Maybe Cotty got one already thats on 1:30 scale?
The steps to prevent the chickens from slipping down the ramp into the barn have gradually become loose. Now they are weatherproof (and easy to see, safety first!)…

Small redesign of some caravan hooks.
I noticed how much the quality from back then has improved with my third generation printer (left: first printer back then; right: draft quality of the current printer; same filament).
New hooks…

How old is the first printer?
I bought it in 2019, I put the last one (3rd) into operation a few weeks ago.
What is your latest printer?

Our robotics team got one of those a few months ago. It’s excellent.

Fixing things with 3DP is a great buzz- It’s great that you show your work here. I got an Ender 3v2 recently. Working great now that I’ve found the right settings for it. Took a while but it’s going well so far.

I’m thinking once again on getting a 3D printer myself. Joining a makerspace never really worked for me.

This thread is brilliant…so ingenious. Little projects for home D.I.Y…If I have time I will buy a printer and start doing something similar with my daughters.
I wish they would do projects like this in school

For a long time, a wooden divider brought some order, but only the new individually removable boxes are really the solution…

It has been shown that the adhesive surface is not sufficient for the weight in the long term when exposed to temperature changes and vibrations. Now they stand securely on the floor of the cupboard compartment again…

So many great things! Your new printer is an impressive one, did you get the automatic filament switching? What material are you printing in these days? PLA, PLA+, PETG?

Yes, with AMS ( Automatic Material System)!
I mostly print with PETG, then with PLA, rarely with TPU. I would also like to try out more advanced materials, but for the vast majority of applications the standard materials are more than sufficient, so I shy away from the extra cost of, for example, glass or carbon fiber reinforced filaments.
Even though the automatic material change is impressive, what excites me the most is the degree of automation that has now been achieved in printing (leveling, nozzle cleaning, …). You click print and practically only have to look again when the print is complete. I probably had more trouble printing with my first inkjet printer back then.

The remote control in the caravan was previously lying around loose in some compartment, now it has a dedicated place.

The lid of the gas bottle used to fly back and forth in the gas bunk and was always in the way. Now it has a fixed place, no longer gets in the way and no longer has to be searched for when needed.

A wheel on our surfboard trolley has burst, luckily I still have a wheel from another vehicle. Of course, it has a different diameter for the axle. Thanks to the quickly printed adapter, I can still use the trolley.
