People were surprised that I didn’t need to recreate the threads. I didn’t. The original threads were scanned accurately. The key was placing the markers correctly to make marker alignment work reliably.

After several weeks of hands-on testing, my Creality Sermoon P1 review is now live. https://3dwithus.com/creality-sermoon-p1-review I evaluated the scanner across real-world projects including reverse engineering metal parts, standalone and PC workflows, outdoor infrared scanning, and complete scan-to-print examples. I'd be interested in hearing about and seeing other people's projects.

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.

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

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.

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.

That's a very helpful post, Marcidy. Thanks. I wish we could cover more about specific printer mods.

We’ve published an article about Bittele Electronics and turnkey PCB assembly services. The topic may be useful for anyone working on electronics projects, especially when moving from prototype boards to more organised production. Turnkey PCB assembly typically involves sending the design files and BOM (Bill of Materials), with the provider managing fabrication, component sourcing, assembly, inspection, and delivery. Full article: https://3dwithus.com/bittele-electronics-turnkey-pcb-assembly-manufacturing-services Have you ever ordered assembled PCBs, or do you prefer to source boards and components separately? Have you tried BITTELE Electronics services?

We recently covered the InfiMaker K1, a desktop 5-axis CNC machine aimed at makers, educators, designers, and small workshops. It is an interesting machine because it combines 5-axis machining, an AI-assisted workflow, a 6-slot automatic tool changer, and an enclosed desktop format. InfiMaker also shows a range of CNC job examples, including metal parts, wood carving, resin/wax-style models, and decorative objects. Here is the full article with more details and sample images: https://3dwithus.com/infimaker-k1-desktop-5-axis-cnc What do you think about desktop 5-axis CNC machines? Useful direction for makers, or still too niche/advanced for most workshops?

Sniffing and stretching before the real work starts 🐶 The 3DMakerPro Raven has arrived. Looking forward to putting this LiDAR spatial scanner through its paces. Please share your results and ideas here.

Planning a room makeover, home renovation, or interior design idea? This space is for sharing free and beginner-friendly tools for virtual home design, floor planning, room styling, and visualization. We recently updated our guide to free home design and renovation apps, covering tools for room layouts, 3D interiors, furniture placement, color ideas, and quick visual planning: https://3dwithus.com/the-best-free-virtual-home-design-and-renovation-apps Feel free to post your own projects, screenshots, room ideas, or questions here. Whether you are testing Planner 5D, HomeByMe, Roomstyler, Floorplanner, SketchUp Free, or AI-based visualization tools, it would be great to see what works well and what doesn’t.

I recently visited TCT 3Sixty in Birmingham, UK, where I noticed new flexible materials becoming available from consumer filament brands. One example was PEBA by eSUN, shown here as a 3D printed bicycle handle grip. It had a very nice, soft feel. The Adidas 4D shoes displayed at the Carbon stand also had a pleasant, velvety texture. I know these shoes can be expensive. Even printing your own pair on an FDM 3D printer can quickly add up once you factor in quality TPU, failed prints, machine costs, and the time required to get good results. However, this area is moving rapidly, and the collection of free, high-quality shoe designs available for FDM 3D printing continues to grow. Another area of interest for me is scanning our own feet to make them more comfortable. If all goes well, I may try some scanners soon. This one is VivoBiom by VivoBareFoot.

Awesome guide. Very thorough project. This kind of stuff is worth publishing as an article on the main website. I could ask SUNLU to send you 2 spools of PETG this time instead of PLA. Do you have specific requests? (Sorry for waiting patiently until the end of the month.)
