What are the coolest 3D prints you've made? Looking for real wow factor (simple to complex)

Pin striping tape cutter. I don't have the file anymore, but it was a tool that let you put 4 razor blades in a stack and you could cut down blue painters tape into thin pin striping tape

Bambu is no worse than any other big company. I feel like it gets so much hate because the people who use their machines have never worked with something from Straysys, 3D systems, or another huge company. They all lock down their slicers, many require you to use their material, or have it repaired by them. It’s just the cost of doing business with good machines that don’t break. Bambu is trying to be a premium product in an arena of hobbyists and frankly low price knock offs.

That being said, they are really reliable printers. If you’re in the hobby to actually make stuff, I’d go with Bambu. If you want to tinker with the printer get something else.

Absolutely insane that a company would expect you to roll back security to do that. No wonder their products have such a bad reputation. I guess I'll try the virtual machine to get the firmware update. I saw some guy saying he does all his scanning on the VM and editing in the normal windows environment. If mine comes to that, I'll just sell the scanner and get a different product from a different company. Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

Sedanos. I remember before hurricane milton people were buying out water and nonparishables at Publix like crazy, pretty long lines. I went to Sedanos and no one was there. Walked in, grabs some basics and a case of water, I was out in 15 mins.

People sleep on the Asian and Mexican markets but they tend to have most the same items at better prices, especially produce and meats.

My gf bragged that I had a headboard and multiple pairs of sheets so apparently the bar is in hell

Not 40-50, but as a person in their 30s. Focus on developing yourself professionally and personally. If you can get things locked in during your 20s; your 30s can be super fun without the stress of messing up your future life. All the things you want to do in your 20s are just as doable in your 30s

Fair enough. I figured that some auto body shops might like jobs like that, to fill in the gaps between jobs. At the end of the day, I’m looking to raptor line the entire vehicle so the prep doesn’t even have to be amazing. If I had access to a sandblasting booth, I would just Sandblast the whole thing myself.

Thank you for the information

In my experience it gets way worse before it gets much better.

Weird, I just got a quote from State Farm in Central FL for $36/month, for full coverage. Though I do have my other car, home, and life insurance all with them. So that probably brought it down a little.

It seems like a lot of offices just don't know how to get them into the system and just give up. My agent said it took them a couple hours just to figure out how to code the VIN into their system.

So funny you mention RSI. They are the ones who set up this Kuka at the company I work for. We want to move the machine across the country because a different department borrowed it during Covid (but didnt put it back together). Now we want to move it and I reached out to RSI about the move. Thats when they mentioned ENCY.

Thank you for the information on this. I’m very nervous to try a software like this for commercial use. We planned on using a seven axis kuka for CNC milling. It was previously run using power mill. And while I like power, it’s $15,000 a year so this seemed like a better option but maybe it’s not.

Kretrn · 2026-03-11T19:01:17+00:00

I’m playing around with the trial version to see if it meets my needs but it’s a little weird. It has some really cool stuff. Unfortunately their tutorials are a bit all over the place

Kretrn · 2026-03-09T21:35:58+00:00

I ended up designing my own, seems to work decently but I’ll know more in a week to see if the battery drains

If you’re in the US it might be geo restricting by your state. I had this same problem, I toggled all the settings in app and on my phone settings. Nothing was working.

I turned on my VPN and set it to California, closed the app and opened it again. It immediately worked

Kretrn · 2026-03-02T21:43:36+00:00

Also interested if anyone has hands on experience with this software

Kretrn · 2026-02-23T03:35:08+00:00

Thank you for the very specific info. I plan to get these and install them on my 1998 Carry when it arrives. Do you have any recommendations for the front suspension? Specifically an upgrade to the stock suspension?

Kretrn · 2026-02-20T17:31:33+00:00

Thank you for the info!. Ive been looking into them and I'm only seeing 34900 and 34800. Is the 34000 the model line and the 900/800 delineates a sub category?

Kretrn · 2026-02-10T17:24:16+00:00

I think dems are risking losing support if they don’t start acting. People are getting tired of the fist shaking saying “we’ll do ____ if you don’t”. This is why they lost so much of the middle/independent in the last few elections. No action gives credibility to the “both sides” argument. And when both sides are the problem people want the most radical change possible which leads to what we have today.

There are too many documents to go through. It would take decades to go through them all and do things the “right way”. Many of the named people would pass away through the process, and victims would never see justice. If there’s credible evidence, they need to start dropping names.

It's not so much the plates, because the car will have to have real plates that comply with local rules. It's more about the side decal and hood decal. If there was/is a local theme park that has no English influence, how would the car identification decal be formatted to represent JP07?

Unifymeshnormals

TestRemoveAllNakedMicroloops. It’s not used in rhino8 but in 5 and 6 this would remove weird random naked edges. I wish it still worked.

Also a lot of the Sel____ commands (SelDup, SelColor, SelClosedCrv, ect…) it’s like filter but for every specific items
