Another disaster *cough cough* "learning opportunity" has come our way in the makerspace. A failed print and a massive blob of jammed filament caused our @ultimaker print core to get jammed into place.
Surgery is underway.... 🙏

This time of year we start thinking of gifts to buy and make for our friends and family. I particularly love a great game reference and it doesn't get much greater that some #3Dprinted models from @Eldenring game of the year 2022.

How much to #3dprinting figures make you want to cry...? Me 2000 knights on horseback later.. a lot. Supports just not supporting😂
