I know this place has really gotten quiet lately, but, was curious as to how many have a 3D printer and favorite STL files or gcode they would share. I just got an Ender3 and have been trying to get it tweaked. Doesn't help it arrived with a bad main board so I had to immediately upgrade the board and stepper drivers. But, slowly getting it fine tuned and printing. Slow process since prints are slow. I think my quickest print is a Zero Fucks coin at just over a half hour. Currently have a carabiner printing to see how strong it is. In glow in the dark PLA, of course.
Thingiverse has a bunch of different Animorphs alien figurines on it that I'd print out if I could ever justify a 3D printer. Thingiverse has a ton of stuff from all kinds of movies and video games I'd print, really

One of the guys at w-rk has a 3d printer. He prints up parts organizers for his toolbox, usually nice and square not too hard to do the layout on. I want one myself but still paying down the appliances over here.
I've finally started getting decent prints. HAd to replace the main board twice and the extruder tubing once. Now, it's just tweaking the settings. Finally burned through a full 2.2 lb roll of filament last night. First one since I got the machine in November. Been playing with paperweights, earbud holders and such.
Q-the Animorphs looks like it would be best done on a dual extruder model, which I haven't upgraded to, yet, since it is multicolor. EDB- the little organizers are pretty cool. Been playing around with the occasional one to check my settings. Tried a small sanding block, but the threads didn't come out perfect so it won't screw together.
I'll have to get some pics and upload them later. Made a few things for some pagan friends, little wall hangings with runic sigils and such.

Yeah I was just going to say. Pics or it didn't happen! And good suggestions.. I'm going to stop browsing now for I don't start pricing out 3d printers.

I bought an Ender 3 Pro...NEVER do business with Creality directly, it's the freaking worst. Mine came with a faulty part, one of the base 'legs' was not drilled correctly causing parts to interfere with the bed.
That was 6 weeks ago that I filed a complaint/asking for help from them. Nothing.
