Prints for Coworkers

I printed off a few things for some coworkers:







All printed in PETG. There was ZERO warping on that big flat bottom of that last one. I'm very poud of that.

Charizard - More PETG


Man, I'm liking this PETG. There's a fair amount of stringing, but you can actually bend and flex those wings!

Nintendo Switch Stand - First Print in PETG!

Now that Kid's Day was successfully complete, I was ready to experiment. I broke out my first roll of PETG - bright orange. I printed out a little Charmander to make sure things looked ok:

Bring Your Child to Work Day

The engineering firm I work for participates in "Bring Your Child to Work Day" each year, and this year I was "volunteered" to bring in my 3D printer.

So I packed up my Rostock and all the random 3D printed crap I had laying around, and set it up at the office:




The kids loved it! A lot of parents told me the next day that their kids' christmas lists got a lot more expensive over night :-)


I managed to print out four pokemon (in color!) before I packed up the printer to take home:



If I had been thinking ahead, I would have made a bunch more before hand. As it was, I printed off a tray of pikachus the next night, and gave them to the kids' parents the next day. I got a lot of "Thank you!"s.
