Additive Atom

@PirateSoftware I printed this HueForge of Rose when her story touched me in 2024, being a person that also rescues ferrets. It was nice meeting you Thor and I was glad I was finally able to give you the filament painting.

Was handed this at the con today from a really sweet fan. It's a 3d print of Rose one of the ferrets that came through our rescue. She was surrendered to us in terrible condition and her treatment ultimately failed. I still think about it all the time and wish we could have done anything for her beyond what we did. Rescue is hard in ways people just don't talk about enough.

Learn about HueForge and the 3MF Export plugin this week at #OpenSauce 2026. Find my exhibitor table in Fiesta.

Yo @MandicReally we found your doppelganger at #opensaucelive. @AdditiveAtom the nose isn't right but you get me. I have the authority for making nose jokes, so don't even try haters..

I have landed in San Francisco for #OpenSauce 2026. This weekend I am excited to share what I have been up to in the world of filament painting with @hueforge

3MF Export Plugin v1.0.6 is Now Available What's new: - QiDi Studio is now supported — the 11th slicer the 3MF Export Plugin supports. Along with the new writer, three QiDi Studio printer profiles ship out of the box (Q2, X-Max 4, X-Plus 4) and QiDi Studio 3MFs are auto-detected on import. - FlatForge and ColorDrop exports now include a properly-sized prime tower automatically — no more manual enablement in the slicer, and no more color bleed between filament changes. More printer profiles built-in: - Prusa Slicer — Prusa CORE ONE — 4 variants: MMU3, COREONEL MMU3, INDX4T, INDX8T - Prusa Slicer — Prusa XL5IS — replaces the older "Original Prusa XL - 5T Input Shaper" preset - Bambu Studio - Bambu Lab A2L — new preset (330×320 mm bed) - QiDi Studio — new slicer family with 3 printers: Q2, X-Max 4, X-Plus 4 (also auto-detects on import) Cleaner defaults across the board. Bundled printer presets have been standardized to produce compact, consistent output that opens cleanly in every supported slicer. Better filament matching. Thousands of new filament brand mappings so your HueForge filament picks land on the exact slicer preset instead of a generic fallback. More reliable Prime tower position, rotation, and geometry now stick to what the preset says — several silent overrides have been fixed.

@ippaku @NeoKoi_Prints @Shapr3D @ippaku, Like this dapper photo of my rescue ferret Milo? :)

@NeoKoi_Prints @Shapr3D What did you start with? I have my iPad so I wanna start with Nomad and I bought a course. But I got distracted because. @AdditiveAtom started showing me pictures of ferrets

I can organic model pretty easily now, but throw me into @Shapr3D and Im so lost. After I finish up a few more videos Im deep diving their tutorials. Designing your own stuff seriously feels like a super power

youtu.be/sxPjuJzqJnk?si… Check out the latest, good conversation about AB2047. Adding spyware to every 3D printer before you can use it is wrong and infringes on your rights without do a thing. If your goal is to reduce deaths why not push breathalyzers that report to the authorities in every vehicle before you drive, and arrest those who fail that breathalyzer since you’d be trying to start a car with intent to commit a crime- we’d save sooo many lives. /s

3MF Export Plugin v1.0.5 is Now Available What's new: -No more purge-bucket collisions on Bambu printers. Exports are now offset to clear the front-left exclusion zone on Bambu beds, with a paired back-shift on Y to keep the model centered. I call this feature the Exclusion Zone Avoidance System -Cleaner base layers. Fixed Height Range Modifier math so the slicer actually honors your base thickness. HRM Layer heights now snap to whole-number layer counts and respect your printer profile's max layer-height cap. -HugeForge tile mode polish. No more bogus "doesn't fit on bed" warning when using tile mode (which is supposed to exceed single-bed bounds). "Open 3MF after Export" option now available in all export modes. -Anycubic Slicer Next: new printers bundled out of the box. The bundled presets now nclude the Anycubic Kobra S1 Max and Anycubic Kobra X. -UI cleanup - Tighter, cleaner dropdown menus. Removed the empty icon column on the left of every dropdown item, restored proper font scaling, and reduced left padding. More Information at: shop.thehueforge.com/pages/3mf-plug…

@joeltelling Congratulations Joel very well deserved! 👏

I woke up to find that 3D Printing Nerd just surpassed 700,000 subscribers. I know subscribers don’t matter as much as they used to, and could be considered a vanity number - BUT, seeing this was still quite emotional. Thank you all! ❤️

@repkord How are you now going to run your Windows 95 applications? 😎

I harvested the sheet metal from my old PC case today. I have the black lung now but it was worth it.

@repkord I shipped this off to a friend this week. All reused packaging materials. ♻️

If you ask me to ship you something I don't have standard packaging for you'd better believe you're getting all the random excess packing material I can find.
