I'm on a roll! Another post on the @Cults3D home page. Woohoo! I caught this screenshot just before it gets bumped. 😊
My son wanted to make some "Lookies" for a friend, so we designed this together. Very cute! This model prints without supports. Free at @Cults3D. Enjoy!

My post of my post is now posted on the @Cults3D home page. Yea! 😆
🎉New post! Literally.
I posted my new post about my new post!
"BRB Post" is now an essential element of my classroom restroom pass policy. I made some for other teachers too. Great visual for the whole class when someone is out.

P.S. @PrintedSolid Mystery Orange and Neon Green make for a terrific combination for my "BRB Post." The bright colors make it so easy to see among the many students in my class.
I made these "Flat Numbers" for another teacher to label his small whiteboards around his classroom that students use in groups. They look fantastic!

One more new post for tonight: "Not a Seat Sign"
I've already used these several times in my classroom since I made them. Super easy to tag desks as off limits for various activities. STL at @Cults3D: cults3d.com/:5042343
🎉 New Post! "Display Numbers"
My colleague and I wanted a vibrant way to label desks for group numbers in our classrooms. I put these together for #3Dprinting.

Weekend Goal: Get caught up with my @Cults3D posts! I have five new designs to get out to the world. Four of them are practical prints for classroom management. Stay tuned...
My first significant foray into "painting" with @PrusaSlicer. I had a special request for a fun Falcon in our school colors. I eventually found an "eagle" by Wannub on MakerWorld that fit the bill (beak?), and I soared into painting it with school pride! Printed on @Prusa3D XL. Go Falcons!
The back looks fantastic too! I was also impressed with how well the supports all came off. Printed with @Paramount3D and @PrintedSolid Jessie PLA.
I have now tried setting up the file from scratch with @PrusaSlicer v 3.0.0-alpha12 and I have the same result: fuzzy skin on inner walls within the model. Can anyone please help point me in the right direction to report this issue to @Prusa3D as a bug report? See original post below. Thanks!
I have a @PrusaSlicer question/bug report.
On June 24, I saved a .3mf file with "Paint-On Fuzzy Skin" where I want only the outer walls fuzzy. I'm now running PS version 2.9.6 (released June 25, so this wasn't the version I had when slicing originally). Today when I slice the model, there is now fuzzy skin on the in between parts, as shown in the screenshot. I tried re-painting the fuzzy skin and it still creates the extra "fuzz" in the middle that I don't want.
I want to set up new prints, but I don't want it printing like shown in the "new" version. The "old" is my original bgcode. I don't want to install an "alpha" version of PS to test it, but I could do that. Any other suggestions? 🤷♀️

I'm going to revisit some of my "Flat Jacks" from 2022 today. This was a fun project based on the jack-o'-lantern models that my family designed in earlier years. Maybe I will be inspired to make a new one... 🤔

One week ago, we opened the doors to Maker Faire OC 2026—and what a weekend it was!
Thank you to every sponsor, volunteer, maker, and guest who helped make Year 5 so special. Your creativity, energy, and support made this our best Maker Faire OC yet!

Nice meeting Greg from @Cookiecad at the @MakerFaireOC last weekend. 😊 I hadn't tried their filament yet, but I love their colors. My daughter picked out a spool of Vanilla Redberry that we took home. We chose a few of my models to print and the filament looks fantastic! 🤍🩷
