March 2023 UFO - Alien3D

Heya! So I know it’s not much, an extra sample, but I wanted to include a little extra something this month as an apology for all of the craziness that has happened lately with missing projects and late boxes due to missing accessories.

Someone told me recently that my customers aren’t important to me – and that’s simply not true AT ALL. You all are everything to me – with everything that’s gone wrong since starting the UFOs, anyone in their right mind would have probably given up by now. What I post on social media is only a fraction of what I go through to get these boxes out every month. If I didn’t care, I’d give up. I’m passionate about Alien3D, the UFOs, and the 3D Printing community. I screw up, but I do my best to fix things. Do I always do or say the right things and handle every situation to perfection? Absolutely not. Everything I do though, I do with my whole heart.

So thank you all, whether you’re new and don’t know at all what I’m talking about lol – or if you’ve been with me for a bit and continue to support me on this adventure. You all truly mean the world to me.

Filament Samples

All filament samples are at least 20 meters in length (actually more, I increased the length to eat up the extra filament being left behind on the rolls)

Those looking for a sample spooler, MadMonkey designed this one and it's been my favorite so far https://www.printables.com/model/36621-expandable-sample-spool-holder

Accessory

5 Pcs Hex Driver Set

H1.5, H2, H2.5, H3, H4 Hex Drivers - Who doesn't need more hex drivers? I always get the L shaped ones with printers though, and always wanted some screwdriver type for easier turning. I hope you like them!
