Previously I covered a range of 3D printable workshop tools. Making that video was enjoyable and viewers seemed to like it too. In this sequel, I select another twelve quality, 3D printed tools to share with you. Some of these I’ve already used for projects, and others I look forward to using in the future.
Thanks to all of the amazing designers who create and release these tools for free!

![The pros and cons of 3D printer cloud connectivity
Check out my 2nd channel, TT Racing: https://www.youtube.com/@ttracingYT
More and more 3D printers are being sold with cloud connectivity. In this video, we debate the merits of this approach. While there are some worthwhile gains in convenience, there are also some alarming possibilities too. Will the annoying trends that plague games and mobile apps find their way to 3D printing? Let’s hope not.

![Non-planar 3D printing in a modern slicer thanks to the community
Check out my 2nd channel, TT Racing: https://www.youtube.com/@TTRacingYT
Non-planar 3D printing is truly mesmerising to watch, and for the right type of model, vastly improves the appearance and surface quality. Thanks to the community, this feature is now available in a recent version of PrusaSlicer. In this video, I take you through the journey, the quirks, and the potential of non-planar 3D printing.
Hopefully this code can be ported into other slicers and developed even further. Even in its current experimental form it’s still worth having.

![Five ways to reduce layer lines on your 3D prints - Adaptive layer height and more!
Check out my 2nd channel, TT Racing: https://www.youtube.com/@TTRacingYT
Layer lines tend to diminish the appearance of FDM 3D prints, so in this video, we cover five techniques for reducing their appearance. Four of these are replicable by anyone by using simple filament changes and/or slicer settings.
Adaptive layer height is also available in Cura under the ‘experimental’ heading.
Thanks to Lee for requesting a guide on variable layer height, which inspired the rest of the video.

This site appears to use AI-generated content, lacking genuine context, and seems to exist solely to profit from advertisements. Worse, it may redirect download links to harmful sources. For your safety, avoid downloading OrcaSlicer from this site as the links may be compromised.

A while back, I discovered Orca Slicer, a fork of Bambu Studio that could handle Bambu Lab 3D printers as well as other Marlin and Klipper machines too. Since then, it has evolved and I have adopted it as my primary slicer.
My patron Derek asked for a beginner’s guide on migrating to Orca Slicer. In this video, we cover download and installation, first run, basic slicing, security tips and other useful features. There is plenty that’s beyond the scope of this video, but hopefully enough is covered to let you hit the ground running.

![Machining custom race car parts with the Carvera CNC
Check out my 2nd channel, TT Racing: https://www.youtube.com/@TTRacingYT
One of the best things about buying a 2nd hand race car, is that you can now have design projects making custom parts for it. Today, I create three bespoke parts using the Carvera desktop CNC mill, which has fulfilled Kickstarter pledges and is available to purchase. The video includes a summary of the improvements made to the final version of the machine, and the design and manufacturing process of the bespoke parts.
This unit was provided free of charge by Carvera, on the condition that when I use it for a project, I highlight the improvements that have been made for the production version. The previous unit I was sent was given away for free. I’ve had it for a couple of months, during which I’ve been lurking in the support Discord. My impression is that customers are happy, and that those who need help receive it in a timely manner. All opinions expressed are my own.
This is expensive compared to a 3D printer, but I’m sure that anyone who buys one will be satisfied. Users are easily able to replicate the results achieved in marketing materials, plus push ahead in making their own creations.

![Designing for vase mode - 3D design for 3D printing
Check out my 2nd channel, TT Racing: https://www.youtube.com/@ttracingYT
To get the best out of 3D printing, it helps if you can design your own parts. In this tutorial series, we will learn to use a free 3D CAD program to do just that.
In this episode, I demonstrate how to use simple shapes with helices and patterns to create repeating geometry suitable for vase mode 3D printing. The same concepts are repeated each time, with small variations, which means you can easily change aspects to experiment and see how the final result is altered. I also cover what vase mode is and how to activate it in your slicer.
This tutorial is near the end of a long series. It assumes you are already proficient with Onshape. If you try to follow this as a beginner, you will find it way too fast. Please see the earlier videos in the playlist to pick up the basics.

UDPATE: Article from OpenScan addressing the discussion in the comments about whether or not this is Open Source: https://www.openscan.eu/post/is-openscan-an-open-source-project
A 3D scanning photogrammetry rig that automates image capture and post processing, for free, and open source! It sounds too good to be true, but based on my testing it’s not. After you purchase the hardware kit, everything is free.
I’m not a patient person when it comes to prep for painting or 3D scanning, so the fact that my results were impressive tells you that this product is easy to use for almost everyone.
Most of this hardware was provided free of charge by OpenScan for the purpose of making this video. It was tested in accordance with my review policy. All opinions expressed are my own. https://teachingtechyt.github.io/reviewpolicy.html
I was so impressed by OpenScan, I made a donation here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/openscan

![Full colour first layers on your 3D prints part 2 - Laser and inkjet printers too!
Check out my 2nd channel, TT Racing: https://www.youtube.com/@TTRacingYT
Johan from Nerds.ph has created an amazing process that combines full colour 2D printing with 3D printing, using sublimation. In part 2 of this guide,we test ways to avoid the need for a sublimation printer, by utilising regular colour laser and inkjet printers. I also test out some of your suggestions from part 1.
