Started as a weird experiment with TPU mesh and oversized darts… Ended up becoming a fully modular backyard game 😄 MeshStrike uses a flexible perforated target surface combined with customizable scoring tiles that can be repositioned anywhere on the board. Honestly, one of the most fun prototype projects I’ve worked on in a long time. The biggest challenge was balancing: dart penetration mesh flexibility target tension portability …and somehow making all of it survive repeated hits 😄 Another major part of the project was optimizing large sections for 0.8 mm nozzle printing. It massively improved rigidity, durability, and print speed for the mesh and tension frame parts. The best part is that there are no fixed rules. You can completely customize the game however you want. Huge thanks to everyone checking out the project 🎯 #Newmodel #Sharing Makes #Contests

Cowduction Wind Spinner Started as “a simple UFO wind spinner idea.” A few days later I was testing airflow, balancing rotors, designing spiral tractor beams, fighting transparent PETG, and emotionally negotiating with a tiny abducted cow. 👽🐄 Cowduction Wind Spinner became one of the most fun projects I’ve ever worked on. The goal was to create something that feels alive even in light wind: smooth spinning floating beam illusion suspended cow slowly abducted inside the tractor beam The beam section went through MANY failed experiments before reaching a printable version that still looked lightweight and open enough to see the cow inside. One important note: The beam rods should be printed in PETG and in the provided orientation. Changing the orientation may weaken them and cause breakage. And finally… Please be nice to the cow. It did not consent to intergalactic transportation. 😄 #Windspinner #Contests #Newmodel #Sharing Makes

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms out there 🌸 This project started as a small experiment: “Can I recreate the delicate feeling of real quilling art using 3D printing?” Somewhere along the way, it slowly evolved into a modular quilling card system with layered flowers, leaves and interchangeable decorative pieces. One of my favorite parts was seeing people mistake it for real paper quilling at first glance 😄 https://makerworld.com/en/models/2782996-quilling-cards-3d-printed-mother-s-day-edition#profileId-3093335 #Newmodel #Weekly Roundup #Sharing Makes #Mothersday I can’t wait to see the flower and color combinations you create to reflect your own mother 🌿

Hedgehog - From Waste to Wild 🦔 I’ve been thinking about print waste for a while. Not how to recycle it, melt it, or turn it back into filament, but how to use it as it is. Purge lines, failed prints, supports… they already have form, color, and texture. It felt wrong to destroy that and start over. So, the idea became simple: what if the waste itself becomes part of the object? That’s where the hedgehog came from. The challenging part was figuring out how to hold everything together. I needed something that could keep all the scraps inside, stay flexible, allow pens to go through, and still hold them in place. That’s where TPU came in. I started experimenting with a mesh structure, inspired a bit by those protective bottle sleeves and net bags. But getting the mesh right was surprisingly difficult. Too tight, and it wouldn’t flex. Too loose, and everything collapsed. The wrong shape, and it turned into a pouch instead of a dome. Even stretching the mesh evenly across the body became its own challenge. It took quite a few iterations to get something that actually works. In the end, the result is simple: A flexible TPU mesh filled with print waste, forming a soft structure that holds pens like spines. A hedgehog that eats your filament waste. I also tried something new on this project ,I used a trained AI to create the assembly guide for the first time. It’s not perfect, but it’s a good starting point. Curious what you think especially about using waste in its raw form instead of reprocessing it. #Contests #Newmodel #Sharing Makes #Filamentrecycling

#Bonsai The Story Behind “The Story of Bonsai” This project didn’t start as a bonsai. At the beginning, it was just a simple stage idea. I wanted to create something with light, something calm, something minimal. But getting that light right turned out to be much harder than expected. Early versions had hotspots, uneven glow, and didn’t feel natural at all. It took multiple iterations to finally reach a soft, balanced diffusion across the wooden panels. At that point, the stage felt complete but also empty. That’s when the bonsai came in. And that brought a completely new challenge. I tried PLA first, but it didn’t behave the way I needed. The branches felt too stiff, the leaves didn’t flow, and it never looked like a willow. Switching to TPU changed everything. It allowed the foliage to hang, bend, and move in a way that finally felt natural. But it also made the process slower and more demanding. In the end, the tree became something you don’t really assemble you shape it. Each version turns out a little different, depending on how much you add, remove, or adjust. The base also evolved beyond just lighting. I added 16 engraved tiles that tell the story of bonsai through time, turning the whole piece into something more than a display. It became a combination of light, material, and narrative. Somewhere along the way, this project became more personal than I expected. 3D printing started as a hobby, but it slowly turned into something that helped me deal with things I couldn’t really control otherwise. On difficult days, being able to focus on making something, even something small made things a bit more manageable. Not in a dramatic way. Just… enough. This project is a part of that process. There’s still a lot that could be improved, especially around materials and filament options, but I’m really happy with how it turned out. Curious to hear what you think 🌿#Contests(Edited)

Spring is here 🌼 Curious what you’d fill it with real soil, kinetic sand… or full-on 3D printing poop? :D #Contests #Sharing Makes #Newmodel(Edited)

BOOK WORMS is an animated book nook designed to live between real books on your shelf. Inside, a scrolling text moves slowly from front to back, inspired by classic cinematic opening crawls and the feeling of getting lost in a story. Motion is driven by a worm-gear mechanism, which provides smooth and cool scrolling effect. The model is fully modular and designed for 3D printing. Most parts are snap fit, no glue is required, and the full assembly process is documented step by step.

Who said childhood dreams can’t be 3D printed? When I was a child, I always dreamed of owning a jewelry music box with a ballerina inside. But due to financial struggles, I could never have one. I never imagined that one day I would design and print it myself – yet here it is.

No Ams. just meme and reaction to sh*tty life :) enjoy

Description I think this has unexpectedly become one of the most fun projects I’ve worked on so far. Every iteration helped me improve and discover something new and that’s an incredible feeling. Right now, this tool feels less like an emergency blade and more like a fidget toy I can’t put down. After you print, you'll tell same and start to use this as fidget. A little dangerous fidget :D ⚠ Warning! ⚠ The Bambu Lab filament cutter blade is very sharp. Please be cautious during assembly. ⚠ Always attach the protective cap before inserting the blade. #Newmodel #Sharing Makes(Edited)
