3d printing flippers stream
I am thinking of making a stream on Instagram tomorrow night at 8pm est.
More and more flippers are getting 3d printers, so i figure it would be fun to chat and hang out, talk printing tips ans best methods to print balisong things. I have spent near 4 years working on The Venue; a 3d printed balisong specific teardown tray, as part of Gearworks Fabrication. So I think I may be able to give you a few tips or shine some light on printing aspefts.
Let me know your thoughts with the poll, and ask questions if you got em.
Find me on Instagram under the same name.

Flytanium Talisong Z - scimitar and tanto
I’m new to flipping (about 6 months) and I have a few trainers. I decided it was time to take the next step and get two live blades I’ve had my eye on for awhile. I picked them up at the BladeHQ store front! Next on the list is the Krake Raken!
