I've updated the color mixer page https://jetpad.github.io/color-mixer/ for https://makerworld.com/en/models/460079-multi-color-filament-mixer It now has a "Share Recipe" button that creates a small image showing the input filament colors and the mixed color. The image can be shared to show how you came up with the new filament color.

Maker World user @Vobi has created https://jetpad.github.io/color-mixer/ for visualizing how filament will mix together when you are creating custom filaments with https://makerworld.com/en/models/460079-multi-color-filament-mixer Check it out!(Edited)

What's new about this Flexigrid besides the large size is that I've put a different Space Invader character on each face of the fidget including the top and bottom. That required it to be a 10x10x10 "pixels" in size. The walls are made of double thickness 0.6 mm line widths so it's fairly tough. It also has a lot of color changes between the black background and the invader color but since it is just two colors, it prints with little waste on the H2 series of printers.

Meet the Micro Santa Fidget—a pocket-sized version of my Santa Flexigrid, designed for 0.2 mm nozzles. I ended up printing two test versions. ❄️ The first one where Santa ended up… blue. Whoops! (Turns out he really lives at the North Pole.). Tried again and (22 hrs later) picked the right colors.(Edited)

These are reengineered Flexigrids designed specifically for 0.2 mm nozzles. Every feature is scaled to half size in each dimension, resulting in a tiny but surprisingly strong fidget that still slides and shifts like the originals.

I've added a 4x4 Stripeshift model. It's a little smaller and prints twice as fast.

My latest bowl features Christmas trees on the inside and outside of the bowl. It can be printed in 2 to 5 colors and still looks good in the 2 color version.

Here's my first multi-color print on my H2C. It came out as expected with no issues in notabily faster time.

Just finished a large bowl design that features a woodcut-style 🦓 in the interior. It carries the 🦓 pattern right to the lip and even repeats on the bottom. I was able to get a lot of great crisp detail in this one.

SNES-inspired Flexigrid fidget toy!

🎅 Santa in sliding pixel style!

Here’s a #Newmodel where I experimented with a few ideas. I began by writing some custom OpenSCAD code to design interlocking tile patterns. Starting with an “M” tile, I sized it so the shape of the M is clearly visible but still blends into the overall pattern. Next, I transformed the tile pattern into a bowl and chose to keep the edge jagged rather than smoothing it out. The original tile design used two colors, but instead of printing with multiple filaments, I replaced the colors with an infill pattern. By removing the top and bottom layers and using a crosshatch infill, the effect worked well when viewed from both above and the sides. I had previously printed a similar-sized bowl using colored tiles, which took over a day to finish. Using infill to “color” the tiles this time greatly reduced both print time and filament waste.

@dougclutch suggested I make a version of my Skadis Snap-Lock Clip for the 3M Command Strips and they turned out great. They're very handy for hanging up all sorts of things. #Newmodel

I made a small change to the system I created so I didn't have to take the glass off my H2D every time I wanted to print TPU. It now includes a little clip to hold the end of the loose PTFE tube.

My daughter needed something like a zip tie for a cosplay helmet but it needed to be stronger and removable. A ball bungee cord would work but all the ones I had were too big. I basically needed a small size ball bungee connector so here's what I came with. It's configurable to any size and strength with the customizer if one of the default sizes doesn't fit your needs. #Newmodel

Here's some #Bambumerch that I made a while back. It's my favorite to drink coffee.

I've just released a tool I've used on several of my models that converts a single color model into a model that looks like it was printed with gradient filament but it just uses regular filament. Now you can use it on your own models. #Newmodel(Edited)

Here are a few more coaster designs I created, inspired by a research paper from Miki Imura on a unique type of non-periodic tiling that produces beautiful, complex patterns. #Newmodel
