This is my personal meme page, where 3D printing, bad jokes and questionable decisions come together.

With fuel prices expected to rise again, it’s becoming cheaper to stay home and enjoy your 3D printer.

Here’s a sneak peek at a few of the new PLA Silk colours we’re getting ready to add to the range.

Hopefully, they’ll make it onto the website before the next fuel price hike… because if you’re going to spend money on something that shines, it might as well be PLA Silk instead of the fuel light on your car!

Apparently, AI is ruining advertising… so I decided to use the most advanced technology available: a pen and my own handwriting.

And yes, that’s actually my handwriting. No AI involved.

Now, back to selling filament.

It’s been a while since I last posted… 😅

Let’s just say moving house and renovations have been giving me more layers than a 3D printer!

But enough about the dust and paint…

If your plants are still stuck in those boring plastic nursery pots, it’s time for an upgrade! Why settle for ugly when you can print them a home worthy of showing off?

These beauties were printed using our Oak Wood Filament, giving them a stunning natural wood look without sacrificing the fun of 3D printing.

Your plants deserve better. (They told me… well, they would if they could.)

Remember this?

Well… it finally showed up!

Our PPS-GF has officially landed, but it’s playing hard to get… we’ve only got 4 rolls available right now.

First come, first served! Drop me a WhatsApp @ 0763861405 before someone else beats you to it.

Quick update on our new stock!

Customs took one look at our shipment and basically said, “Nope. These are WAY too irresistible.
We’re keeping them for a little longer because… reasons.”

I’m pretty sure they’re throwing secret parties with our products right now. I’m over here begging, pleading, and offering to name their first born after our brand just to get it released.

I’ll update you the SECOND it’s in my hands (or the second I break them out of customs jail).
Thanks for your patience, you guys are legends. In the meantime, send positive vibes (and maybe snacks for the customs officers) my way!

Important Travel Update from Your Favorite (but Jet Lagged) Supplier

Hey legends! Just a quick heads up: website orders are going to be a tiny bit delayed while I’m zooming through the skies. Normal service resumes on Thursday.

I’m flying back to beautiful South Africa from China, and I’ve still got about an hour or three before takeoff. So if you’ve been meaning to place an order… NOW is the golden window… do it while I’m still on solid ground and full of pre flight optimism!

All the other orders will be processed the moment my feet touch home soil (after I recover from the epic sore bum I’ll have from flying economy the whole way… gotta save those rands for more cool filaments, right?).

Thanks for your patience, you’re the reason I keep doing this! ✈️🇿🇦

PLA Glow-in-the-Dark: Almost Here (We Swear)

Yes, we’ve all been waiting longer than it takes to finish a Benchy… but I assure you, it wasn’t delayed. It was simply making itself more exclusive.

This is a limited-edition patience test. We guarantee the glow will be worth the wait — or your money back!
(Fine print: No refunds, just emotional support memes and passive-aggressive encouragement.)

While this glowy legend is out there living its best international shipping life, feel free to visit our website to check out our other filaments.

Link drops the second these spools grace us with its presence.

We’re not late… we’re on filament time.
Deal with it.

FILAMENT FACT OF THE DAY

Did you know your fancy 3D printer filament gets a cold shower right after it’s made?

Fresh out of the extruder, it’s hot, sticky, and completely out of control. So they YEET it into a water bath to chill it out, lock in that flawless round shape, and make sure it stays a 1.75mm hottie. Instead of turning into a sad, wobbly spaghetti disaster.

Moral of the story: Your filament is cleaner than your ex’s search history and way more reliable.

No sag. No drama. Just perfect prints.
