The Weekly Build - Issue 5The Weekly BuildVolume #1, Issue #5By: BuiltByDesignSummaryWelcome modelers, printers, designers, and more! Welcome back to another issue of "The Weekly Build"! First off, I want to say thank you to everyone who continues reading these newsletters and supporting my projects. It really means a lot and helps keep this going. This week we’ll be looking at the top trending searches, a trending community make, my current and future model plans, and a quick follower update. Also, I want to include an important notice about next week, so please read that section. Let’s get started!🚨 Important Notice 🚨I just wanted to let everyone know ahead of time that there will probably not be an issue next week. Thank you for understanding! I’ll try to be back as soon as possible with more updates for The Weekly Build.Follower UpdateI also want to give a quick shoutout to my current followers!Marble Run Creatoruser_1501879141AcaciaPrintsDawood AlbaqsamiStefan13user_1216566783 (newest follower!)Thank you all for the support! It’s awesome seeing more people follow along and check out my work. Every follower really helps motivate me to keep designing and improving.Top Trending SearchesOne thing I always like checking is what people are currently searching for on MakerWorld. It’s a great way to see what kinds of models are popular right now.Here are the top trending searches:ToyFathers DayWorld CupClickerOffice Desk Organizer Some categories stay consistent, like toys and clickers, while others come and go depending on the time of year. For example, Fathers Day is trending right now because people are looking for gift ideas and quick prints. Office desk organizers also stay pretty popular because they’re useful in everyday setups.And of course, clickers are still going strong because they’re fun, simple, and satisfying to print and use.Trending Community MakeOne of the trending community makes this week is the No-Slip Bed Sheet Lock.This model is a simple but really useful design that helps keep fitted sheets from slipping off the mattress. It’s one of those prints that solves a real everyday problem, which is probably why it’s getting so much attention.All it needs to work: — just a few simple parts that clip in place and do their job well.If you want to check it out, here’s the link:https://makerworld.com/en/models/2919927-no-slip-bed-sheet-lock#profileId-3267048 Future Model PlansI’m still working on AMS-compatible trail signs, along with non-AMS versions as well. I think both versions give different options depending on what people want to print.I also plan on continuing to design more general models, but I’m still not fully sure what my next big project will be yet. I have a few ideas floating around, but nothing fully decided.Sometimes the best ideas come later, so I’m going to keep experimenting and see what I come up with.Community ThoughtsOne thing I really like about MakerWorld is how there’s always a mix of fun and useful models being shared.Some people focus on practical prints like organizers and tools, while others create fun designs like toys, fidgets, and creative gadgets. It’s cool to see both sides of the community growing at the same time.There’s always something new popping up every week, and that’s what keeps it interesting.Closing ThoughtsThank you for reading Issue #5 of The Weekly Build!Sorry again in advance if there is no issue next week — I’ll be back as soon as I can.I appreciate everyone who takes the time to read, follow, and support my projects. It really means a lot.See you soon for Volume #2, Issue #1!

The Weekly Build - Issue 4The Weekly BuildVolume #1, Issue #4By: BuiltByDesignSummaryHappy Monday ☀️! Welcome to “The Weekly Build”!First off, sorry for the late issue this week! Things have been a little busy, but I still wanted to make sure I got another issue out. Thank you to everyone who continues to read these newsletters and support my MakerWorld journey. It has been really cool seeing people enjoy these articles each week.This week we'll be taking a look at the current top trending searches, a trending community make, my future model plans, a quick follower update, and some thoughts about the MakerWorld community. Hope you enjoy this issue!Community Support - FollowersOne thing I've been grateful for is the support from people who continue to follow my profile and check out my models.I'd like to give a quick shoutout to some of my followers:Marble Run Creatoruser_1501879141AcaciaPrintsDawood AlbaqsamiStefan13Thank you all for the support! It's always encouraging to see people interested in my projects and newsletters. I appreciate every follower and everyone who takes the time to view, download, comment on, or support my models.Thank you all for following my profile! Every follower means a lot and it's awesome seeing more people interested in my projects. I appreciate all the support and hope you continue enjoying my future models and newsletters.Top Trending SearchesOne thing I always find interesting is looking at what people are searching for on MakerWorld. It gives a good idea of what types of models people are currently interested in printing.Fidgets continue to stay near the very top and have been one of the most popular searches for quite a while now. Here are some of the current top searches:Trending Community MakeOne of the trending community makes this week is the Textured Twisty Dragon Egg Fidget.This model combines several popular categories all into one print. It has a dragon theme, a dragon egg design, and it functions as a fidget as well. It is easy to see why this model has been getting so much attention recently.The texture on the egg gives it a really nice appearance, and the dragon inside makes it even more fun. Models like this show how creative the MakerWorld community can be.If you'd like to check it out, here's the model page:https://makerworld.com/en/models/2865269-textured-twisty-dragon-egg-fidget#profileId-3198065 Future Model PlansI am still working on my AMS-compatible Trail Signs. I have been continuing to experiment with different ideas and designs, and I hope to have more of them available in the future.The Phone Holder project is still alive as well! I'm still trying to come up with a design that I really like before releasing anything.As always, I have a few other ideas floating around that may eventually become models. Sometimes the best projects start as random ideas and slowly develop into something bigger.Community ThoughtsOne thing I've really enjoyed recently is seeing all the creativity coming from the Great Benchy Nations.For anyone who hasn't seen it, creators have been making their own nations, flags, lore, alliances, and stories based around Benchies. It's amazing how a simple 3D printed boat has turned into such a creative community project.What I like most about it is that there really aren't many rules. People can create their own countries, tell their own stories, and build their own ideas. It shows how creative the MakerWorld community can be when people work together on something fun.I also continue to be amazed by how quickly the top trending searches change. One week everyone is focused on one thing, and the next week something completely different is trending.That's one of my favorite things about MakerWorld. There is always something new happening, new ideas being shared, and new creators joining the community. It makes every week interesting to see what people come up with next. I'd Like To Hear From YouYes! I would like to hear from you. Comment your mdoel ideas, article ideas and more! Be creative. I will be open to new ideas and consider all of them! Closing ThoughtsThank you again for checking out Issue #4 of The Weekly Build!I appreciate everyone who takes the time to read these newsletters, follow my profile, and support my projects.Hopefully you enjoyed this week's overview of trending searches, community makes, future plans, and follower update.See you next week for Volume #1, Issue #5!
