    PLA; it's the most common type available and the one I'm most familiar with. It can't withstand high temperatures without deforming, but frankly if people expose their trays to the temperatures which would cause problems (i.e., greater than 100 C) they have much bigger problems on their hands...

    That's great! Very nice job there. The fun part of having printers is I can prototype things until I get it just right.

    ... You know, that's a fantastic idea! I didn't even know that would be a thing people might want, but I could have it hook into the turner mechanism and have slots for mesh or something. Hmmm... Going to think it through, but thanks for the idea!

    It's pretty crazy what you can do nowadays with commercial printers. My neighbor down the road has a business printing costume props for cosplayers, and my brother and cousin in law both have printers and use them for making props and fun toys for their kids.

    Ooo, you're right! Haha, glad to see you're thinking ahead in that regard. Do send me pics of your itty bitties when they hatch, I'm waiting on my first clutch to ship from MyShire any day now! Just have to find time on the printers to print myself a tray...

    It does sit a little higher, mostly because I wanted to try to avoid any chance of scooting under the eggs. You can also add shelf liner to the bottom if the eggs are riding too low in the tray, which serves the dual purpose of listing the eggs up a little and being in place to give the chicks...

    Eggs and shipping

    When you order your eggs, try to ask that they be shipped via Priority. You might not be able to get a full dozen for that amount, but a small box shipped Priority shouldn't be more than $10 shipping costs. I've had a lot of trouble with things I shipped First Class recently, so I've been eating...

    The big struggle is finding filament for the birds. Feathers are so tough to print! XD

    Hey guys! Excited to join the community

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I'm actually going to be keeping quail in the spring. We have all the wood for our first hutch, and multiple incubators, and a brooding system and EVERYTHING. But with the weather as weird as it is we're waiting until mid-March to...

    Hi guys! It's me, ThatChickPrinter! I stumbled across this thread today (hi @hoondogsrunamuck !), and wanted to answer some questions and clarify some things. 1. What's the deal with inventory? Etsy isn't set up to handle 3D printing queues well. I have four printers running around the clock...
