Want to see the printers I've posted these last 19 days. See all of these and more ready to print live at @3DPrintopia less than 7 days from now. The only real limit is how much electricity I can pump into the booth!

A good design exercise for @openscad.bsky.social is to make makerchips, SVG import, text linear_extrude, and shape iteration. Don’t have an MMU/AMS? Just manually swap filament for the first and last layers with your pop color. Of course this can all be done in the slicer.
