Finally! Part two of 3D printing on fabric has been uploaded. Check out the linktree in my bio for the YouTube channel. Here is the direct link https://youtu.be/lZ_aZTOcA7U?si=6ShWmZbQE_jHrdgB Be sure to leave your questions in the comments section to be added into part 3!

USA H2D After a handful of small prints a couple of layers tall, I printed a preloaded file (the second side spool holder) in bambulab gold sparkle pla filament. For a 53 minute print, it looks great! I've just loaded up 14 smaller prototypes to see how it does. Happy printing!

The first thing that I do when I get a new printer is print the max volume to see where my limits are. This is also a great indicator of how flat the bed is and how well the printer can compensate for the micro peaks and valleys. It has a 350x320x325 build volume, but 25mm on either side is dedicated to a single print head. This means the filament loaded in the right nozzle will not be able to print on the leftmost 25mm of the bed, and vice versa with the left printhead on the right side of the bed. I have to say, I'm impressed with this first sample. Great bed adhesion all the way around. Today is a fun experimentation day, so I hope to share some more results with you all soon. H2D

What a fun way to start the week - more experiments! This time, we printed the first two layers with our recycled PLA from and the third was printed with a uv reactive filament from 3d printed on illusion mesh - this pattern will be uploaded later this week. Happy printing!

I've been getting quite a few questions of how to sew with this material - here is a brief video showing how I've been getting by the last little bit. Shoutout to for making a pretty darn good sewing machine! I've loved it since the day I loaded up the first bobbin. I use a jersey or ball needle with an adjustable zipper foot. Using a triple stitch in the "SS" function, we get a really clean line when sewing into a base fabric. These are two dual color filaments from printed on an inception pflat sheet. Happy printing/sewing!

I'm so excited. I've just uploaded negative patterns for gloves on my profile. 4 sizes, with 3 variations. Load these files as a negative part modifier paired with your choice of textile to create custom gloves. In this example, I used the recently uploaded Escher inspired pattern.

I sure do love my 3d printed bag www.thangs.com/designer/kaizen3dprints

This is the large size of the newly added enchanted drawstring bags on my account. This is one of many ways it can be used. It's not just a bag! head to www.thangs.com/designer/kaizen3dprints for the stl file. This example is 3d printed in a red yellow blue tri color silk pla from on a black illusion mesh with an octogram bottom layer pattern. I'm using a holographic pflat sheet available at Www.kaizen3dprints.com for the available sizes of build plates. I do love my olight spheres, adding a customizable twist to these 3d printed works of art.

You asked for a dice bag - here's the most magical dice bag I've ever seen, new on my profile. For this model, and two larger sizes, head to www.thangs.com/designer/kaizen3dprints This takes around 1.5 hours to print on a A1 mini, with a pause at the second layer to add fabric and magnets. It can be reversed to turn into a dice tray. Flip it back around when you've finished with your quest. A variety of closures can be used. This example uses a 2mm iridescent chain and a simple cord end stop. This is printed with a blue silk pla + from on a black illusion mesh from Thoughts?
