Picolino extruder toolhead — one of the most compact and lightest toolheads out there.
Enjoy the eye candy. 🔥

I'd rather get a lobotomy than touch a Mac. But this is legit cool. Maybe there's redemption for Macs after all 🤣
If you also have an old MacBook collecting dust 💻
I made this tool to run Klipper host NATIVELY on MacOS👇

Stratasys jury verdict: $27.6M against Bambu Lab for willful infringement of 4 patents (purge towers + force detection). Patents held valid. Bambu disputes. First of two Texas cases.

Deal is too good not to share! If you’re fortunate enough to live close to a Micro Center — Inland PLA Basic is $7.99 each when you buy 10+ rolls (mix & match).
Not affiliated with them in any way, shape, or form.
Only 12 Picolino gears left ⚙️
After that your extruder goes back to being average.
Beta chaos included.
TPU still prints like it owes me money.

What’s harder — designing the toolhead or eliminating the last 0.01 mm of motion system error?
Currently living in the second one.
Picolino is happy. Zero Gravity X is not.

Cameras, calipers and touch probes… oh my!
Will this obsession with micron-level accuracy on the Akula 3 + Picolino extruders ever end?
Who else is chasing the same rabbit hole? #3DPrinting #IDEX #Akula3
Just dropped a full Picolino XY offset calibration guide.
I wanted something I can actually feel and measure with calipers (not just look at). Includes the floating Benchy test + the exact spreadsheet method I use.

Akula 3 Input Shaper results
X: MZV @ 51.4 Hz
Y: 2hump_ei @ 91.8 Hz
Clean peaks, near-zero residual vibration. Still more tuning to do, but these look solid.

Stronger prints, less filament?
I created a feature request for **Corrugated Walls** in OrcaSlicer — wavy walls that give better structural performance without needing 6–7 wall loops.

Happy 4th of July everyone! 🇺🇸🎆
Just finished this little 3DBency on my Magnetic IDEX, ZGX and Picolino Extruder setup — with 242 tool changes!
How long do you think this print took?
Cheeky answer: 4 YEARS 😂
Because that’s how long I’ve been developing Magnetic IDEX.
What’s your guess for the actual print time? Drop it below!

Here's an idea for the @real_OrcaSlicer team: Use the Ripple texture (Fuzzy Skin) to create corrugated walls.The corrugations can be sinusoidal or trapezoidal to achieve different effects.Simply sandwich the ripple texture between two or more smooth walls for an extra chunky, yet ductile wall. Examples attached 👀 What do you think?
