Former Car Builder & Metal Fabricator, now making fun stuff on YouTube. Metal, wood, & a silly amount of 3D printing. Real builds with the struggle left in, not a scripted reality show. Check out the latest projects: youtube.com/mandicreally

Is the @Prusa3D Core ONE w/ 8-Tool @BondtechAB INDX ready to go or just a flashy tech demo? Let’s talk about that. Is The Prusa Core ONE INDX Actually Ready? youtu.be/jIT4Spl9CJc

Moved the INDX equipped Core One into my office today. I haven’t had a printer in here since I loved to Mandic Labs 2.0. This feels like a good fit. Though it could use some shelves to either side I think. (Below the MultiBoard @Patreon hall of fame.)

Insert Bane quote here. Studio before the light switch is flipped… aka 90% of the time it looks like this. I live in the dark mostly.
It’s always so dark before I turn on the studio lights!

I published my "Modular Print Tag" system, to make the Open Print Tag super modular between spools. So, now you can attach and reuse @Prusa3D OpenPrintTags on any spool you own. printables.com/model/1895304… Just use my OpenScad to make a spool adapter; tagholder.nomadsgalaxy.com

First print done. Ruby said “It’s so cute, this should be the standard Benchy!” Turned out solid. Time to throw something bigger at it…
Let’s finally see what the @snapmaker U1 is all about!

Close-up of a tool from the upcoming @BambulabGlobal P3C - looks like vortek on the bottom, INDX style extruder cutout in the middle, and then a WHOLE LOT OF STUFF at the top. What is all this stuff for?? Check out the slanted magnet action for docking.

My Gargoyle Door Knocker is now on @printablescom! Including a new "XL" version, scaled up to a 350mm+ build volume size. I printed mine on the @Prusa3D XL with @Proto_pasta Brass & Iron HTPLA. Check it out for free download now: printables.com/model/1893336…

Dear customers, We’ve heard from a number of you recently that the gears on your AMS 2 Pro Feeder Units are wearing out faster than expected. After digging into the issue, we found that a batch of AMS 2 Pro Feeder Units made between May and July 2026 didn’t get enough grease coverage during production, which is causing this faster wear. The good news is there’s no such issue with units we’re selling on official stores right now. We know this is frustrating, and we’re so sorry for the hassle this has caused you. We can’t say for sure exactly how many units are affected, so we’re making it right for everyone in this batch to make sure no one gets stuck with a problem down the line. Here’s what we’re doing for you: - 4 brand new AMS 2 Pro Feeder Units, on us. We’re covering all the cost of the parts and shipping, so you don’t have to pay a cent. Right now we’re getting all the parts prepped, so the new units will be sent out in batches over the next 3-5 weeks. If your current feeder is still working fine, you can keep using it until the new ones arrive, then check how worn your old one is before you decide to swap it out. - $20 discount code for your next Bambu Lab purchase. The exact amount will match the equivalent value for your local currency. - Extended warranty for your new feeders. When you get the new units, your 3-month warranty will start fresh from the day you receive them. Swapping out the feeders yourself won’t affect the warranty on the rest of your AMS, either. We’ve already sent a message with step-by-step replacement instructions to everyone in this batch through MakerWorld and Bambu Handy. If you didn’t get that message but think your AMS 2 Pro might be part of this group, you can check the wiki guide to confirm. We’re really sorry again for the inconvenience this has caused you, and we’re working hard to make sure this kind of issue never happens again. If you have any questions, please reach out to our support team and we’ll help you sort it out. For full details and information on the service program, please refer to the Bambu Lab Wiki: wiki.bambulab.com/en/ams-2-p… Thanks for being patient with us! Bambu Lab Team

I can't buy that this was a mistake... @UnboxTherapy's void of a studio just happens to forget the new @BambulabGlobal H3C in the background? These "leaks" are just ridiculous at this point and clearly a marketing move in their own right. Source: reddit.com/r/BambuLab/commen…

How is the internet less private than in 2006, when the whole family shared one computer? Back then, the internet was weird, personal, and all of ours. So, we got your favorite meme legends back together to say it louder: What happened to the internet? 1/3

OpenPrintTags by @Prusa3D are designed to be reusable. But adhesive is adhesive, and will loose its tack over time. So, I made a case and a click in adapter. Will post to printables once I have it fully parametric.

So many Facebook maker /diy /electronics pages are just AI slop things that physically wouldn’t work. These pages rack up hundreds of thousands of followers. It’s maddening as an actual designer / creative. What’s inspiring or interesting about clearly fake designs?

If you post "Open Source" 3d designs with only STL files, may your pillow always be warm on both sides.
