Some stuff I wish someone told me earlier:<br><br>when refilling filament, only open the straps after securing the refill in the spool<br><br>For supporting large uniform pieces like on the lampshade, regular support instead of tree support is better. Tree support is very good with organic rounded shapes<br><br>When switching between PLA and PETG, I like to do a little extra purge because I had issues with layer adhesion (PLA and PETG are not compatible). I just add a small 20mmx200mmx1layer cube in the slicer and set it to print first

For the wall filament lamp, get a huge poster of an old fashioned clear lightbulb printed and hang that where the filament of it is.

For your single filament wall lamp, add another clip to it. At the moment you have 5 clips, which means you have 4 'loops', which don't look balanced. So, if you had an even number of clips, you'd have an odd number of 'loops' which would look more balanced.<br><br>Anywho, thank you YT algorithm, you have a new subscriber.

What an excellent video, thank you very much. Not only did you produce some fantastic pieces, your humor throughout was a pure joy. This is my first time here; I couldn’t sub fast enough!

For the wall lamp I would put a huge magnetic erase wall there and make the mounts for the lamp magnetic so you can move it all you want.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVTMBJnRY-o&t=104">1:44</a> you're supposed to remove the plastic straps AFTER you've put it on the spool...

Have you published that 80mm led model anywhere? I was thinking of printing that in translucent PETG (maybe even in vase mode)? TY
