    3d printing a gift is the modern day equivalent of when someone would crochet or knit a gift for you. I would take that over anything bought from the store.

    • @Emily-fm7pt
      @Emily-fm7pt Před 3 lety +40

      accept knitting requires lots of time and effort, and 3d printing [a model off of thingiverse] takes approximately 21 clicks... (Not saying that Its wrong to do that cause I've done it plenty of times, but I feel like its much more personal to get a knitted, or carved gift)

    • @ceppoc
      @ceppoc Před 3 lety +1

      Even if that thing from the store was worth around 100 thousand dollars?

    • @liquirius
      @liquirius Před 3 lety +18

      It depends. My sister does crocheting, I've got 2 3D printers. The amount of work needed for taking a model from the Internet, throwing it onto an FDM printer and checking again after half a day or so cannot really be compared to even the simplest crocheting. The time equivalent would either be creating your own 3D models or doing 2-3+ prints on a resin printer, since preparing and cleaning the model takes so much more time.

    Printing someone something may not be "as much effort" as hand crafting an item, but it is a HELLUVA lot cooler than store bought.
    If properly planned, you can make someone a multi-part large prop from their favorite game or movie.

    I've been printing a nativity set on a card that you punch out the pieces and build it. It's new this month on Thingiverse. I've been giving it to friends and neighbors and am excited every time someone texts me a picture of theirs built and says how much they and their kids love it. Simple, but it has gone over great.

    I made a Tippi Tree for myself when Devin started selling the model. Despite of me hardly seeing anyone at all right now, literally every single person who saw it asked me to make one for them. And now the people who know these people are asking me to make one for them. All of my printers are now basically Tippi Tree machines. In fact, I went back to check the license to see if it's even okay for me to print so many copies of the game - turns out if I don't charge for them, it's fine. So yeah, this is an amazing Christmas present for anyone, kids or adults. People love this fricken game.

    I just got an SL1, and I've been printing puzzles inspired by your puzzle cube for family members (Different profiles for the sweeps, to adjust the difficulty.). The tighter tolerances I can get with it make them _very_ finicky to assemble since everything has to be lined up perfectly, but that's part of the challenge >:D
    The difficulty of ending up with *_only_* four bodies after the cuts are done, while still generating a nicely complex geometry, was a bit of a surprise, it's harder than I expected, but satisfying when finished.
    Thanks for the inspiration, and Merry Christmas.

    I've been printing gifts, buying normal gifts, and giving gag gifts for the past 4 years. Last year I did the labyrinth gift box for my nephew. I like doing gifts for a person (like Twisted Fate from LOL for my other nephew one year, or a carousel horse for my mom). It is fun. I usually start in November since there are so many projects.
    This year I customized a few things with my 3D pen and worked on decorations too. Though I am realizing that yes PLA wears too fast and does not like sun exposure. (I used my clear rafts, bits, and a Olaf kit to create a melted snowman yesterday, we'll see how it turns out) I'm not fond of PETG but we'll see how it wears. It is definitely a pain to get supports off, sand, and paint!
    My dad is a car model maker and has pretty much taken over the painting of the objects I print. He likes the variety I do and is getting into making gifts as a personal touch. (I did vex him by messing up the Baby Yoda Christmas Ornaments on him with a dark wash though. lol)
    I also like to use Facegen. Angus have you checked that out? I use it to 3D print family members as ornaments for the tree. Especially those who have passed recently. It is a good way to remember them and know they are still with us, if only in spirit. I am in production mode now printing 10 for the various family members now. It is fun for people to find them in the tree like the pickle.
    Happy Holidays!

    I'm in the process of printing a lipstick organizer that's designed to fit in a medicine cabinet. And for added functionality, some spacers to allow a mix of two favorite brand/sizes

    This year I printed 45 maze boxes (up from 30 last year) BTW there is a 10-pack of different mazes on Thingiverse too! Perfect for co-worker, friends, or just an extra if someone gives you an unexpected gift. I normally put some lottery tickets in, or other things if I know the person "partakes"

    Some really great stuff!
    The last one would be perfect for the kids of a friend of mine 🤣
