I live a few miles from Sandy Hook. Every new mass shooting rips the wound open again. Trans kids exist everywhere; so do mental-health struggles. The difference is NRA-bought politics here is the US. Blaming kids is cruel—and a distraction from the real problem.

Thank you for dreaming it up and making it real. UFOs brought joy, curiosity, and creativity to so many of us. Grateful for the ride and all the weird, wonderful prints along the way. Wishing you the best in what’s next!

Just finished May’s project: a screw sorter! Super fun build—I even gave it a candle wax spa treatment like it was a fancy medieval robot. Slightly modded a part, learned a lot. Got a better PLA lube idea? Hit me up! 🛠️🕯️🔩

Thanks @calebkraft.bsky.social + @dsk001.com —y’all rock. 🔩🕯️🛠️ #3Dprinting

This was the upgrade, the original used 3.5” floppy disks, I remember when it upgraded to this it was so much faster and quieter

Been there, done that :)

Aprils 3D UFO project is all done and it’s a hoot, I didn’t expect it to be this much fun, I had to get a little creative to fit it on my 3D printer, thank you @calebkraft.bsky.social for making this happen

Alien3D print project for March is completed, this one was fun, I successfully soldered the pins on to the Pico, thank you @calebkraft.bsky.social for making this happy, next step is to figure out which part of the code changes the function of this button

Abe Weiss @abeweiss.bsky.social · Feb 25

I kept checking the site, and as soon as all the files were available, I printed them. Everything was ready by the time the box arrived!

Abe Weiss @abeweiss.bsky.social · Feb 25

Thank you @calebkraft.bsky.social for this month’s Alien3D subscription box! Using the tool to complete building the tool was a fun twist. I’m excited to see what next month’s box brings!

Today’s watch is the E. Stohlman Earl—classy enough for a night in Harbor East, tough enough for a crab feast. The white MOP dial shines like the Harbor at sunset, the rhodium-plated sterling silver case is fancier than a Pimlico hat.

Made in Maryland, so local, it yells “O!” during the anthem.

Abe Weiss @abeweiss.bsky.social · Jan 30

Done, I am excited to see the progress of this great game

Abe Weiss @abeweiss.bsky.social · Jan 28

Thank you for the response, I really appreciate your hard work, it’s an amazing design and can’t wait to get it up and running, I ordered a bigger printer, it will be here on Sunday, and this will be its first print job

Thank you for the reply and it’s nice meeting you, at this point I am thinking of upgrading to a better printer, I won’t be using it a whole lot, do you have a recommendation for a new printer preferably would like to keep it to under $500

Abe Weiss @abeweiss.bsky.social · Jan 24

Which brand would you recommend? I am a beginner and honestly I will most like only use it to build UFO kits and once in a blue moon something else

Abe Weiss @abeweiss.bsky.social · Jan 24

Actually don’t worry about it, I just googled my printer (wide x-maker)and it’s known for the small bed, i am looking into getting a replacement, I am liking the creality ended 3 V3 plus, what do you thing of that one?
