Original Title: A friend gave me his old printer after he upgraded. I have very, very limited knowledge and don't know where to get started on this guy. Any tips and knowledge I could glean would be amazing, as well as slicer recommendation

Hey r/3Dprinting!

I’ve been toying with an idea for a SaaS tool that converts text prompts into 3D object files (STL). The concept is simple: you describe the object you want, and the tool generates a 3D model you can use for printing.

Before diving in, I wanted to ask this amazing community:

1.  What do you think of the idea? Would a tool like this be helpful to you?

2.  Are there already similar tools on the market that do this?

I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or even wish lists for features you’d like in a tool like this!

Thanks in advance for your insights.

So I've recently jumped on the 3d printing train after my employer gave me an ender V3 SE for my 21st birthday. Absolutely love this thing and it's definitely been getting a workout the past few weeks lol.

My question is, how safe is it to 3d print in my bedroom? I only print with PLA at the moment and from what i've read online most people say it is fine and to just keep good air flow in your room while printing. My missus on the other hand is very sceptical and has needed a lot of reassurance that she wont spontaneously combust from the PLA fumes.

I don't really have anywhere else to put it as i live at home with younger siblings who will for sure break it. Let me know what you guys think.

I watched Scott Friedman’s video and thought I should try PCTG on my Bambu A1. Does anyone have any experience with this material? On Amazon, I could only find it from 3D-Fuel. However, they call it PRO PCTG, which might be a marketing gimmick or something else in the formula (they have MSDS sheets for all products on their website, but for the PRO PCTG). 🤔

I found a few people selling these "p-flat" build plates on etsy, which - due to the chinese name and the fact that multiple people are selling the same thing - i'm sure exist somewhere on aliexpress or alibaba. However, I can't find them, even with reverse image search. All the ones on Aliexpress and other chinese platforms are the same usual holo patterns, but (apart from inseption, which is similar to the holo shard plates) these are different.

I don't live in the US so i'd rather not have to order from there.

Original Title: A free model for everyone to conclude the Shelf series. It's a solid design aimed at reducing dust collection, as many have pointed out. I would greatly appreciate any comments or ideas for improvement.
