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 $1M 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. Feel free to ask if you want any specific test, comparison, or scan example.

Thank you. Good point! Fixed.

As of 08/26/25, we have over 200 spools listed 🤯 That's a very nice list, thanks! I will add the link to the guide as well!

Added another calculator and guide. 🧮 This one helps estimate how much filament is left on partially used spools before printing. https://3dwithus.com/filament-remaining-calculator Want to share spool weights or calculator suggestions? Welcome to join!

Sorry, bad wording. Around ten years ago, 3D Hubs was a platform where anyone with a 3D printer could register, set up their own workshop, and offer 3D printing services. It was quite a big thing in the maker community at the time.

Finally, the weather cooperated, and we had a great day out with Teddy, and we gave PollyFab’s Airpuff One Pro 3D printed shoes a proper test along the way.

Hi Rubio, thanks for sharing the story, it’s a solid example of how 3D printing can help bring a product to market quickly and on a tight budget. The book you mentioned might be a useful resource as well. I tend to trust publications that have 3D Hubs involved, it was a solid platform back in the day. In fact, 3DWithUs was registered there in the early days, and we’ve already reviewed one of their books.

Pretty impressed with the choice of test models included. Could not stop printing one after another. Might give some clues on how to slice my own models. Featured models: Snapmaker, Lucky13toys, JINQITOYS

Hi Mark, 1400 hours is quite a run already. Good to hear you’re getting great prints out of it. Hopefully, the replacement parts sort things out long term. As far as I know, Will had this machine for evaluation, but I’m not sure if he continued using it beyond testing. It would be interesting to hear how others are getting on with it, too.

What is scarier than a DeathRacer? A Battle Hardened DeathRacer! This one became a real hero across a few guides and made it onto Sketchfab. EinstarOfficial Rockit did a great job capturing the punches and bruises on this beast. Hands-on: https://3dwithus.com/einstar-rockit-3d-scanner-review

Update: Here is the reply from the Elegoo representative: Thanks for forwarding this question. I asked the sales team, who told me this is not for sale at the moment. You may tell users to contact support here: https://www.elegoo.com/pages/contact-support

Hi Henry, thank you for sharing your experience. That does sound frustrating, especially with both assembly issues and the broken acrylic part. I will ask my EiBOS contact about it and see whether a replacement part or another solution is available.

New PollyFab 3D printed shoes just arrived. Unfortunately, our Chief Inspector Teddy is currently on light duty after surgery… but still insisted on supervising the unboxing 🐶 These are Airpuff One Pro (Orange) and Airpuff One.
