It was a mix of reefing and gardening. I needed to connect a garden hose to a pond pump and for the life of me couldn't find anything that fit. I now have a dozen frag racks, random flow generators, urchin hats, dice, and many other things that probably don't need to exist but now do.
My last project has a honeycomb style cubby thing for my wife's seed collection. Current one is a hanger so I can attach my kessil lights to my radion bar (came with the tank).
Also the store credit I get for hats and whatnot never hurts.

I did my first real print with my new filament yesterday. Turned out fairly decent. I'm looking forward to designing more stuff soon!
Yes… watching you trouble shoot your 3D printer allowed me to realize I don’t have the patience or mental band width to go for it on my own. I’ll just order from people like you that are smarter

It's my question but I'll answer it!
I've wanted a 3D printer for a while now, reefing was just a cool benefit to owning one. My kids are homeschooled and my daughter is high school age and wants to learn CAD. We got the 3D printer so she can started learning some of those skills. I'm still setting it up, but she's already been looking at some TinkerCAD and Fusion360 functions and designs.

The new stuff work well? Better or the same as what came with the printer?
Glad it finally worked out

Ooh that’s a good one!
3D printing goes really well with reefkeeping. I know there’s a lot of neat stuff out there and I’m sure I’ve barely seen 2% of it.

The wife and I both want to get a 3D printer bit just haven't pulled the trigger on getting one yet. We both tend to start a bunch of hobbies but not always finish them. So hate to the money on something we may not use but once or twice

Well, head on over to my thread and check the last 4 or 5 pages?
Official entry! Can’t believe I missed this. I have an Avast already but could use another for the next tank…assuming I can hid,,,err, convince the wife. Really need the top bc I’m ready to add a wrasse to the tank.

I remember when 3D printing became a thing and it was expensive to own one. Now it is more affordable and I've always wanted one but it might have to wait because I just spent a lot on equipment.
SO I dont know allot about 3D printers. My sisters BF has one and will normally make most things I ask him about. I was under the idea that you would just take a item place it inside and it would copy it...... and he was like nope does not work like that LOL BUT I see now it looks like the tech is getting to that point.

What are you using?

We got the Ender 3 Max Neo and it came with 250 grams of Creality white PLA. I was having a really hard time getting it to stick to the plate even with glue stick and what appeared to be almost perfect Z-axis offset. Finished that roll basically just doing calibration stuff and put a roll of Sunlu white PLA on and unclogged the nozzle almost immediately. I ran a heat tower and retraction tower, set those and had super strong adhesion.
