It was a pair of STL's that I had to adapt slightly to work together. I liked the stem from one but not the petals, and I like the petals from another but they didn't have a provision for any kind of lighting. I punched a hole through for some either fiber or small LED's in the petal assembly...

Christmas prezzie for the Mrs. She loves roses but they always die. So I made her one that won't. Roughs after printing using elegoo transparents. Finished. Lots of hand wet/dry sanding to 3000 grit, then a clear resin topcoat to restore the transparency. The petals also had a bit of shimmer...

Epic experiment. If you decide to try this again later, You could use translucent vinyl to cover them. Same colored effect, and less ink rubbing off. You can also shoot them with an acrylic poly clearcoat to lock in the ink as well.

This one was annoying to print. The walls are very thin and it failed a couple of times. The original flame model walls were about the thickness of tissue paper and I had to correct that. Colored using alcohol inks after printing and curing. The light is a 3mm flicker LED powered by a 9v...

I made my first "practical" thing today. I keep misplacing my spot UV flashlight and have to go hunting for where I took it out of my pocket the last time. So, I whipped up a little clip to give it a home on one of the legs of my art supply shelf. After some filing, it's exactly what I wanted...

Elegoo clear red standard resin. Then sanded to 1500 and clear epoxy. It's just a hair under 5" tall.

Curing isn't all that much additional time. 2-3 minutes is all that's needed. I get what you're saying there though, one less step to monkey with. Do you have to wash FDM prints when they finish?

Thanks. Resolution/quality issues aside, how long would a filament printer take to run a piece that size? (10cmx8cmx4.5cm)? This took 8,5 hours on the resin printer. My instinct is that the filament printer would be faster?

Ran this for the Mrs. overnight.

That's the one drawback I can see. I have this funny feeling I'm going to end up with an FDM printer with a larger bed too. Why dip a toe in the water when you can jump in headfirst with no life jacket?

Some components of a sign I'm working on. Originally designed this to be cut in vinyl, so I had to export them from the sign cutter software, import them into illustrator, convert them to svg, then model them in tinkercad. Then export those models so I could set them up in lychee and print them...

Hello, world. A conversation about 3D printing on another forum led me here and I figured I'd say hello. Career linux nerd, amateur artist, and professional curmudgeon. My boys gifted me an SLA printer setup for father's day and I'm playing with it while also figuring out lychee, tinkercad, and...
