With the @BambulabGlobal H3C release is brings even more attention to how "not user friendly" the painting tools are in slicers. I build daverigdesign.com/polycarver to make complex cuts to meshes easy, but now I'm thinking of adding a paint mode. Anyone interested?

Big updates Polycarver-V3. People asked for new features and I managed to get most of them in this update. Some big items are you can now add connectors and draw splines directly on the mesh to cut you model. #polycarver #3dmodeling #3DPrinting youtu.be/G2EB4fAaDAY

Built a new addition to the workshop. If you need a solid workbench with adjustable height this may interest you. #workbench #standingdesk #custombuild youtu.be/RFUkLtaDE-k

My wife wanted a simple way to track receipts that didn't require a subscription or require being part of a larger system, so I made her a iphone app and figured I might as well put it on the app store. Its free, not subscription, no online, it holds all the data on your phone. You can backup to your icloud if you want so you don't loose the data if your phone dies and export the data out to spreadsheet if you need it somewhere else. You can read more about it here if your interested daverigdesign.com/finn and get it here on the app store. apps.apple.com/us/app/finn-r…

I ran another experiment printing footwear. This time instead of just multi-material TPU, I added PEBA to the mix to see if it would make a more supportive midsole and tried gluing on a separately printed sole. Even if you don't print shoes, the process might be interesting for your other projects. youtu.be/k3XtA4KGrGo

Just updated PolyCarver, the free app I made to easily make curved cuts in your meshes before 3d printing. #3dprinting #polycarver #meshediting

Making curved cuts to your mesh easy at polycarver.com #3dprinting

Slicers let you make flat cuts to your meshes, but if you need to cut a curve you need to go into Blender or some other 3d editing software. So I made a app that lets you just draw a spline to cut up your mesh. It's free to download and try out, check out the video to see how it works and where to get it. youtu.be/7G6voqHYV5U

Every wanted to make your own shoes? I try and make multi-filament shoes on a tool chaining printer but you could still use Morphlex on a normal machine to print in a single colour. It would probably work alot easier :) #3dprinting #3dprintedshoe #shoes #shoemaking #footwear youtu.be/1-wnsJPn5pU

Are you in the market for a desktop laser? I just unboxed a new fully enclosed LX2 machine from Laserpecker. Its a interesting machine. #laserpecker #laserengraving #lasergraver #LX2review #diyprojest #SmallBusinessTips youtu.be/jXgqtLvGvdk

Do you print large multi-part projects and hate dealing with seams before paint? I tried a different approach that made finishing way easier, and thought others may might find it helpful too. #3DPrinting #Maker #Cosplay #PropMaking #3DPrintFinishing youtu.be/eizuWcrJtYk

I designed this D20 die and had it 3D Printed in Stainless Steel by @PCBWayOfficial , I planned to fill in the areas around the numbers with coloured resin but having 2nd thoughts. What do you think? Add some sweet resin colour or keep the cold hard steel?

Ever see amazingly detailed resin 3D Prints and what to get your own printer? You should watch this first so you know what your getting into and decide if the juice is worth the squeeze :) #3dprinting #resin3dprinting youtu.be/6yPuseDMJd0

Ever want to make a exact copy of something so you can print it? Or need to model a part that perfectly fits with a existing object? If so this may be something that would interest you.#CrealityOtterLite #structuredlightscanning youtu.be/LCm43MY08rQ

Ever have a print fail or have a terrible finish and don't know why. Same settings, same filament, but now getting bad results, the moisture level in your filament could be the reason. PLA usually doesn't suffer from this but if your using PETG, TPU, or other materials that absorbed moisture this may be interesting to you. youtu.be/m0hbRx6KM28

Do you have a Flashforge AD5X? Want to place stronger prints by using ABS or ASA? Check out this enclosure kit that makes it possible #3dprinting Flashforge AD5X Enclosure Review – Is It Actually Worth It?? youtu.be/adrwEkCI6Kw

A while back I tested adding baby powder to UV resin to hide layer lines on 3D Prints. Now I’m comparing it to Pro additives to see how it holds up. #3dprinting #postprocessing #uvresin #babypowder #glassmicrospheres #fumedsilica youtu.be/n2jyaXVJil4
