3D Printing for Hobbyists and DIY, Blog, Featured
Use 3D printing to upgrade your Thanksgiving dinner!
Nov
As you can imagine, Airwolf 3D has a LOT of printers continuously running at our facility. From all the final test prints that you find carefully bundled into every machine that leaves our warehouse, to loads of customer sample prints, we are constantly printing and making things.
With the release of the new industrial AXIOM 20 and the surging popularity of the top-ranked AXIOM Dual Direct Drive, much of the Wolfpack’s attention has turned to demonstrating the industrial capabilities of our machines. That means our crew has been busy printing plenty of automotive parts (even more than usual!) and all kinds of polycarbonate and polypropylene sample parts. After all, Airwolf 3D printers are designed to be high-performance tools; and we love trying to test the limits of our machines.
But that doesn’t mean that we don’t take time out to work on just about any little side project that strikes our fancy. We’re gearing up for turkey day and these are five fun Thanksgiving prints handpicked by our own Wolfpack!
1. Autumn Leaf Cup
This pretty print is making its way around Airwolf 3D headquarters. Print these “leaf” cups in autumn shades of orange, red, and gold. Use as a candy dish or placecard holders for your Thanksgiving guests. Want to add a little extra sparkle to your table? These cups look great printed in PETG.
