I think I can brag about this one. This gold-plated outfit top that Karol G wore for her Coachella show? I did the 3D model and sculpt for it, for designers Michael Schmidt Studio. 3D printed by There You Have It 3D. 😊 #coachella #KarolG #blender3d #zbrush #costume #3dprinting
California’s attack on 3D printing is heading to the Senate. Here’s how it has changed, and why we still oppose it. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/we-can-still-stop-californias-3d-printer-surveillance-scheme #privacy #opensource #3dprinting
Every 3D print in NY can be surveilled — from political speech to company prototypes — if these provisions make it into the state budget. We need to act NOW to stop it. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/stop-new-yorks-attack-3d-printing #NewYork #3Dprinting
People were saying #3DPrinting is amazing. I’ve seen videos. I’ve seen 3D-printed elements, I own a few. I believed all of that hype. But having one at home? Wow. It exceeded my expectations by a country mile.
I understand this is an expensive, luxurious hobby. That’s why dear fedi- #Wrexham and close neighbours, if you want to print something at the cost of filament, reach out to me and we can arrange it.
P.S. I’m sorry, I won’t post anything. As a ♿️ person I’m struggling to leave my house.
New Yorkers, it's not too late to demand your representatives drop state-mandated censorship and surveillance from the proposed budget. https://eff.org/3DPrintNY #3dprinting #opensource #privacy #NewYork
Ok, I am now officially way into parametric models for 3D printing.
This week's obsession (to keep me busy while dealing with a surprise cold): I really like the magnet polarity helper tool, where you have one pen per polarity, so you don't insert magnets the wrong way around
But I didn't like that it was two separate items, and decided to make a parametric version where you can screw two halves toether (and also change the size in general): https://www.printables.com/model/1860291-parametric-magic-magnet-polarity-tool-optional-two
thinking about upgrading my printer. does anyone have recommendations for good multi-tool or multi-color printers for under 1k?

I didn't have a protractor. An hour later, I did.
This took under 40 minutes to print. It's all white PLA, the raised bits are painted up with a whiteboard marker. I could have been more careful in doing that, but it doesn't affect the overall function of the thing.
The font is B612, designed by Airbus to be highly legible in cockpits. Not really necessary here but I thought it'd look cool.
The 2cm cube makes it easy to grip, and it stands vertical on its own.

Recently I learned about TouchMapper: Create tactile maps easily for any address.
They use #OpenStreetMap to create printable 3D models of an area, for people with no/bad vision to literally get a feel for the place.
I love the initiative!
