Is there anyone who "fixes" 3d printers? I don't have time to tinker but need my #prusa servicing and adjustments/fixes on the hotend. Needs to be UK based, ideally Hampshire or Essex. #3dprinting

Victoria Hand Project: Changing Prosthetic Care with 3D Printing

Prosthetic limbs change lives — but they’re often expensive and slow to make. Traditional upper-limb prosthetics can cost thousands of dollars and take weeks or months to produce, leaving many people without the help they need. The Victoria Hand Project, based...

Earlier this year I helped a friend of mine by designing some assistive devices for her, including this wheelchair tray with mounting arms printed on my #Prusa printer and combined with a tray made from poplar. The tray slides onto the arms of the wheelchair.

Model for the wheelchair tray, designed in #FreeCAD: https://www.printables.com/model/1408124-tray-for-a-drive-wheelchair

New in PrusaSlicer: Consistent Surface Finish and Nerfing VFAs on the CORE One and Other Printers!

One of our major focus points over the last two months has been resolving VFA (Vertical Fine Artifacts) on the Prusa CORE One and other printers. I’ve posted several updates throughout the process, and I’m happy to say that with the...

That’s a shame - no way to enable stealth mode remotely. There’s an issue on the #Prusa Github from January 2024, then supposedly it was assigned an internal ticket in March 2025.

I would like to have #HomeAssistant enable it on a schedule or based on a motion detector so we don't have to listen to the rickety Ikea enclosure squeak through dinner. #3DPrinting

The Beast is up and running!

Seizing the means of production means that now I want more printers...

Seriously though, big prints and wanting to print something else in the meantime makes scheduling difficult. A critical path needs to be defined for these projects going forward - or settle on some designs that become a "standard" that can be low key stock piled between projects.

Printing ABS is as much of a pain as everyone says. Needs some research and experimentation. Perhaps justification for another printer. Ha!

A great post from pt of @adafruit following a recent article in which Jo Prusa once again claimed that open source hardware in 3D printing is dead.

Thank you @ptorrone

EufyCam 2C Stand

Simple stand, allowing me to leave my camera around, without risking toppling by animals or wind.

This summer, it's been too hot in the office for me to spend much time in here. I've been working upstairs, where there's air conditioning. But temperatures are finally dropping, and I woke the #Prusa (a MK3S, originally assembled 7 years ago) up from its months-long nap to print something for a relative.

A quick test print shows that it's still calibrated properly. Loaded in some PETG, dropped the .gcode on the SD card, and away we go. Runs like clockwork.

All kinds of education are important. But nothing boosts creativity, imagination, and problem-solving skills like 3D printing. It also deepens your child’s connection with technology and makes learning so much fun! No textbook or even IT tool can do such a...

From Chaos to Order: Organize Your Workshop with a 3D Printer

If you’re a maker, you know the situation: countless ongoing projects that require many components, parts, and tools. You quickly need a pair of pliers, so you open a drawer only to find a chaotic mess, with the tool you're looking...

The latest #prusa blog post about organizing your workshop witha 3d printer had me exclaim „neat!“ no less than three times while reading it. Didn’t know of the model generators they described there - this‘ll be extremely helpful, especially the one for #IKEA #SKADIS boards. https://blog.prusa3d.com/from-chaos-to-order-organize-your-workshop-with-a-3d-printer_119547/ #3dprinting

Wow, all self-tests passed on the first shot. Propers to https://prusa3d.com for excellent clear instructions. Printing my very first 3DBenchy even as I write. #3dprinting #prusa

Looking at maybe upgrading to a new 3D printer at some point in the next year, and as much as I'd love to build a Voron from scratch I'm not sure I'll have the time or the money.

Currently I'm looking at the Sovol SV08 (with the enclosure) and the Prusa Core One.

Does anyone here have any recommendations?

Ah, the "open hardware apocalypse" has finally arrived! Let's all pretend we're shocked that a niche tech fad from 2015 isn't dominating 2025! Meanwhile, Prusa's still at FAB 2025, being the #doomsayer at the party nobody wants to attend.
