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

Elegoo Centauri Carbon is Here
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

3D Printed Shoes Discussion
1 pointNice 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.1 point

3DMakerpro Toucan Discussion
1 pointLooks really interesting. Did you try any other 3d scanning applications before this? I would be curious how competitive can be a 3d scanner app for a phone that makes 3d models from 2d photos (using AI or not). I heard good reviews about both 3d scanners and apps as well. But i would give the apps a try before scanners, because the price is too steep (1500$) compared against a free web tool or AI that may make a similar quality 3d model using 2d photos of it. Nonetheless great review!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! The project is available here: https://www.printables.com/model/1549635-balance-tetris-customizable Other pictures:1 point

Has anyone tried 3D scanning and then printing an object? I’m a beginner at modeling, and learning modeling has really been such a headache for me.
As the title says, I’ve been wanting to try 3D printing a part recently. Its edge is damaged, but the seller says I have to replace the whole thing, which feels like such a waste. If there are any online tutorials available, please share them with me for reference. Thanks, everyone. Update:I finally decided to purchase the same type of material, haha, but I still welcome any related learning resources if you’d like to share them.1 point

I’m very sorry that I can’t provide a picture at the moment as I’m away on a business trip and don’t have the item with me. However, it’s a gear — a part from my child’s toy train. My plan is to buy various models of similar gears and see which one fits best. Thanks again for your reply.1 point

Anycubic Kobra S1 Combo - First Prints & Setup Showcase
Yes, it is highly likely that when the wires were cut, they momentarily touched (created a short circuit), which damaged a small component on the printhead board where the fan connects. Since you've confirmed the fan itself works, the problem is almost certainly with the board that provides power to it.1 point
