Former Car Builder & Metal Fabricator, now making fun stuff on YouTube. Metal, wood, & a silly amount of 3D printing. Real builds with the struggle left in, not a scripted reality show. Check out the latest projects: youtube.com/mandicreally

My day job is being outsourced to a 3rd party in 2 weeks, is anyone in the industry hiring right now?
If I printed PLA or wanted to try a new vibe coded marketplace / app everyday, my inbox would be a goldmine. Too bad I don’t want anything to do with either cuz real sponsors are drying up… Seeming like you’ve got to be a TikTok shop sales person to make 3dp content in 2026.

I regret to inform all my 3DP followers I’m giving away printers next week in the Seattle area.
Wait, I don’t regret that.
I regret to inform all of my 3DP followers that I’m not trading anything off so my @Sovol3d M1D will probably find its home on my bedroom floor.
Want serious quality hotends for your Snapmaker U1 with high flow AND replaceable nozzles? Check out this deal!
This week we're offering a " @snapmaker U1 Starter pack" where if you get a 4 pack of Hotends, you can get up to 8 additional two-step copper or hardened steel nozzles for free!
The Pika Hotend outflows the competition and supports abrasives too :)

A neat radiator design I stumbled upon. Too bad it’s aluminum construction, but for the project I have planned that’s actually ideal.

Fellow 3D Printers: Do you just throw in whatever filament you buy & choose a generic profile, expecting your machine to handle that perfectly? Honest question, I truly want to know. I tune EVERY filament I print with before I use it. So this idea is so alien to me.

AI coding your own apps, for your own needs, concerns me... I worry about insular thinking. When you create what YOU need, you don’t know what new ideas someone else could provide to improve it. AI makes what you ask it to make. You lose out on ideas others bring to the table.
Rat Fink’s eyes are a paid actor in this photo… Look at what arrived from @BigTreeTech! Mercury One.1 overhaul anyone?

The @Prusa3D Core One with @BondtechAB INDX is off and running. 8 color Benchy laid down. Second print is a 38 hour 8-color print. Stay tuned for results!

This week, we’re looking at @hartk1213 Voron V2.4 – running INDX with 6 tools.
But there’s a clever twist to this one.
Hartk designed a custom reverse gantry, mounting all six tools at the rear of the printer instead of the front.
The result? The entire front stays open and clear, giving easy, unobstructed access to the build plate. A smart solution, a clean setup and exactly the kind of creative thinking we love seeing around INDX.
Six tools tucked away at the back. The build plate all yours at the front.
Did we mention that we love INDX? If not, we do. ❤
More INDX in the Wild next week.

Another completed build! Thank you to everyone who joined along with @Steve_Builds and I as we built the Antithesis Aether. Such a wild design and super fun to watch print.
