I have a SS 4x4 and 5x5, both aren't in use anymore. Since there are summer holidays for me now, I have quite a lot of free time :) What mods can you recommend doing? I don't have a lot of experiences with modding, so which puzzles are easy and fun to make?

Tools I have are: dremel, sandpaper, hacksaw, file, (spray paint?)

So as the title states I would like to get started 3D printing puzzles and eventually start designing some, but first I need a 3D printer and the materials. Does anyone have good suggestions for a reliable 3D printer and what sort of plastics I should use? Any help and/or suggestions would be nice :)

Best to use a service like Shapeways or I.materalise since the quality is far higher. As far as I know even Oskar van Deventer doesn't have a printer.

Hello.
I am a beginner cube modder from Sweden, and there is only one major cube shop here.

I am interested in making a 5x5 barrel modification, I looked around on YouTube and figured out that people use the Shengshou 5x5 for this mod. Only problem is that my local cube shop doesn’t sell that puzzle.

I was wondering if the Cyclone Boys works instead? Or if not, what other 5x5 could work except the YJ?

Thanks!

I was wondering what 3x3s are the best for making mods. I want to make a barrel mod. I have a QiYi Thunderclap that I am considering using but I have heard that the QiYi Sail is a good puzzle for mods. The issue is I can't find a sticker set for the QiYi sail on thecubicle. I have not made mods before so any help is appreciated!

(Not sure if it's good thread for this question)
What are great projects to start modding? I want to start with something easy, without 3D printed extensions etc. I thought that I may do some Siamense Cubes, Fused cubes and (maybe) Square-0.
