I run all my spools through this dryer as soon as I unwrap them and again before I use them. Maybe I'm overly paranoid, but I've had a few prints fail from wet filament so now I just do what works for me. This works.

This is my favorite build plate, I use it all the time - as a matter of fact, I have four of them because I'm also impatient and don't like to wait for stuff to cool down.

I love this PETG. I've purchased this exact color 4 times already. I've been using it to print tree tags for our 200+ trees and it looks great and has lasted outdoors in the midwest for several years now.

These are life savers for clamping onto the end of your beading thread. It holds it in place with some heft and also keeps your beads from just falling off the other end. I love that they have bright ends so they're easy to find too.

Love this for figuring out bracelet layouts.

Miyuki are my favorite seed beads. If you find a fave, just stick with it because if you flip flop and are in the middle of a project, don't assume a size 11 from one brand will match a size 11 from another. I know they SHOULD, but they don't always. Consider yourself warned.
Miyuki Round Rocailles Seed Beads – Size 11/0 (2mm), Metallic Light Bronze, 23 g, Made in Japan
These are the BEST crimp beads, hands down. Seriously, don't mess with all the other million types out there. These win.
