Visor Clips for Sunglass

Let's make some of these and give it out.




Make sure not to use PLA as it will melt in the hot car.  This is PETG, also use ABS.

Eiffel Tower

So I wanted to try out the brown Hatchbox PLA, and print the Eiffel Tower since the color is somewhat copper looking.





So nice, I can't believe the details!

***Do not overheat!  I was trying to get the stringing out and this happened (legs are bent), my first time doing this.  Lesson learned.

Ikea Lack Table enclosure

So I needed a cabinet to hold my printer, looked into the Ikea Lack Table enclosure by cisardom I decided to make this one since my cost was only $70 in materials.  Here is the final product.  This was printed on HatchBox PETG, and it came out really well, I think this is my go-to PETG, I have tried eSun, but HatchBox seems more consistent in my prints.






--Some additional things I added.
