I recently got a Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro for Christmas and I’ve been making cool models. I also made my first working pod cover!

@Liam-M this is really awesome! Congratulations and Mazel Tov!

Kaelan, my T1D son, is in college now and uses 3D printers there to do cool things, particularly gifts for his friends, but also daily items he needs or help him.

Looking forward to seeing some of your items here! Can’t wait. I’ll have to look up the printer you got.

Very cool! One of my friends printed me a cauldron-themed dice tower for Dungeons & Dragons this Christmas. Used it for the first time today! It’s wild how creative the 3D printing patterns are!
