Showcasing Weekend 3D Printer Creations at Home
Over the weekend, I printed a desk organizer and a few keychains using my 3D printer (Ender 3 V2). I struggled at first with leveling and bed adhesion, but once I got the hang of it, it became really fun. Attaching photos of the prints. What do you all make with your 3D printers? I'm planning to try my hand at figures next.

Oh, congratulations on your first successful print with the Ender 3 V2! I use the same model, and leveling really is key. That desk organizer is quite practical. I mainly print board game parts or figure stands, and if you're planning to try figures, support removal is the real challenge. Keep it up!
Wow, the print quality looks great! I use an Ender 3 Pro, and I had some trouble with bed adhesion at first. Now I mainly make small toys or household items like shelf hooks. Figures take longer than I expected, but it'll be rewarding once finished. Looking forward to seeing your photos!
The desk organizer is really practical! I usually make small accessory cases or phone stands with PLA instead of acrylic. The Ender 3 V2 has a lot of room for tuning, so upgrading it bit by bit is part of the fun. I'd also recommend trying a benchmark print before tackling figures. Nice photos!
Congratulations on getting into 3D printing! I remember staying up all night struggling with leveling when I first started. Now I make keychains and miniatures as gifts for friends. For figures, paying attention to overhang angles really makes a difference in the results. Are you using PLA filament by any chance? Just curious.
