egg (Original version): This was my first time modeling threads for 3D printing. They came out acceptable. The smallest one can slip but still holds the egg together securely. Other sizes are fine. Twisty Dragon Egg Fidget: (This design is not mine) I also made a showcase video for this to enter Snapmaker's easter giveaway: https://x.com/Marcidy_3D/status/2037489182990385450 (The theme might be familiar to some people :D) Happy Easter!2 points

Robotic 3D scanning for automation – anyone tried this?
Hi all, I’ve been looking into automated 3D scanning with robots for repetitive scanning tasks. Manual scanning works, but consistency can be an issue when doing the same part again and again. Recently I came across a robotic scanning setup called MetroHub, which combines a 3D scanner with a robotic arm. I’m curious if anyone here has experience with robot-assisted 3D scanning or similar systems. Is it mainly about consistency, or does it really improve overall efficiency in real use? Just trying to understand whether robotic scanning is practical outside large factories. Would love to hear your thoughts.2 points

Sloffies - Parametric slides
2 points"Sloffies" is an Afrikaans nickname for slides and flip-flops. I have designed Sloffies to be parametric so anyone can customize them for their feet using the customizer on MakerWorld. You can also download the script on GitHub and use the OpenSCAD customizer to customize them; the UI is just not as intuitive as the customizer on MakerWorld. Where it started I designed the slides and accompanying packaging as part of a shoe design competition. The competition, unfortunately, didn't work out for a variety of reasons, but it was honestly a blessing in disguise. It is my most popular design, and thanks to the 3D printing communities of Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, and Thangs, it was featured in a Hackaday article, which opened a lot of doors for me. Parametric slides The design was only available in select sizes required by the competition, and as requested by a few people in the community, I redesigned Sloffies to be fully parametric. You are able to customize the strap’s width, length, and thickness and import a logo. You are able to customize the sole's width, length, and thickness; add a patch; import a logo; and choose from five available sole patterns, which you can further customize to your liking. Designing your own Sloffies is a really involved process. I have included a PDF guide on MakerWorld and GitHub. I hope it will simplify the process. I have also uploaded a YouTube playlist that takes you on a walkthrough of the various sections of the design on MakerWorld and how changing one parameter changes the design. Open Source I have Open sourced Sloffies, and the OpenSCAD script is available on GitHub. You are free to remix and improve upon the design. There are a lot of improvements that could be made, like adding arch support, a contoured footbed, etc. I see the sole as a basis from which more shoes can be designed. The future I would like to learn Blender and design Sloffies with Blender, as OpenSCAD really limits what I would like to do with the design. I would like to establish Sloffies as an international brand. The first step would be redesigning the logo, the slides, and the packaging. I would love to incorporate an augmented reality app that allows people to try on their slides before printing or ordering.2 points

Ender 3 3D
1 pointHi everyone, I am new here and new to 3D printing so I don't know anything. I bought a used printer and I'm having some difficulty with my machine. First what happened is this, the screen would be lite up but it would be blank, nothing showing on the screen. After some research I found that it more than likely is a short somewhere in the heater wiring and probably at the heater head. So I started moving it around it the screen lite up with letters again. Next I started taking it off and the belt came apart where the two ends connect. My question is this, there are two metal clips on the ends of the belt but how do I connect them back together? Is there some sort of clip that came off of it because I can not find out how it is suppose to attach together. The belt seems to be in good shape but if I can put it back together and get it going now I won't have to wait for a new one. Thank you for your help. Have a great! By the way, its the old Ender 3 3D printer.1 point

SUNLU Giveaway Filament Print Examples
Will do! I just already have too many filaments opened up and waiting to be used. I am still waiting for some reusuable vacuum bags to arrive, so i can store them efficiently after printing.1 point

I made a parametric Sphere Carved Pot / Pencup in FreeCAD
Hi Everyone! I would like to showcase the result of my latest project: A parametric Anti Sphere Pot They are made by carving out a cylinder using spheres placed in circular and linear patterns. These patterns can also be twisted around the Z-axis, resulting in some truly unique designs! Here are some of the pots i created with it: You can check out and download the demo models on Printables for free. I hope you like it :)1 point

Balance Tetris game - Customizable
Hi! I would like to showcase another project of mine: A Balance Tetris Game! How to play?Take turns by placing blocks on the base by either rolling the die for it or choosing a preferred block. If the tower collapses on your turn, you lose! Printing tips:Different wall count and infill % have great impact on the game. I used 2 walls and 15% for every piece. You can print the base with 0 infill, 0 top/bottom layers. Scale it to your preferred size! 50% works just fine as well! I also recommend scaling the tetris die up to 133% (20mm). I recommend printing the solid blocks and the base on a holographic plate. It gives them a great look (Check out the last few pictures)! How to customize your own:To use the project files (.FCStd) you will need FreeCAD, a free to use/download CAD software. After opening the project you will see on the left side all the folders with the models and parameters. When you are done just export the models one by one: Select one of the models, then press Ctrl + e or Top menu > File > Export... The parameters:BaseArcOffset: Offsets the (circle's) arc on the base piece. BaseTeethCount: The number of teeth (slots) on the base piece. EdgeLength: The size of the blocks. GridWallWidth: The wall width of the Grid Blocks. (Solid blocks are not affected) DiceEmbossDepth: The depth of the emboss on the dice PedestalLength: The horizontal length of the pedestal. (The width is always 3 * EdgeLength) PedestalSlotDepth: The depth of the slot the base goes into. PedestalHeight: The height of the pedestal. The project is not foolproof, setting negative/incorrect parameter values might mess up the geometry completely! Happy printing and customizing!I hope you like it!

Balance Tetris game - Customizable
Thanks! The die wasn't meant to be printed in multicolor :D, I printed it out in 1 color and then colored the shapes in with a sharpie. But yours came out great!1 point
