- It brings me so much joy when someone prints one of my models
- I'm pretty bullish these days about chopping bits off models I don't need.

- It would be nice. I was thinking about this the other day. With all the complexities the newest printers have, it might be unlikely. All the proprietary multi-nozzle stuff, etc. Could be wrong. Selecting printer profiles could be enough to generate the gcode needed.
- Another unedited timelapse. This pistachio bowl design is beautiful. Light reflections flicker in the early layers — just the change in print line direction catching the light differently. Inner part and model links below 👇 #3DPrinting #BambuLab

- That’s awesome. I genuinely use it every week. Wine, cheese & crackers and pistachios! :)
- Tempted to get new cutters and print this, and hide them in a drawer! I have old ones hanging on my skadis board and someone is always stealing them to cut tags of clothes!
- 🛠️ Side‑cutters, meet your perfect home. This #Gridfinity insert by akuy holds them securely and looks clean doing it. makerworld.com/en/models/49...
- I think I'll print more and fill this one full of filament... 🤔
- Printed a batch of Skadis filament brackets to get my spools off the desk and onto the wall 🎯 Still can’t nail lighting for white PLA though… #IKEA #3DPrinting #BambuLab

- By jetpad on MakerWorld: makerworld.com/en/models/55... Loving how practical this print is.
- Tried getting really close for this timelapse of a simple photo booth. White PLA reflected way more light than expected, so it’s a bit overexposed 🔆 #3DPrinting #BambuLab
- By panda_love on MakerWorld: makerworld.com/en/models/15... Next time, I might dim my lights or tweak exposure settings.
- Inner bowl:
- By LeBuhmi on MakerWorld: makerworld.com/en/models/11... Beautiful print — I actually use this bowl weekly!
- Forgot to disable the printer’s onboard light 😅 Automation is nice and all that... until it ruins your lighting setup! Still, a clean print of the Gridfinity Zip Lock box. Came out nice. Welcome addition to the drawer. Lid and model link 👇 #Gridfinity #3DPrinting #BambuLab
- ... and the lid:

- A good timelapse this time for an Elgato Key Light Mini Gridfinity bin. Visible shrinkage lines though, and interesting lighting shifts when the top layers closed off the interior. #Gridfinity #3DPrinting #BambuLab
- Might need to reposition my lights next round. Was interesting seeing the light changes, though - didn't expect that. Rubenayala on MakerWorld makerworld.com/en/models/17...
- Quick release plate for my DSLR tripod. You’ll see those “flashing” bands again — light bouncing differently off alternating layer directions. Hard to fix without compromising strength, but it’s a small tradeoff for a solid part. #3DPrinting #BambuLab

- Needed a quick shoe horn for my son’s football boots ⚽ Lovely print, but I should’ve shot it vertically — my A1 Mini’s rising print head pushes the object up out of frame. Still got so much to learn! 😅 #3DPrinting #BambuLab

- Here’s how it turned out: youtube.com/shorts/E9oOU...
- Unedited timelapse: Chunky latch for my Gridfinity pred cases. Focus was slightly off again (and lighting too 😅). Every print I'm a step closer to mastering the focus and lighting. But the model? Super satisfying click! Download model 👇 #Gridfinity #3DPrinting #BambuLab
- Design by Mendicant on MakerWorld: makerworld.com/en/models/18...
- Here’s the latch in action: www.youtube.com/shorts/TRLi5...
- Unedited timelapse. Testing a thicker nozzle on this 1x1 bin. Trying to reduce print time without losing quality. Chasing the sweet spot between speed and detail. The difference in surface texture is subtle, but it's there. #Gridfinity #3DPrinting #BambuLab
- Unedited timelapse. Tried a macro lens on this Gridfinity 1x1 square print. Focusing on something that doesn’t exist yet was trickier than expected 😅 Still, it’s wild how satisfying these tiny prints look up close. #Gridfinity #3DPrinting #BambuLab

- Wow, I want one! I really must adopt a one-in one-out policy for my printer collection now, though... 😅
- Nice idea for adding mouse ears in Bambu Studio: forum.bambulab.com/t/customizab... For anyone unaware, this is excellent for bed adhesion. They help greatly to stop the corners of #gridfinity bins from lifting and warping.
- Sorry folks - just noticed I broke the 'download stl' button on the site when swapping a link to MakerWorld. Issue is fixed. If you tried to download something before and got a 404, please try again.
- I'm starting to share my models on MakerWorld. This time: simple little #gridfinity bin for 2x SanDisk drives: makerworld.com/en/models/18...
- Achieved my 2025 goal of reaching 1,000 subscribers! Grateful to everyone. Very much enjoying the journey. www.youtube.com/@hotgun3d
- Needing to take some good photographs. Planning to print this photo backdrop model: makerworld.com/en/models/15... Has anyone printed this one before, or would recommend another?

- Ah interesting. That's a good idea. Particularly with white, I often see the infill when shining a light. Nice tip!
- [Not loaded yet]
- I'll give this a go! Although, not sure I have enough white filament atm
- I printed a bunch of these spool holders for the IKEA SKADIS peg boards over the weekend. Time to organise my filament. Well, time to randomly throw them on a wall, but... that's still progress, right? makerworld.com/en/models/55...
- This was quite a nice timelapse... but I still need to tweak a few things. I thought using a concentric pattern would result in less "flicker" at the beginning - but no. Still work to do.

- Exactly. It’s almost like I’m more interested in the content… 🤣
- One thing I'm trying to improve in my timelapses is how the light bounces off differently orientated layer lines. The "flashing" at the start of this one is a perfect example. Check the individual frames 👇

- Will be trying both of these with my next print, rotating the printer too. Not sure if they will help - but it’s certainly worth a try!

- Had to Google it. TIL :)
- This is the first and the second frame of the timelapse which shows the direction of the layer lines. How the light catches these lines is causing the difference.
- I've been asked so many times for the #gridfinity pen lid model. I have tweaks I want to make, but I don't have a lot of time at the moment - so I've decided to upload it anyways if you'd like it: makerworld.com/en/models/18...
- My son has been struggling to get his tight football boots on and off:
- I was tired of digging through pen bin, so I created a #gridfinity pen lid! Golds 6 pens on the top of a 2x3 bin for storage underneath. You can get the model, and learn more about the design iterations, what I'll be tweaking next, and things here 👇
- Working on so many projects just now and I needed to use an old tripod. But... none of my quick release plates fit! 🤯 Oh, not to worry... we have 3d printers! 🤣 💪

- Thanks Rob. I also just posted this, which you might also find interesting. Quite obsessed with this at the moment: youtube.com/shorts/59Ac_...
- My little YouTube channel has 888 subscribers. Very satisfying number, and very grateful for everyone! 👋
