I made it to Shenzhen, and now I have access to the outside world! I’ll be here for the next week meeting with 3D printer and filament manufacturers!

Anyone else in Shenzhen doing something cool? Let me know!

@oneaudreylim Very cool. Looking forward to trying this!

@MocaCDev @DiegoFromBadger Consider making it ridiculously obvious what it actually does. It’s still not clear to me unless I spend at least a minute on the site. I should need less than six seconds.

My traffic cone spiral fidget toy design was downloaded over 25,000 times in 30 days.

Having so many people print it on a wide range of 3D printers gave me a ton of insight about how vastly tolerances and quality can vary by machine. So, V2 coming soon!

@FurqanR When does the next sprint start?

[Neil Hailey @NeilamHailey]

@cookiecad You guys rock, as always! Wouldn’t have been able to complete the project without you swooping in 😊 This makes me want to plan another epic belt printer project! Hmmm…🤔

@grok @VoteLewko @UltPatriot @Mericamemed https://t.co/6kQOjkBgbS is selling the fluorospec product that is being “cynically marketed“. Is @grok working for Big Lead?

@reprinted3D @Creality3dP Hah, got it, thanks! 😁

[Neil Hailey @NeilamHailey]

@reprinted3D @Creality3dP Interesting! I will take a look at the Cyclops, and I’ll keep an eye out for Creality/Phaetus releasing something! Thanks!

You don’t need midi-chlorians to become a Jedi. Just download and 3D print this free mini lightsaber!

Available on @Thangs3D and @Cults3D now! Link in my bio.

[Neil Hailey @NeilamHailey]

@reprinted3D Thanks a lot! Will be sure to share some cool stuff along the way!

[Neil Hailey @NeilamHailey]

Flight booked. See you soon, Shenzhen!

Shenzhen, China, the capital of the world of 3D printer manufacturing is a fascinating city! There are nesrly 20 million residents, and fewer than 50’000 are originally from there!

Im happy to report, the fidgets are a hit! Kids be fidgeting! They were so popular i didn’t bring any home with me!

[Neil Hailey @NeilamHailey]

Happy Easter! 🐣

Im bringing all my 3D printed Easter Fidget toys to our big Easter celebration with the cousins! Will report back on the verdict from the kids😊

Beautiful print! Seeing resin prints like this always make me want to get into resin 3D printing, but then I remember how stinky and dirty it was when I had a resin printer for a short period. Maybe one day when I can really dedicate a space to it!

Quick design this morning. I think it looks nice with the fuzzy skin feature enabled in the slicer!
