Vicky Somma

I am so busy with my #3DPrintopia duties, I typically don't share my #3DPrinting projects at the event. But this year, I *wore* one of my projects! A @3DBenchy top! It combines 381 3D Printed beads with crochet. It is the first time I've crocheted myself a garment. Very pleased!

@loyalmoses Awesome! My family and I are seeing it tomorrow morning! I am expecting my husband and I to really like it. I hope my sons and niece like it as much as we do.

Project Hail Mary was really good! The whole family enjoyed it. 🔥

Going LIVE with @prime_tower_3d

@3DPrintopia individual makers and corporate vendors/sponsors we have sent out our 2026 event prospectus. Check your email! If you need a prospectus and didn’t receive, shoot us an email at info@3DPrintopia.com and we will get you the info you need!

Happy Prime Tuesday! Tonight on "How Would You Slice That?" we'll be meeting with Cryptatrope maker @prime_tower_3d and discussing how he makes little moments of magic with #3DPrinting. Join us live at 8 PM EDT if you can. Links below.

@YuTR0N That is slick looking! Love it!

Might have done something useful for Blender with ChatGPT. Till now if I wanted to set an object's origin to selected vertex I did this: edit mode, select vertex, shift+s set 3d cursor to selection, go to object mode, right click, set origin to 3d cursor Now it's one click.

@karenchau_x @DIYMaker_Johan I am good at overcommitting myself so last year for my birthday, I permitted myself the time to do something I absolutely wanted to do - finally assemble my CocoaPress! I encourage you to indulge in something for yourself - big or small - to celebrate. You deserve it!!! 5/5

@karenchau_x @DIYMaker_Johan It all started by deciding to make the day notable and do something for myself. And it isn't just hiking. I use my birthday as a license to do whatever I want! I take off work. I order a fancy coffee! I splurge on a dessert, maybe even two! I sleep in! 4/?

Later this month, the 23th, it's my birthday again. I will be 31. 💀🤣🤣 Sadly, I'm not really looking forward to it, because as far as I know it will be nothing special. Just an ordinary day. And in real life, most people aren't even aware or know about it somehow. 1/2⬇️

My mother's viewing is tonight, so there will be no episode of "How Would You Slice That Tonight?". We do have a number of guests lined up so do stay tuned for future Prime Tuesdays. Hugs to all!

@MrCarefulGamer @3DPrintopia I agree! Thank you for your kind words and taking the time to reach out.

@TGAW @3DPrintopia My condolences, Vicky. It is so wonderful how she supported you in your 3DP events. ♥️

My Mom passed away this week. She lived with us and was a part of my #3DPrinting Journey from Day 1. I am really glad she got to see @3DPrintopia and meet our community in person. Small thread of Maker Related images, starting with an Easter Event where we helped kids craft.

@MakeItWithCal @3DPrintopia Thank you, Calvin.❤️

@TGAW @3DPrintopia So sorry to hear that 😭

@gunfuzled @3DPrintopia Thank you. My siblings and I were all with her last days in the hospital. I think we gave her a good send-off. Although counter-intuitive, there are moments I suspect I will remember fondly.

@TGAW @3DPrintopia Vicky, sorry for your loss. I hope her passing, despite the loss, brings peace.

@NelisWillers @3DPrintopia What an absolute beautiful thought. Thank you for sharing that and articulating it so well.

@TGAW @3DPrintopia Permanence of physical loss is always hard. You built a beautiful bond with this fabulous lady. And the bond remains. Memory of her will remain in every print you pull from the plate. When your fingers touch a print, you touch her memory. Keep the faith, Love.

@devmobnow @3DPrintopia Thank you. It was nice of you to take the time to comment. Appreciated.

@TGAW @3DPrintopia Prayers to you and the family. So sorry for you all.

@karenchau_x @3DPrintopia Thank you, Karen. She was a fan of your cute Easter/Spring magnets from March Magnets. A little indifferent to the Pi Day magnets-- but she definitely loved the spring ones! :)

@TGAW @3DPrintopia Deepest condolences 🫂💕
