Just saw that today, photo shoot went wild
Here’s some other pics from it:

I worked at a place with vending machines, and we completely lacked any ownership of them. Money stolen and need a refund? Call the number on the posted machine. If you paid in cash, no luck. This seems like that to me.

What are your thoughts about the extending stylus for the original model 3ds? They weren’t particularly long, but it’s something up on the plain plastic ones.
Heheh, it kinda did 😅 I had to take off the back cover (which, luckily, is removable on this model) to get it out.
True, and that’s the most important part. I learned a lot today, too, like how you can’t use organic supports with variable layer height (which is a huge bummer!) and how to add connectors to a split part in prusa.
Here’s my results:
From top to bottom in pictures:
The 45 degree one was really poor quality on the bottom… and the back part snapped when I was trying to remove supports. It likely would’ve been a bit stronger printing with taller layers, but the bottom edge seems tricky to support regardless.
The horizontal one turned out well. The bottom side has a rough finish from where the supports connected, but I think being more picky about painting on supports and giving that side a quick shave after printing would fix. The tip is still pretty smooth, to my surprise! Also, this printed twice as quick as the vertical one, since I didn’t have to slow any movements. I can’t break this one even if I try— it’s super strong, the bridge included. Just bends. That said, the nub on this one is more of a nub than a bump, a bit sharper. Between that and the surface on the bottom, it doesn’t fit in my 3ds without doing any shaving or sanding. However, the “tail” part, which shows in the 3ds, is smoothest off-the-bed in this orientation.
Lastly, I printed another vertical one because I wanted to figure out why the bridge at the bottom wasn’t complete in the sliced model:
My solution was reducing the “minimum perimeter width” for the Arachne generator down to 50% (of the nozzle diameter) from 85%. Anyways, this print has a smoother, shinier finish along the shaft and tip. On this print, the nub near the bottom is more of a gradual bump compared to the horizontal one. With this print, though, as the height increases, you can see a bit of wobble and there is a Z-seam running up the shaft. Also, I don’t trust bending this stylus very much, especially the bridge part, since that’s what broke first last time. Seems sturdier this time with the perimeter change, but only a bit. And finally, the “tail” is the roughest here, since it’s the part that was connected to the raft. It’s probably worth sanding it down to get a good finish there.

Anyways, I’ve learned a lot in this process. And now I can play Ace Attorney with a stylus again!!
Super small youtuber, but I really look up to TyraLore. Her videos are all about the Minecraft Create mod, but her way of explaining everything, as well as her creativity in her survival series, have really inspired me to play Minecraft again.
Huge inspiration for me!
Haha, welllllll fwiw I had to tinker with slicer settings for a few iterations before 😅 keeping the raft in place for the top layers was a bit tricky.
Definitely would’ve been easier to print (less tinkering with slicer settings), too. But I think because the layer time was so quick, it’s surprisingly well-bonded.
That’s still the first direction it’s snap in, but I think it’s good enough for my use-case.
It’s finished!
The creator of the model replied below with links! I highly recommend this model if you need a stylus, it’s working great!
I should’ve been a bit more careful with where I put support material— one side of the bridge part is a bit bumpy. But it still works, so I can’t complain too much. Also, the bottom part where it connected to the raft is a bit rough. Might be worth lightly sanding it down so it’s a nicer finish when stashed.
Yeah… the way they treat developers and monetization is super scummy. Not to mention their lack of action towards child safety concerns. There’s definitely better ways to spend my time.
