What are you making ⚒️ / 3D printing 🖨

Been on a big TPU kick now, thanks to a tweaked profile for my P1S. Been further tuning it, trying to increase speed without getting a ton of stringing.

Telescope eyepiece caps b/c I keep losing them

Neat beer bottle cap design I found

Lastly, I can’t remember if I’ve mentioned it on the forum, but dropped out of college a bit ago…

I’ve had this key loop for the last 4 years, and I really like having one, very useful for grabbing and finding my keys, but didn’t really want to rep the university anymore…


Printed a prototype out of TPU.

Overall, turned out extremely well. Incredibly strong, and decently flexible. I printed this one with 3 perimeters (1.2mm), on the next revision, I think I’ll try 2, to make it a little more flexible. Even then, I don’t hate that it’s a little more stiff, it seems to make it easier to grab while still comfortable in the pocket.

I also need to reduce the width a little near the keyring, maybe add an angle or something. I measured the fabric width, but the fabric rounded the corners of the keyring a little better. Might just make the whole thing a little bit less wide.
