Designed (FreeCAD) and printed some friction-fit two-piece enclosures for USB fan voltage controllers I use for extra cooling for my router and modem.
Also decided to print some somewhat comically large 6mm-hole press-fit knobs someone else designed to control the potentiometers in the same filament to make them match (just for the hell of it for fun).
Sunlu PLA+ Transparent (bought a lot of their filament on sale + a dryer and have been very satisfied with it tbh!)

I've only bought SUNLU PLA+2.0 and DeePlee PLA Pro so far from Amazon. Seems to be the best priced when buying 2 or 4 roll bundles. Very happy so far.

Yeah they had some spring sales on their website with free shipping and a decent percentage off for bundling 6 rolls, so I did that, and then when buying the dryer I could add random extra rolls (can't choose color) for very inexpensive as addons to the dryer (like $8/roll or something) so I tossed in a couple of extras. All in all came out with like 8 rolls + a S1Plus dryer for like $125
It was a bit overkill of a purchase when I'm just printing for myself, but I wanted to give myself enough to not have to think about it for a good long while

Technically this was yesterday's print: a flexi axolotl and parts of the base of a 3d printer. Right now I'm at the start of reprinting the axolotl much larger: I've got a 350mm bed, and I rotated the thing diagonally 45 degrees and scaled it up so it's nearly as large as it can physically be, which will be around 430mm tail to snout.
I did some axolotls for my sister earlier this summer. Came out pretty good.

Nice! Did you use an AMS or multi toolhead printer, or print the colors separately and glue 'em? The one I printed above I don't think had a separate color breakdown and I printed it on a one-toolhead machine so I could get it that large. I'm gonna wear it into the office on my shoulder tomorrow, and see about getting some double-sided tape or glue dots or something and stick it on my window.
Edit: I should say the one in the pic wasn't the giant one, but I posted that in the No Talking Allowed Here thread.
I did ams for mine, using the other nozzle for petg supports. I used the "paint" feature in bambu studio to color the different parts.
I found using petg for support for pla prints to just not work at all, the prime tower failed every time. Eventually I got some support for pla filament, and used that, with the orcaslicer settings set to print the top support interface with the support pla, and that worked a lot better for me.
The prime tower bambu studio made for me "contained" the petg within the pla of the prime tower. Maybe that's why it didn't fall apart. I did have a harder time using it just for interface material, so I did the whole support in petg.
