3D Print with ME!

Come 3d Print With ME!

I am not a great 3d printer person. In fact I've only had it for a little over a year and its not a fancy one. I just wanted to try it out. I'll list the model below so that you can look it up if you would like.

Not long ago I bought one of those huge tape runners from Goodwill and I was so excited it was less than 1.00. It was missing the inside piece that holds the tape on but it still works. I checked on www.thingiverse.com and found a model someone posted and printed it. It works perfectly now! Yay!

I 3d printed the yellow pc that holds the old tape on when it is used.

I then decided I just wanted to print some fun stuff so I printed the following items since I had everything fired up.

A beetle cookie cutter

Some peace signs I may use as earrings

These peace signs were super small so I'm going to use them as scrapbook embellishments or I may use a couple as stud earrings.

This is something you put over a coffee cup and sprinkle powdered sugar or cocoa on top of milk. It creates a really cute design on your morning coffee

I named my chicken Hei Hei so I had to print a image out. I was going to use it as a stencil but then decided it was too cute to mess up with ink.

3D printing is really kinda fun, there are so many models available. I do not know how to design models and have not even explored it. It takes a while to print things but its so addictive.

I have even printed a pen holder for my Cameo 4. It can be quite useful.

The model of 3d printer I have is called a XYZ Da Vinci 3d printer I bought it at Best Buy for under 200.00. It takes only spools of filament that are designed for it unless you buy an attachment. It does pretty well and I have not had a lot of issues with it. I think its a great first time 3d printer.

I hope you like my little blog about my 3d prints. Leave me a comment if you have any questions.

Thanks for 3d printing with me.

Come and make your own sublimation spray with me!

Come make some sublimation spray with me! You are asking yourself what is sublimation spray and what is it used for? Well, as you may or may not know, you have to sublimate on polyester. The higher the % of polyester the higher chance your image will stay on the item you are subbing on. Well, I found a way to make some spray that you can spray on cotton or any other fabric and it will sublimate. For instance, I tried sublimating on this random patch I have. I don't know what it is made of so i wanted to see if it would work. It didn't. Random Patch with no sub spray: Then I made the sublimation spray. Items you need: Polycrylic protective finish, I used clear satin but you can use clear matte as well. Spray Bottle Water Then your usual sublimation products: Sub paper Sub printer Heat press Fabric to sublimate on To make the spray, use 8 ounces of water and 2 tablespoons of Polycrylic. Mix them together into a jar (I used a maso...

Come and use the Betterpress by Spellbinder's with me!

Come and use the Betterpress by Spellbinders with me! A few months ago I went to a 2 day event that was sponsored by Spellbinders and it was so much fun. We got a ton of spellbinders dies and toured the offices and warehouse. We did a couple make and takes at the office and one was with the Betterpress system. I fell in love with the crispness of the press and how beautiful the cards turned out. Its rally hard to see unless its in person but the image is pressed into the cotton paper making it look like a professional print. The better press works with a lot of different machines including the BigShot, Vagabond, Sizzix Switch, and Spellbinders Platinum. It really just needs to fit the Betterpress through without an issue. I would imagine if you can fit an old steel rule die, you can fit the Betterpress inside the machine. I am involved in a monthly card swap and decided to use my Betterpress for them. You first put your metal press plate on the...
