Hey, /r/3dprinting – I made something!A few days ago, I was experimenting with making a snap-fit connector in TinkerCad, and I decided to try adapting a cantilever snap-fit to a rotatable joint. I printed a single joint as an experiment, and I was so pleased with the results that I cobbled together a few of them into this posable figure. I wasn’t very optimistic about the results – really, I have almost no artistic ability, and I’d have bet safe money on the proportions being grotesquely skewed – but when I put it together, it struck me as kind of cute.So, here it is: http://ift.tt/2bghdR5 http://ift.tt/2b5n67k

Sorry if this isn’t the right place to be posting this, but I’m starting to take an interest in 3D printing, and would like to buy my first printer. Are there any good ones I could get for ~$300? If not, how much more would I need to spend for a good printer? http://ift.tt/2aWs03K

http://ift.tt/2aQkHIO is the general consensus about these machines, I’ve been in the 3d printing world for 2 years and haven’t heard much about it. For $280 it sounds interesting! http://ift.tt/2aw4U6d

I made a return fitting for the end of a heater on my small pool. There is virtually no water pressure as this part is only a hook fitting that dumps into the pool.When the pump is on, water droplets form on the outside of the pipe around the bend at a steady pace and drip from this elbow connector.The part is 2 shells, 4 top and bottom, .25 layer, 55%, printed @ 245c. The wall is 2.6 mm.At least my fitting isn’t watertight. http://ift.tt/2aXlVTg
