there’s always those upgrades to the printer.
R/C parts- a back burner project is a cyclogryo. (The hope is to eventually build a hoverbike vaguely similar to the malloy hoverbike.) and there’s a few other things I need to print to get some models back to flying.
I’ve also got a chess set I’m working on- inspired by a set of files that are inspired by a metal set made by [Charles 'O Perry]9http://www.charlesperry.com/puzzles/chess-set). But that’s a backburner design, in part because they’re still enjoying the Lewis chess set I printed (in iron and bronze metal fill PLA,)
then, I’ve got a lot of requests for pendulum clocks from people I know. but those are a fair amount of assembly work as well as printing time. so they tend to be only for people I actually like.
I just “finished” a herome parts cooler upgrade on the E3 pro. And holy shit has it made a difference.
I’m in the process of printing random gardening stuff while I put off setting my Saturn back up. I am like a year behind on printing Loot Studios stuff. I wanna paint some minis so bad.
Antidepressants
Have you tried the PLA flavored ones??
Just about everything i wanted to print, still.
I’ve reached the point where i should just surrender my ender 5 plus and all the mods, just buy a bambu lab or something that actually works well from the factory.
Ew no. I’m still on my ender 3 pro version 1 from 2019. It’s upgraded to the teeth and works great.
There’s no way I’d throw away all that work for a locked down corporate spy machine that uses lots of proprietary, nonstandard parts.
And how much more have you spent on upgrading it than it would have cost to get a prusa or built a voron lol
Maybe $100. Almost all of the upgrades were printed. I bought an all metal hotend and a glass bed. I think that’s it. Probably more like $70.
I’ve had mine for 3 years, 3 years of headaches and modifying and it still doesn’t work right.
I tried printing something huge, turns out one cormer of the bed doesn’t warm up enough. It also has started having these uneven layers as if the belts aren’t at the proper tension.
It’s been 3 years of solving issue a and getting issue b, to solving b and getting c etc. Neverending maintenance and zero usability.
Boats. Lots and lots of tiny boats.
holder for tickets for my local public transport, that I can attach to my bag
Replacement mouthpiece for a vintage flute that had a plastic one.
Flute pad hole punch aimer thingy so I can make cheap China pads into open-hole ones for not-so-great flutes without having to buy a bunch of open-hole ones (version 1 was already made and proved the idea, now it’s just to iterate).
E facilitator prototypes before I CNC them (still learning CNC and I don’t like it).
Flute airstream aimer clip-on thingy for older people who have lost their embochure due to dental operations and such. (after I get the hang of the replacement mouthpiece; this is probably the most difficult one, due to precise mouthpiece shape needed)
Model for manually engraving the right size & shape replacement piece out of bone, for a badly cracked teapot.
Spherebot.
I had printed some accessories for my Quest 2 before, mostly for the controllers. I’d like to print them again, but 90% of them connected onto the rings that the Quest 3 controllers don’t have so they need to be re-engineered and I just can’t be arsed.
Saw someone make some pretty rehousing casings so you can use vintage lenses with cinema-style housings benefits, that was pretty cool.
A little model engine, early sidevalve type, guy has quite a few variations, but the second gen single now has proper cam timing. which I am unreasonably excited by.
so, sooo much.
I currently print some stands for some Lego spaceships. I also have over a TB of models from various Patreons that I support accumulated over the months. I also always find new ones I want to print, but rarely find the time to ACTUALLY print something, anything…
A lot of organization - tool organization for the garage, drawer organization for the kitchen and bathroom, wall mounts for things all over the house, some display shelves for lightweight things, crafting supply organization for my partner and also charging docks and headphone clips for VR headstrap.
Many, many things. But the most ambitious is… this. I haven’t yet had the courage to even start tackling it.

What? Who’s birthday are you talking about?I think your reply to another commenter here got double posted or something
A base to convert my plain Pax charger into a charging dock. I might include pockets for Budkups too
Do you have a good model you can share? I have a friend who loves his pax, and his birthday is coming up soon
I don’t yet, I was working on the prototype this weekend. How soon is his birthday? I can do my best to finish it and share the file in time!
Please take your time to enjoy the modeling process! His birthday isn’t until late may, and I wouldn’t want to rush you. If you share it whenever it’s ready, I’ll be super happy, thanks.
