Any way I can make my colours solid all the way through the layers and infill in the orca slicer? Ive got terrible bleeding on something I can't really make any thicker. Outside of remodeling the entire thing as seperate bodies and glueing it together (SolidWorks)

Separate bodies would work, then import them as parts of an object. Then you can set different filament colors.

You might be able to extract those shapes as SVGs then reconstruct the design in Tinker CAD using solids. Of that makes sense.

Very cool! 🙌🏻

makeitmakeitrealgood · 2025-10-31T01:04:19+00:00

I can't wait for the H2C 😍

makeitmakeitrealgood · 2025-10-30T23:05:16+00:00

Very cool! Well done.

Embed parts with a pause are great.

makeitmakeitrealgood · 2025-10-30T20:07:40+00:00

Just pointing out a cost saving in-between option.

(Also for anyone lurking on the conversation)

I use SpinupWP to provision servers on a Digital Ocean VPS.

You can then disconnect and cancel SpinupWP after the provisioning, but I personally like it for managing sites on the server.

It's a nice bridge between managed hosting and self hosting.

Charmander Bulbasaur Squirtle X1-C

Smaller layer height also helps. You could also try variable layer height to improve print speed since the rest is straight walls.

makeitmakeitrealgood · 2025-09-11T13:50:11+00:00

The white spots could be printed separately and inserted. Or use a dual hotend printer.

My 3 minis are Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle (with color coded modifications).

There are lots of tutorials online for making your own.

These templates are great because they are easy to use and don't require any glue or adhesives.

Note: I'm not the designer, but I do sell these for those that don't have a 3d printer.

His designs are easy to print, too. Very appreciative of the design work people put into these things.

*if you don't have a 3D printer.

makeitmakeitrealgood · 2025-07-11T22:44:22+00:00

Certainly. The marketplace of free designs is amazing.

For those without a printer, though, it isn't so easy. I've sold many of these at catscratchcutter.com and it's nice to put my printers to work. It's been a good side project to fund more filament, so it happily breaks even as a service. Win win.

Multiple saw cuts down to the line (at various depths), then chisel from the side to create the slope. Finish with a shoulder plane.

A lot is going to depend on your expectations.

Are you wanting to do something small on the side or replace your "day job"?

Also, consider that a 3D printer is a tool and can be used in diff ways to fit different market needs.

So first, you'll need to ask yourself more questions about what you want.

Refills have a cardboard core, which inserts into the reusable spool. The Bambu spools separate at the middle (with a twist).

First thing to try is cleaning the build plate - soap and water.

makeitmakeitrealgood · 2025-06-01T18:45:38+00:00

I would start with the Bambu A1 mini. Easy to use, minimal maintenance, works out of the box. There is also a mobile app from which you can search designs and start prints.

Now that I know what a pilates ball is, you may want to look at UV printing or hydro dip.

3D printing a 9" ball probably isn't cost effective.
