🤡 Ah, the Ploopy Bean: because what every computer truly needs is a 3D-printed, open-source pointing stick that screams "I'm unique and also slightly impractical." 🎉 With all the allure of a glorified toothpick and the precision of a drunken octopus, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it! 🙃

S-92A Helibus 1:400 - SLA 2

The S-92A Helibus features a sleek, modern fuselage with smooth contours designed for stability and efficiency in flight. Its spacious cabin and large windows give it a distinctive profile often associated with VIP transport and advanced rescue operations. The twin-engine layout and high tail boom create a balanced, purposeful silhouette recognizable from almost any angle. S-92A Helibus 1S-92A Helibus 1/400, this helicopter is printed with a resin printer, and here is a video link about how this helicopter is printed: https://youtu.be/kDWcNtzA1u8 Here’s what each label means: - FDM: Printed on an FDM machine. These versions have lower detail, no panel lines, no engine blades, and use thicker walls. - SLA 1: Printed on an SLA machine. These include antennas, include engine blades, have thinner walls, but still do not have panel lines. - SLA 2: Same as SLA 1, but with added panel lines for higher surface detail.

For todays #FreeCADFriday and my #mayke I've made a little #bike accessory. I often end up lashing things on top of my rear rack (waterproofs mostly!) and they often obscure my light that used to live on my seatpost. I've whipped up a little #freecad doohickey and #3dprinted it in PETG. It can be loosened and rotated to the side or underneath depending on what I'm carrying. Pleased with it! #biketooter I shall publish the files somewhere soon!

B727-200 - with and without winglets 1:500 - FDM

The B727-200 is an iconic trijet airliner, easily recognizable by its T-tail configuration and three rear-mounted turbofan engines (two on the fuselage sides and one center-line fed via an S-duct). Its key design features include swept wings and a built-in airstair below the rear engine, allowing for independent operations at airports with minimal ground support equipment.

How To Avoid Failed Screw Holes In 3D Printed Parts

Screws are useful fasteners for 3D prints, but the effectiveness of a screw (not to mention the ease or hassle of insertion) depends on the hole itself. This comprehensive guide on how to design sc…
