Topic: silly mod.
I found this 40mm fan thing on thingiverse, thing:26310
and I thought it would look cool on my SD2 lmao
so I superglued it to the large back piece on the case mod

Re: silly mod.
That's pretty neat, actually. You could put a sponge or a piece of cloth in there to wipe off the filament as it goes in and you'd have something functional AND awesome.

Someone should use 123D Catch to scan one of those peeing boy fountains and turn that into a filament guide. Feeding yellow filament of course

Re: silly mod.
I though this was pretty cool, and I can think of a couple other things that would look funny.
Here is one possibility:
I'm still looking for a model of a "peeing cherub" like you see on some fountains, I'll post it here if I ever find one. Something like this:
To print or, 3D print, that is the question...
SD3 printer w/too many mods, Printrbot Simple Maker Ed., FormLabs Form 1+
AnyCubic Photon, Shining 3D EinScan-S & Atlas 3D scanners...
...and too much time on my hands.

Re: silly mod.
lol uh oh.. I only meant funny or silly because it's not something I designed, nor something that improves printing (like a lot of stuff on this forum). I am going to put a dust sponge in it, but I might have to reprint the back piece and the dragon again, so I can make the hole in the back piece larger for putting the sponge in and taking it out to cleaning / replace it

Re: silly mod.

GreekaDoodle!
Re: silly mod.
^^^ Cool!!! that would be awesome with multiple extruders
Re: silly mod.
that dragon filament feeder is cool, but it's not my sculpt so I've been playing in Blender learning how to sculpt. It might be hard to replace that dragon head with something else. but I'm having fun learning
snake head is the one I thought I might like but it's too plain hahahah
oh this is my 2nd sculpt the first is a human head.
