J. Lake 3D

Huge thank you to everyone who appreciates my videos 👌 As we step into 2026 I just want to say that I am planning on making a course this year to make you proficient in Shapr3D.

I know I’ve been pretty quiet this past year even though we’ve had a ton of updates, but sometimes life gets a little too fast and we need to step back and work on ourselves. I will be revamping my efforts on making you more intimately acquainted with CAD this new year so if you haven’t already, subscribe and support my work. Happy 2026 Everybody!

Kitchens and 3D printers come together to keep your kitchen in working order even when manufacturers discontinue the hardware 👌 I took this opportunity to strengthen the weak spot that was the issue and now this clip should be bulletproof 🤘

I usually don’t risk an entire build plate, but with slicers having the option to cancel individual prints on the go this just became a viable alternative. As long as you’re close enough to notice something go wrong 😂

I think these colors POP 🔥

Brought my first ever 3D printer back to life. Lot’s of memories, lots of work required to get it functional again. Started up just like old faithful though 🤘 Was also reminded how fast delta’s are, or used to be 😂

Also very easy to see why I upgraded to Prusa’s at the time. They have been reliable for years and even with the new printers I have not been tempted to upgrade much. Although I recently pulled the trigger for a Creality K1 because it had a massive sale due to the new model coming out. Should help to print bigger parts and it is enclosed 👌 Let’s see what happens lol

Someone posted a great question on FB. After doing a couple experiments I came up with a really cool way to use the Split body tool to do multiple cuts at the same time. Will post a how-to video soon 🤘

Reason being: Split body only works one face split at a time. This fixes that in a cool way for many applications.

Zero Waste 👌

Did you guys know I also repair 3D printers? 🤗

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! 🎄😄

I have been extremely busy as of late, but I am still here and plan to do many things in the future. Thanks for sticking around and joining me for the fun of learning. Have a blast today! 🚀🎉

Maybe a tad over engineered, but works like a charm 😂🤘
