Hey everyone! I’ve just hit a major milestone, and I want to take a moment to thank all of you who’ve supported me along the way. I’ve officially reached 25,000 downloads on Printables! On Makeronline, I’ve hit 16,600 downloads, and over on Makerworld, I’ve reached 3,600 downloads & 3,200 print profile downloads—bringing me to a total of 48,400 downloads across all platforms. I truly appreciate the encouragement and enthusiasm from this community—it means a lot.

I also want to apologize for the recent quiet spell over the past couple of weeks. I’ve been focused on some personal projects and reflecting a bit on my process. I’ve decided to move away from posting weekly designs. They were starting to feel repetitive, and I noticed a dip in engagement—both from others and myself. Going forward, I want to share work that excites me and feels meaningful, rather than just pushing something out for the sake of consistency. My new goal is to release designs every 2 to 3 weeks.

As many of you saw in my last update, I attempted to design a fully 3D printed basketball chain net. It ended up being a bit of a flop—and yes, I ended up using about 1KG of filament—but honestly, I had a great time working on it. It was something uniquely mine, and to my knowledge, no one else had attempted it. Even though it didn’t pan out, the process was rewarding, and that’s the kind of work I want to focus on—projects that challenge me and that I genuinely enjoy. 

Thanks again for all your support—it really keeps me going!
