Thanks so much and congratulations to everyone else! :clap

Oh. I won't post it on this thread, but I've got to show you this print I just finished. Not mine, but amazing nonetheless. This is where I dump my printing stuff. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/ramblings-of-an-amateur-aviculturist.1588499/

I've heard good things about it. I'm a solidworks purist, but I admit I'm having trouble with getting good visual models out of it that are based on aesthetics and not geometrical requirements. Hence my dabblings with Blender.

🤣 I think I can do something fancier than that. I'm trying to learn Blender - I think that will up my printing game.

Side note, I love your title. I wish I'd thought of that first. :lol:

Macaw in watercolor and ink pen on 80 lb watercolor paper. This was done as a study for a larger piece, but I ended up liking this one better than the final product.

Graphite pencil on medium weight drawing paper. Subject is a jay sitting on a stump. I wanted to play with contrast in this piece and explore a more abstract background instead of fully detailing each area.

It would put a more restrictive limit on the timeframe of these creations, but perhaps requiring WIP screenshots of the native CAD file as it's being developed? At least in SOLIDWORKS it's readily evident whether it's truly in progress or just rolled back. That would also help with authenticity...

The CAD model/print files you make before the slicing software turns them into gcode for the printer to run.

:clap Can't wait. Do 3D printed sculptures count if we made the STLs ourselves?
