@GeekyFayeArt The thing I find super annoying is a lot of the time I don't realise they aren't the original creator - I do end up scrolling down to find the credit. They are quite useful for finding people to follow, but I think mostly they're a pox.

Hazards of buying a second hand tradeshow 3d printer - finding all the things which have gotten knackered which need cleaning and/or replacing... 🤦🏼🤦🏼 #3Dprinting #makers #creality

Level of excitement at spotting an Ultimaker and 3 DLP printers in No Time To Die at the cinema yesterday was entirely too high. #3dprintingnerd

@LizBish94 From the threads I've seen in my twitter, prusa is clearly the front runner.

@inconelle I never got to learn matlab but the scars from having to learn C++ never truly heal.

[Robin Dallen @DrDallenAM]

This is ingenious.

If you cry a lot, my Tear-Rings might be perfect for you.

[Robin Dallen @DrDallenAM]

We think we're going to make one of these... I made a huge scarf last year and I've been dying to make them for others since!! #3Dprinting #makers https://t.co/j3t6dsgECp

@GeekyFayeArt @foosel Uh oh. 😕😕

[Robin Dallen @DrDallenAM]

@ceekayell Really?! You certainly don't look a day older than when I last saw you several years ago!

[Robin Dallen @DrDallenAM]

@GeekyFayeArt You are seriously rocking this look.

[Robin Dallen @DrDallenAM]

@CandiceMajewski This thread is joyous.

[Robin Dallen @DrDallenAM]

@sophywong @Fillamentum Whoah. That's EPIC.

[Robin Dallen @DrDallenAM]

@inconelle I hear you. Why can't I wear brightly coloured dungarees and DMs for everything?

[Robin Dallen @DrDallenAM]

Help me out here, twitter people - where do we want to buy our PLA filament from? Preferably not amazon... #3Dprinting #makers #creality

[Robin Dallen @DrDallenAM]

Brilliant idea!

[Robin Dallen @DrDallenAM]

First print not a total failure. Turns out it's a dog. Still got to work out calibration a bit. We're having fun. #3Dprinting #makers #creality

[Robin Dallen @DrDallenAM]

A plus of buying this printer straight from the tradeshow floor is that it comes bundled with whatever they were printing on the stand and we've got no idea what it was... #mystery

[Robin Dallen @DrDallenAM]

The excitement coming off this one reminds me why I fell in love with this technology in the first place. (also him, tbf.) #3Dprinting #makers #technogeek

@CandiceMajewski The conflict between "if you're not well, don't come into work" and "we're worried about the number of sick days you've taken" causes me no end of consternation.

Starting out with a 3D printer appears to be a lot like looking after a baby:
"What does that noise mean?"
"Is it supposed to be making that noise?"
"How do you tell if you've done it right?"
"OH GOD, WHAT IF WE'VE DONE IT WRONG?!"
