3D printers and the things growers and stoners can make with them

What the actual hell? Why have I not seen something like this before?! Absolutely brilliant!

Is it compressed enough on it's own to hold together long enough to smoke? I need to know more here!

Welcome to Bud Builders.
That is a cannagar mold.
@Stoneyluv made me mine.
Some wrap with leaves they dry special or a paper.
You compress it enough with extra stuff like fresh pressed rosin and or hash and then wrap it up for safety and longevity.
;doobies

it wasn't my idea, there's an actual cannagar mold in aluminum made by purple rose... https://thevapestation.ca/product/purple-rose-cannagar-personal/

but there is no way i was paying that much for one. so i drew one in tinkercad and can be printed in plastic for a couple dollars.

you fill it closed up and pack it tight with the ramrod, then take it out of the mold and cover it in your favorite concentrate then cover with a wrap and pull out the skewer.. it burns for a long time!!!!!!!

files are free for the taking...

Working on this project for an upcoming music festival. Gotta my settings just right and clean it up.
I'll be selling these scented prints on hemp string to wear around the neck or hang anywhere as a small souvenir. Gonna make a little bit of cash while on Spring break and maybe, hopefully, start making something back from this hobby!

Filament Santa dropped by with the goods so I'm ready to go now!

Thought I'd share this with Y'all in case anybody wants to order filaments sold in Europe we can't get in the US.
You place the order and pay the invoice as normal.
Shipping was about $40 USD after converting on a package about 10"x10"x12" weighing less than 10lbs

The package ships and while enroute, UPS sends an email if you have a UPS account. If you don't have an account then you're billed upon delivery but billed an xtra $12 on top of tariff and government fees.
This is what those bills look like. They're very real. I have to pay it or I don't get the package. It's almost a ransom really. And there's two charges. One which UPS and Customs split between them and the other more expensive charge goes to a very cagey "government charges" with no real set scale and a half assed nothing burger explanation of what it pays for.
It seems that cost may depend on who's working that day. It can be low like this $43 charge making the shipping total out to over $70 or it can be a total 100% and double the entire cost of the order. I never know the fee until after it ships and there's nothing Filament2Print or Spain can do to let me know what it could come out to.

I’m still trying to send stuff down to you guys. Spent half the day going from post office to post office trying to get the duties waved or paid. None could do it and all had different understandings of the rules and how to interpret them. One lady said this was put in place three years ago yet the pamphlet says August 2025 is when it was introduced. 🤦

I even tried using the iPhone to do this but you have to upload photos which an AI then decides what’s being shipped, what it is, where it’s from, and how much it’s worth. You are supposed to be able to comment or edit the upload but it doesn’t work. So it thinks my 3D printed stuff is worth over $150! I even tried to do it again with the same pics but in a different order. It gave me a higher price!!! Thinks everything is from China even though I said it’s all gifts and nothing was store bought or being sold.

This new system is stupid and a deterrent to shipping outside of the country.

I haven’t given up but it’s going to be a while yet. I have to send them. What am I going to do with over $150 worth of custom printed figurines for other people? 🤣

Just frustrating and expensive shipping across any border these days. Even inside this border prices and times of deliveries range greatly and are rarely consistent.
Europe has so much better shit than we can get over here. Everything here is funneled thru Amazon and we get crap filaments. Even the big box computer store which has it's own brand of filament here in town, won't carry it so they have to yield to amazon.
I'm not playing it anymore. Too many junk spools so I either order direct from bambu now or get specialized filaments from across the pond and hope to not get fleeced too bad.
It just sucks paying that tariff because it's sticking a higher value on a product than it's worth and making it so a government can collect that difference. Should be a private sale from business to customer with use a shipping service but no. It's cash cow ripe for the skim and since it's being ran by the governments, they make the rules and laws that force us to pay up.

I had an unexpected inquiry yesterday though and will take her up on...Sold my first scented prints and literally the very first question was can I make a scented sex toy too. IDK what I'm getting into here but I said yeah and just tossed out a number, for about $150. She agreed!
So she's gonna look for a file and I told her I can do something on tinkercad and make something custom.
I'm gonna end up with a bubblegum scented dildo on my printer this week and my wife doesn't know about it yet...It's gonna be printing right behind her and eventually she's gonna get up and see a neon pink dildo smelling like bubblegum and wonder WTF?:ROFLMAO:
 
it won't smell like bubblegum for long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahahahahaha

.


no worries at all Zen!! i didn't know if they were all surprises so i never said a word to the others...

it's gotta be frustrating for you man.

i am looking forward to seeing what the quality looks like, not that i want to put a new printer in the budget or anything but if it blows me away i might.. the photos looks killer!!!
