#Lulzbot
The Lulzbot has the best sounding startup sequence of any 3d printer. Yes it's insanely loud by modern standards but there's a nostalgic industrial way it sounds that's super scifi

People still ask me if I 3d print stuff and it's like yeah.

But I haven't really kept up or gotten anything new. We run an old Lulzbot mini and a prusa mk2.5s

I know there's better out there but I print for utility rather than art so it does what I want. I mostly print to solve problems.

Does your toilet seat block your light's motion sensor? Mine does...did. I 3D printed a base for a bathroom light to raise the motion sensor above the toilet seat.

A toilet paper roll would have worked too but I wouldn't be much of an artist if I did that? #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dprinting #practical

Seams right. Resorting to the old baking soda and super glue trick on the seams in the spine of the 3D printed shikoro (neck guard). Adds strength while filling in the gaps. #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dartist #yoroi #armor

Not sticking around. Trying my hand at smoothing 3D printed layer lines with acrylic modeling paste. Fills in lines and sands nicely but doesn't seem to stick to the PLA too well. #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dprinted #yoroi #3dartist

3D printed this part in grey at a .01 layer height on a Lulzbot Workhorse to see how that affects the layer lines. Some blobs but pretty good otherwise.

The original, in black, was printed at a .25 layer height. The original was 1:1 and the test piece at 1:2. Both 3D printed in 3D Fuel Pro PLA +.

We had a fairly early lulzbot 3d printer and now watching our current one its so incredible. Like it’s so much faster and accounts for and calibrates to the vibrations it makes while printing it’s completely insane and so much fun to watch while a lil high

Rough spot. Ironing some hanging filament on the inside of the Raijin hachi (helmet crown). #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dprinting #kabuto #yoroi

A bit of a problem? Not sure if I need a sharper drill bit or a different drill bit, but all of the Odoshi (lacing) holes needed some clean up. Not difficult but, a it takes a bit of time to clean up a few hundred holes. #lulzbot #3dfuel ##yoroi #kabuto #art

Becoming Iron Man. I'm pretty good at using an iron to clean up 3D printed edges but I still need to figure out my ideal temperature for flat areas. Oh well, even Tony Stark had a learning curve to becoming Iron Man. #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dprinted #liveandlearn #yoroi

Buying 3D printers online is great, everyone should do it!

I need reinforcements. Adding internal ribs to the hachi (crown of the helmet) using a 3D print pen to increase the rigidity of the 3D printed part. #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dprinting #yoroi #samurai

Feels great to revive my Lulzbot Mini after accidentally frying the auto-leveling circuit on the stock motherboard, and all for under $50! Quieter operation with a BIGTREETECH SKR board, using a custom hot-end adapter for the E3D titan + volcano so now takes 1.75mm

That moment you realize you might have to resize all those holes to accommodate the buildup from paint. #lulzbot #3dfuel #armor #3dprinted #samurai

I 3D printed one of my favorite party tricks. #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dprinting #stem #science

and that's the part cooling duct done, with heavy inspiration from the Lulzbot M175

learned some new Blender tech with it too

will be kind of a pain to print because LPT001's bridging is a bit ass but it's doable i think, if not i'll split it in half or add some internal supports
March 31, 2026 at 5:34 PM
the duct itself, for those curious, will probably be something similar to some Lulzbot printers

just black instead of neon green

Or white, or clear

also considered bright orange but that'd clash with the blue accents of the 4max enclosure

Can you spot the difference?

This was supposed to ba a quick 3D print project while I deal with the side effects from a new medication. But I decided I wasn't satisfied with my old Reuleaux Tetrahedron files. 4 versions later....notice the change? #lulzbot #3dfuel #3ddesign #stem #3dprinting

I have a handmedown Lulzbot Mini that I am sprucing up the hotend on. Lulzbot is cool and has all their old FreeCAD files available publicly so I just had to make a few tweaks. I mainly refitted the filament path for a 1.75mm extruder and added a bigger heat-sink fan duct.

What is this?

If you were thinking Reuleaux Tetrahedron you're correct. IRL they're shaped like a pyramid but roll like a ball.

1 state change and 3 moves later, I can't find the Reuleaux tetrahedrons I 3D printed so I'm printing up some new ones. #lulzbot #3dfuel #stem #illusion #science

Not on anything decent after 2017. Prusa i3 MK3 has no threaded rod. Creality, Sovol, Sunlu, Tevo, etc all used extrusion frames for their i3s. MendelMax, Lulzbot, etc went extrusion very early on. Threaded rod Mendel's have way too much side to side movement.

Keepin' it together. My technique for welding 3D printed PLA parts? First, bevel the edges then, use a 3D pen to lay down a bead of PLA. Match the 3D printer's temperature and move slowly. #lulzbot #3dfuel #3dprinting #cosplay #sentai
