Figured I would join the conversation.

Besides the usual templates, my main 3d printing use with leatherwork is making lasts for boots.

I am currently playing around with ways to make a good test fitter that I can print and send a customer to try on to validate fit of a custom last, before cutting any leather.

Ideally, they do, but just putting them in a separate room is usually enough. Most of the newer models have a carbon air filtering system onboard, but still I wouldn’t put one in my bedroom

Same, honestly. I don’t know much about how they work, but I heard they need ventilation. Not sure I can be trusted with that lol

I haven’t messed with resin printers yet, but I want to get one. Sounds like you’ve made some really useful and cool stuff so far though!

I love my Ender 3 Pro. It’s not the fastest, but (after a few upgrades) it is reliable and efficient. It’s also quieter now, and because of the upgrades I can print faster than it did when I got it. I do want to get a better FDM printer, but I’m more concerned with size than speed (for printing larger models for costuming), so I’m looking at…

I actually started with a resin printer the Elegoo Mars. It produced really detailed models, but man was it messy to use. After that I got an Ender 3 v2, did some upgrades, and mainly used it for printing my patterns in thin sheets. I also printed some jigs, like a round corner cutting guide, a leather thickness gauge, and forms for wet…

I printed in PETG using 100% infill and then used a 5-ton manual clicker press to deboss the leather. I’ve used the same stamp over a dozen times now and it still shows no signs of wear.
