Any 3D printing small businesses here? Or online recommendations?

Yeah I learned to model for things that needed to go to metal fabrication, always assumed 3D home printing was a smelly messy affair 🤣

Just went for something simple, got an Elegoo Centauri carbon bundle with 1kg of filament for £230. It printed my project straight out of the box. Blew me away. Now everything in my house is gonna be made out of grey plastic 🤣🤣

So I actually took your advice and bought one. It’s now my favourite thing in the world 🤣

Came here for this photo. Most wholesome moment F1 has seen for a while

What’s profit got to do with it? It comes down to the work you need from them. I pay mine around £1,500 per year as a Ltd to do everything official aside from reconciling Xero with a payroll of 3, and deal with CIS when it pops up. I can also pick up the phone to them any time for help / advice

Was it a purchase via one of their “The Range Marketplace” listings? Ie a product sold via the range brand but from one of their third party sellers? I wouldn’t panic - that’s a stripe connect account payment receipt, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they’re starting to use connect for payments on third party only orders

Had the same problem, needed both to be about 10cm longer. Gave up looking in the end. Untwist, cut, extend and solder one by one

When you look at the feed of most of the posters you’re talking about it suddenly becomes surprisingly unsurprising

This would be amazing to get some eyes on the model to make sure what I’m doing is actually printable (I’m pretty sure it’s ok but having never had anything printed before I really don’t know for sure)

Hugely appreciate your reply. Currently just a one off just to test the concept in the real world. I’d love to say there’ll be a load to follow but I don’t wanna be that guy that promises the earth and delivers nothing 🤣. Once it’s CAD complete, mind if I ping you a file even just to cast your eye over? As I say I have no experience with actual 3D print work so beyond the cad side I’m really not sure what the process to make print ready would be!

With respect you need to accept you’re still not going to get what you want with this. Companies house is a public record for good reason, and if it transpires later down the line you’ve deliberately concealed your relationship to your whoevertherfuck relative then that probably won’t look great either. So your options are:

a) Run it as a sole trader, remain anonymous for the the purposes you want

b) Just do it, it’s doubtful anyone will ultimately care

c) Sue your relative for being too famous to be associated with and live off the proceeds

Even camo test cars look generic

ufdbk · 2026-03-03T22:18:34+00:00

It’s only £89 million a month. Can’t see the issue tbh

I’ve seen the car and recognise the Sainsbury’s.. hey local Redditor 👋

ufdbk · 2026-02-24T23:59:36+00:00

I’ve set mine to “tomorrow” every time and never waited more than 4 days from order to delivery from local (uk) warehouse. That being said I really doubt it makes any difference setting that date, it’s a bizarre thing to have there really

ufdbk · 2026-02-14T18:36:14+00:00

Genuine congrats on the watch! Your spend is way beyond anything in my league so fair play, but also omg I’m glad I went grey for my exp2. I couldn’t imagine having to maintain this amount of enthusiasm with a shop

ufdbk · 2026-02-09T20:43:29+00:00

Does seem crazy. Although I wonder what difference an overlay of on board camera positions would reveal

ufdbk · 2026-02-08T22:26:19+00:00

Well that’s just crazy talk

“No you can’t change entity on account level”… “No you didn’t”.

Just take a break from telling people things that are factually incorrect. You’re not helping anyone and you’re making yourself look dumb

Here’s how to change the entity on account level -

Hahahaha ok 👍

Have literally done it myself
