I just discovered this channel 12 hours ago. I printed the Tardis Bobblehead and the skull Bobblehead, ordered 3mm thick magnets, Overture Rockwhite PLA and a USB Pump... You got some nice ideas👍
Welcome to the channel! More projects are in the works and there's a new video every other Monday (this was a rare early update due to Halloween). Happy printing!
Loving all those cauldron variants! Of course, smoking cauldron is best cauldron, such atmosphere! (Also, it's a good thing R2D2 is fully a waterproofed droid)
Most of the music I use is from Artlist.io The intro music, on the other hand, was custom made for the channel and isn't available anywhere else... yet. I might upload the MP3 somewhere in the future. The song's is "Printy Ditty: Halloween Remix" by Slogra. He also made the original "Printy Ditty" that starts most non-Halloween videos.
Someday I'll make a video to answer this question :) Before getting into the printers, I should mention that prints on video typically look cleaner than in person. Not that these look bad - it's just that the camera doesn't pick up everything unless you're in a closeup. What filament you use can be more important that the printer. I stick with filaments I know really well and are very consistent. I also like marble PLAs ( like Duramic PLA+) and sparkle PLAs (Protopasta, Prusament Galaxy Black), which really help hide printing problems. Most of my prints come from three printers: a Prusa MK3, a Prusa MK3s, and a Prusa MK3s+. The oldest of the three has over 20,000 hours of printing time and continues to make prints that look as good as the newer Prusas. For my larger prints, I us a Project R3D Daedalus. I haven't done anything special to the printers, but I do obsess over getting a good first layer and I use slightly cooler printing temperatures when I can. I also try to print only one item at a time because LOTS of printing problems are due to an extruder dancing around the print bed. Finally, I try to design models that aren't all that challenging - short bridges, shallow overhangs, fairly broad bases, etc. I've never gotten supports material to come off as cleanly as I'd like, so I try to avoid it as much as I can. I hope something here was helpful. Thanks for watching!
@@3DPrinty Wow, this is an incredibly detailed, in depth, and educational comment. Thank you so much for taking the time to share so much helpful information, it's immensely appreciated! If I wasn't already subscribed to your fantastic channel, this comment alone would be reason enough. Thank you again and have a wonderful day!! :)
The cauldron is modeled so that it actually sits entirely on the base - no tricky overhangs that would need supports. The handles are also modeled into the side of the cauldron with a gentle transition between surfaces. For bolts, I recommend buying a generic kit of socket head M3 bolts. They're a very useful size and are available both on Amazon and McMaster-Carr.
@@3DPrinty 😆 actually, I have a small octagonal shaped table that would be perfect. It's technically a plant stand but it's solid wood. My late grandfather made it for my also late grandma about a half century ago, literally, I'm tempted to use that but worry about the water on that table as you can imagine
Oh, I definitely wouldn't risk that. Even if you are SURE your base is perfectly water tight, I'd be worried about random bumps and spills from everyday accidents.
@@3DPrinty I won't even put a plant on it because I'm afraid of water stains. I don't remember grandma ever having an actual plant on it either and the patina from ages is just so nice I don't want to chance it. My lava lamp calls it home these days.
Some excellent people created multiple water wheels before I got to it: www.printables.com/model/250817 Check the "Remix" and "Derivative" sections on Printables and Thingiverse for more options :)
the modular fountain and these add-ons are simply amazing! thanks for sharing
Probably the best thing I've ever printed! Special thanks for the tip "fuzzy skin"
Fuzzy skin is an excellent trick to keep in mind to give models something extra :)
very nice to use the already existing fountain platform and just have these swappable modules, thanks for sharing these
Glad you like it! I love a good expandable modular project.
Great upgrades to the fountains. The wife and I are starting on snowmen! Can't wait to see what you come up with next!
Thanks! I'm looking forward to seeing a flood of snowpeople prints and lots of clothing remixes :)

You got some nice ideas👍
Welcome to the channel!
More projects are in the works and there's a new video every other Monday (this was a rare early update due to Halloween). Happy printing!
Great timing, I had just started printing the fountain. I also plan on printing the classic lid pumpkin. Thanks for all these fantastic designs.
Awesome. Good luck with your prints!

I'm convinced R2D2 is impervious to everything!
great video as usal ! thanks for including my remixe of the plates on the video ! very great upgraddes to the fountain !
Thank you for remixing! The Kumiko plates are a really nice addition :)
@@3DPrinty I was really inspired by the fountain and I thought the kumiko style fits really nice to the hexagonal shape !
Love this
Great work! And now…on to Christmas! 🌲 🎅
Thanks! And yes, multiple projects are in the works :)
This is so cool!
Did I just get jumpscared by a bobblehead? 😂
Really appreciate your work, great ideas!
Thanks so much, more design ideas on the way!
What if you make a star wars water container style twist lock box, that would be really cool
Cool idea!
Awesome updates! keep them coming :)
You got it!
Looking for small to medium Thanksgiving things. Suggestions?
Table displays and napkin holders are always popular. There are lots of both on Printables! www.printables.com/search/all?q=thanksgiving
what is the intro song called and where to find it?
Most of the music I use is from Artlist.io
The intro music, on the other hand, was custom made for the channel and isn't available anywhere else... yet. I might upload the MP3 somewhere in the future.
The song's is "Printy Ditty: Halloween Remix" by Slogra. He also made the original "Printy Ditty" that starts most non-Halloween videos.
Forgive me if this is an oft repeated question, but what type of 3D printer do you use to make such incredibly smooth/clean prints?
Someday I'll make a video to answer this question :)

how do i print the cauldron that has a pump i don't understand how you would print it without supports and where can i find the screws for the print
The cauldron is modeled so that it actually sits entirely on the base - no tricky overhangs that would need supports. The handles are also modeled into the side of the cauldron with a gentle transition between surfaces. For bolts, I recommend buying a generic kit of socket head M3 bolts.

🤦♂️ The USB pumps you linked to in the original fountain video are still in the box… one day.
You're just saving it for fountain version 3.0, I understand :)
OMG, I love it! Well done! I want to make this so bad, I just don't have anywhere to put it.
Easy! 3D print a table :)

All good but where's the water wheel ???

It appears that most of the remix links are broken!
Thanks for catching that! They should be fixed now.
@@3DPrinty nice! Great work as always. Looking forward to adding the pumpkin to our fountain!
Someone please make Manneken Pis.
Frankly, I'm shocked nobody has done so, yet!
