Anyone have a source for a company that can make custom paper faced labels to go inside a guitar. I've been printing them with a laser printer for years, cutting them out, and gluing in. I'd like something that looks better and is adhesive backed to sign, date, and stick inside guitar. Thanks

I'm just not using this printer so making some space for other tooling. This is an Anycubic Photon M3 Premium 8K resin printer. The resolution on this thing is amazing. The Wash & Cure Plus is super simple and helps to wash/cure your resin prints when done. Will also include the 1.5 bottles of resin I have left over. Both for $500. Local pickup only. I'm about 45 minutes east of Cleveland, OH. Posting here for the guitar geeks before put…

We hear a lot in LoothLand these days about 3D printing. I think it's an awesome use of that technology for what we all do. With my long history with AutoCad and 3D rendering in my previous life, I should pull the trigger on a 3D printer, but I'm just not ready yet AND I have no available space for one in my little shop or in my office right now. Yes, 3D printing is great, but sometimes, good ole regular printing can be a surprise frien…

Hey all!! First time caller here I just received the creality printer i ordered and while im enjoying printing some cool designs off, im trying to find the best, but simple and affordable software to use to create my own designs. What is every one using?

I used to run a cnc punch press at a machine shop. It was a Trumpf. For some reason the brand just showed up on my Instagram and I checked it out. Apparently they make printers that print metal powder. @member are you ready for the next level? Might be interesting for custom hardware. https://www.trumpf.com/en_INT/products/machines-systems/additive-production-systems/truprint-1000/

Bambu just dropped the price of the A1 Mini to $249! Now, I don’t have experience with this exact printer (I own a Bambu P1S) but there’s been a lot of hype about this entry level machine, and I’ve had a great experience with the brand. Figured I’d share! https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/a1-mini

Currently considering getting a Phrozen Sonic Mighty for doing some small parts manufacture and was wondering if any of y'all looths are doing any resin printing currently. I'm looking for any tips, tricks, or advice before jumping in. Are there better printers i should be considering? Is there anything I should just full on avoid? How have y'alls resin printing experiences been?

This is a rehash of the amazing Loothprint that Mike (@member@member@member) shared to the group (Surface Inspection Light – The Looth Group). I don't have a 3D printer so had to take a low(er) tech approach. The pics should be self explanatory. I have linked to a DXF and CRV (Vectric VCarve) file in case it helps. I do most simple tooling in Aspire as I can move more quickly there than in Fusion. Components needed: .75" Baltic birch ply Flash…

Morning, Just wanted to start a discussion and hear from others their experiences and preferences when it comes to choosing a 3d printer. I'm quite new to 3d printing and had an interesting journey to get started. Currently, I am running 3 printers: Ender 3 Pro, Ender 3 V2, and an FLSUN Q5. My shining star of the bunch is the Ender 3 V2 when it comes to print quality and speed, but the Pro has been an absolute tank since I properly set up…

Got my new printer a few weeks ago, and I have been loving life in 3D. I have made a bunch of cauls and tools in preparation for my next builds. On all the prints the first layers were a little fuzzy, so I did some research and adjusted the z offset. Got my first layers in the pocket. But that caused some horrible problems. Now I can’t even finish a print. First layer is fine. Second layer is hairy and fuzzy. Seems like the nozzle is dr…
