Been using Claude to design 3mf files to 3D print and it is astonishingly good. Even with creativity.
I just say "design me a good party favor or prize with the theme of my party" and it not only designs a perfect model - it makes something I would have never thought of.
Working on a new tool that automatically reverse-engineers 3D scans into really good CAD geometry. This example took a good hour, but man, does it look good and clean!
🚨 BREAKING 🚨
ATF Releases NFA guidance in response to the Texas NFA lawsuit:
"Effective October 9, 2026, ATF will no longer require individuals to seek ATF approval under the NFA before making or transferring short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, silencers, and “any other weapon[s]” as defined in 26 U.S.C. § 5845(e). ATF will also no longer require such items to be registered in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record. These policies apply uniformly to anyone otherwise subject to these requirements, not just to the plaintiffs in the litigation."
So, I recently did a thing that I have been working on for a while. I published a book!
We are always being asked "What type of laser do you have?" Or "How can I do that?" When folks see the things we make.
So, this book is the first in a series for folks who want to learn about lasers and laser engraving. I wrote it in my no BS style. No fluff, no shilling, just facts. This first one is for folks who havent purchased a laser engraver yet and need some help to figure out where to start.
The next books in the series will be more indepth on how the lasers actually work, how you can make money with said lasers, and then more advanced techniques like bending lasers with your mind 😉.
I started writing this one last September thinking "I'll totally have it published by newyears". So, I would like to think the next book will come out in Jan, but we will see what life throws at us in the meantime.
Just wanted to share this with y'all, hope y'all are having a great week!
@3DPrintGeneral No good deed goes unpunished. I hate YouTube and Lawyers. I started 3D printing in 2019-2020. I learned a lot from your videos and BOOK.
