The print farm
FDM and resin printers turning out functional parts, scale models, and the occasional sea creature.
A shelf of FDM and resin printers that mostly earns its keep on practical parts — net-pots and fittings for the hydroponic garden, enclosures, jigs — but also makes things purely because they’re satisfying to make.
The articulated octopuses up top are a good example: print-in-place, no supports, no assembly. They come off the bed already wiggling, which makes them a brutal test of tolerances — too tight and the joints fuse, too loose and they flop.
A salmon that says “Never Give Up”
A wall-mount fish with painted-on scale and eye detail (a layer-swap colour technique), mounted on a printed plaque.
A Falcon, scaled down
Because every print shelf needs a rocket.
The PicoPH sensor enclosure was printed here too — that one earns its keep.
