Creator Critter

First print with TPU complete. 95A with 7 walls and 90% infill. Maybe a bit overkill. 🤷🏻‍♂️ These are prototypes/test prints to see how the hold up and if they’ll be a permanent solution. But they seem hella solid and should fix the exhaust pipe resting against the boot of the rear cv axel. 🤌🏼 Also featured is the next thing to replace with something printed at home.

Trying something out to see if it’ll work and hopefully it looks good to put on Essence. Fingers crossed. 🤞🏼

Some retractable “whip extending” katanas I made for a buddy. The solid color one was printed on my old Creality. The red-white-black one was printed on my new machine in multiple parts and included some multi-color printing. Still working on some calibration to improve quality but the new Kobra has been pretty good out of the box with minimal tinkering.

From the V3SE to the Kobra S1. Merry Christmas to me. One of my side quests I hope to do better at this next year is going to be 3D printing. I loved my little Creality but I haven’t been able to figure it out in a while. Need to get it printing before I decide what to do with it, but I couldn’t pass up Anycubic’s sale to try something different. Excited to see where this one takes me. First experience with one of these fancy new machines.

Huzzah for the victor! 🛡️⚔️

Beautiful horses, tough knights, and great entertainment at World Tournament of Champions Jousting! One of these shots in particular was an instant favorite. Can’t wait to go back for the closing weekend to experience some Infinite Realms!

The creativeness of my amazing partner never ceases to amaze me. Her masquerade outfit featuring a lovely mask by she calls “Renaissance Bug Maiden” out at a beautiful day at

One of those shots I knew I needed to post right away which I captured . describes in his shows the reason why whips make their signature cracking sound. But the visual aspect of the whip creating the sound wave is rarely casually caught on camera. Even more impressive is the dual fire whip trick which he has mastered… nay PERFECTED I captured in the same burst.

It’s always so much fun seeing Jacques’ shows at WA Midsummer Ren Faire!

I hope everyone had a happy 4th of July. Enjoyed taking some of these of the family and festivities last night.

With the printer down for a little bit. I’m going to focus a little bit on the photography and uploading some stuff I’ve been needing to add to the portfolio.

I thought I should make a pinned post for my color choices for you all who want prints from me. There are a lot more examples of how these filaments come out on my profile but here is a one stop shop of the rolls I currently have on hand and a few examples of how they look in final print form. Current color choices are…

Basic options:
Red (velociraptor whistles)
Orange [Matte finish]
Yellow (Bert & Ernie)
Green (sort of like a lime green)
Blue (Squidward bank)
Green/Purple [Matte finish] (see nail magnets post)

Silk/shiny options:
Silver (Vash cosplay revolver & Marshall Lee Guitar)
Rainbow
Black/Blue/Purple shift
Red/Yellow/Blue shift
Red/Gold/Purple shift
Red/Blue/Green shift
“Firefly” glowy [glowing specs inside black base]

Happy printing!

Learning through this process that not everything should be printed in PLA 😂 One drop and the thing shattered. 😬 BUT, I finally have the design finalized for my iPhone 15 Pro (and similarly sized phones) case that will work with MagSafe. And it will be pretty easy to modify for any other designs anyone wants for the case. Just have to start playing around with the printing material I should use, which is also harder to perfect. 😅🤷🏻‍♂️

Also, another Velociraptor Death Whistle printed for a family members who saw my other one and wanted me to do another one! These things are so cool.
