The sunflower season is getting started! 🌻 I 3D printed these glow-in-the-dark plant labels on my Prusa i3 — four are ready so far: Moulin Rouge, Giant Double, Giganteus, and Aztec. More varieties are planned, so more labels will follow. Each sunflower has its own character, from the deep burgundy of Moulin Rouge to the towering stems of Giganteus. A satisfying way to combine the maker hobby with the garden.

Het zonnebloemseizoen gaat van start! 🌻 Ik 3D-printte deze glow-in-the-dark plantenlabels op mijn Prusa i3 — vier zijn er al klaar: Moulin Rouge, Giant Double, Giganteus en Aztec. Er komen nog meer rassen bij, dus ook meer labels. Elk ras heeft zijn eigen karakter, van de dieprode kleur van Moulin Rouge tot de reusachtige stelen van Giganteus. Een fijne manier om het maker-aspect te combineren met de tuin.

This is my Tevo Tarantula Pro, a Prusa i3/Ender 3 based bed-slinger. And there's not many like it.

It's an alright printer. Absolutely terrible when I first got it for my usage; I print mostly small parts and at the time Marlin didn't support mesh bed leveling. It was however the cheapest good DIY kit you could get at the time (2019-ish), costing me 200€ which I didn't really have.

Currently the upgrades are a BLTouch-clone Z-stop, and a magnetic bed plate (the old one had a tad too many "hotend crashing into the bed frame"-holes. Also got a brass 0.3mm hotend as a compromise between 0.4 and 0.25mm

It's so close to being a good printer tho, but it requires a few upgrades still. Right now I'm working on getting the extruder changed out, because just about any 5€ one you get from China will to better than the horrible plastic spring "tension" one stuck on the back.

It's also still using an 8-bit MKS GEN L controller, tho that's actually fine, even for small footprint stuff.

I printed this piece for my Prusa i3 Jalopy Rebuild. The Adjustable X-Idler has always been a bit of a joke in old brittle PLA, quickly disintegrating every time. But with modern PETG a little bit of material goes a long way, so this turns out to be a pretty sturdy part! #3DPrinting #RepRap #Prusai3

Dear #3DPrinting folk, I have an ancient
#Prusai3 _clone_ (BQ Hephestos 1) that has an all-in-one nozzle and extruder assembly (single piece of metal from the servo to the tip).

Anyone know what would be the best replacement extruder for this old a #Prusa so I can start using modern nozzles?

I know I will have to rebuild the entire assembly, just wondering if there is an "easy" kit to do so.

My 3d printer has a special spot for a raspi to be added on.

Anyone have alternatives to suggest?

A while ago I made this project called #noiseboard, with G. Dinello, A. Rizzo Pase, and @cultve - It's a skateboard that turns movements into sounds! - 3d printed with my loyal #prusai3. Happy Birthday Prusa! - #myprusastory #design #skateboard #sound #interactiondesign #IoT
