7 different Apollo rockets, plus 1 in pieces to illustrate the different stages of flight plus a shuttle, all 3d printed. Displayed on a bookshelf
Finished with the smaller Apollos I think. Just the supersized Saturn V with launch pad, gantry etc. But that will take a couple of filament orders, that thing is huge 💰💰 #3dprinting #boomersmakingbaddecisions #apolloseries #nasa
A 3d printed grey square, 256 x 256 mm. Half of the launch pad that will hold a Saturn V rocket when complete
This is why I needed a bigger printer. This is half of the launch pad holding the Saturn 5 and gantry. Takes up the entire print bed. 257 x 256 mm, 10 x 10". I believe I need a 2nd job just to support my filament purchases! #3dprinting #boomersmakingbaddecisions #apollospaceprogram #nasa #saturnv
A 3d print on progress of Le Poisson Steve, he's very orange
Le Poisson Steve is all cool and Zen on TT but he's high maintenance on a printer. 1 broken filament error, 2 tangled filament errors, 1 out of filament error and he's somehow lost an arm. Nevertheless he will be a part of the household #3dprinting #boomersmakingbaddecisions #stevethefish
New strawberry tower, printed pretty cleanly with only a few strings. Printed on an A1 instead of the older A1 Mini. Bigger IS better for printers. Just in time for planting. #3dprinting #gardening #boomersmakingbaddecisions
Bigger printer in transit, an A1 Bambu. An early birthday present to myself. This medkit is a strong possibility for first print. #3dprinting #boomersmakingbaddecisions #again
This is a cool little gadget, was easy to print and assemble. HX8 iPad stand that fits my own tablet too. Found on Makerworld #3dprinting #boomersmakingbaddecisions
3d printed Cybermen, a Tardis, Daleks and Robby the Robot sitting on a bookshelf
Veronica is working as hard as me these days, with many more to go. #3dprinting #boomersmakingbaddecisions #drwho #cybermen #daleks #tardis
10 shiny silver 3d printed Cybermen from the Dr. Who tv series on a shelf
I found a few files, different versions from different eras of the show. Still on the lookout for more, though. So far they're all pretty shiny #3dprinting #boomersmakingbaddecisions #drwho #cybermen
Black 3d printed hydroponic tower not fully assembled yet, 4 rows high standing on a table beside a small 3d printer
This should be fun to test. Waiting for hardware next week and then hopefully it works. #3dprinting #hydroponics #boomersmakingbaddecisions
Soup and vegetable cans laying on blue 3d printed rollers, 3 rows high connected together and set at an angle for rolling to the front.
While working long hours (from home thankfully) I printed these can rollers. They work quite well and freed up some shelf space for more lol. Found at makerlab by @RomeEight1. #3dprinting #boomersmakingbaddecisions
I have talked myself into getting a bigger printer, probably closer to summer. There's a base pad and gantry I'd like for the Saturn V that just will not fit on the mini. 🤷😅 #3dprinting #boomersmakingbaddecisions
Shelf of 3d printed figures, 2 bronze/green Godzilla, 1 bronze/green articulated snake plus dragon egg, 1 black/grey Mothman, 1 large silver and black Dalek and 1 black Robby the Robot from the film Forbidden Planet
Small but growing collection. So many files, so little time #3dprinting #boomersmakingbaddecisions
Auspicious dragons turned out really well. Hope they're hard working. File from Makerworld from Bababu. #3dprinting #boomersmakingbaddecisions
Screenshot from a Bambu Lab A1 mini 3d printer showing total time printed at 703 hours.
43 days since Veronica 3D printers arrival, averaging about 16 hours a day. Should I expect her to demand a raise soon? #3dprinting #boomersmakingbaddecisions
A green 3d printed dryer vent flange to be used as a PVC pipe holder for a hydroponic tower.
A decent print of a dryer vent flange that I embiggened to adapt to hold a 4" PVC pipe used as a hydroponic tower. My embiggening skills are lacking however, 4" is the inside diameter, not the outside diameter, which I knew but only in theory I guess.🤦♀️ #3dprinting #boomersmakingbaddecisions
I like this makerlab set better than the rocks I painted earlier and these are less likely to leave bruises when I drop them on my foot. #3dprinted #boomersmakingbaddecisions
6 - 3d printed Apollo NASA rockets and the space shuttle Endeavour displayed standing tall on a shelf.
Everything's printed, just need to assemble them but out of glue and work will be busy for the foreseeable future. It might be a bit before I'm done but I'm very pleased with these so far. #3dprinting #boomersmakingbaddecisions
3d printed models in black and white of Apollo 5 and Apollo 7 sitting on a bookshelf with a small replica of the first lunar lander. Nearly too tall to fit.
Work intruded quite a bit but I managed to assemble the 2 smaller models and finish printing another. 2 more to print and 4 to assemble. #3dprinting #boomersmakingbaddecisions
5 boxes stacked, all of model spaceships. Voyageur, Discovery, and 3 - 3d printed Apollos from NASA.
2 3d printed black tea light holders in the form of piled rocks, roughly 15cm tall.
I've spent much time lately working but now have a couple days to play. Time to assemble some ships and I need to learn how to sand the tea light holders. #3dprinting #boomersmakingbaddecisions
The 1st of many I hope. Saturn V. 56 cm, 22" tall. File from @makerworld printed and assembled easily. I'm gonna need to reconfigure a shelf to hold these. #3dprinting #boomersmakingbaddecisions
Most of a Saturn V. I feel like a kid again, browsing the Makerlab catalog like it was Sears. #3dprinting #boomersmakingbaddecisions
3d printed replica of Space Shuttle Endeavour sitting on a table
This might not be just another month long hobby that gets pushed aside by the next one. There is so much I want to print! #3dprinting #boomersmakingbaddecisions
For a nominal fee there's a European file creator selling all the files for the Apollo series 4 thru 17. My Xmas present to myself. I need more filament 🤫 #3dprinting #boomersmakingbaddecisions
3d printed vernier caliper, white with black lettering
Yes I could buy one from Amazon for 6 bucks. But this is much more satisfying. #3dprinting #boomersmakingbaddecisions
Some little things while my job demands some extra year end attention. These will also make some cool gifts. #3dprinting #boomersmakingbaddecisions
3d printed parts of a replica Shuttle Endeavour, not yet assembled
Brings me much joy to soon have a replica Shuttle Endeavour. #3dprinted #boomersmakingbaddecisions
Sometimes printing support items is as satisfying as printing the cool nerdy stuff #3dprinting #boomersmakingbaddecisions
A 3d printed reusable Christmas present gift tag of Mickey Mouse holding a candy cane
I like Hueforge but am not nearly experienced enough to create my own prints. Working on it though #3dprinting #boomersmakingbaddecisions
Articulated caterpillars toy, 3d printed in green with yellow spots
3d printed hydroponic net cups
3d printed steampunk Easter egg in copper and silver colours
Articulated baby dragon 3d printed in white with purple accents
A productive weekend #3dprinting #boomersmakingbaddecisions
