AMAZING 3D Printed Faux Stained Glass - Resin Art Guide

3D Print and add some Resin to create some amazing pieces of stained 'glass'.

I’m Lewis and we’re going to be diving into the fantastic world of 3D-printed stained glass creations filled with gorgeous, colourful resin! 🌈🪟

These are great fun to create on your own alongside other makers and make for fantastically gift-able personal items.


You can use this technique to create stained 'glass' sun catchers, windows, bookmarks, signs, and more. 

I'll show you step by step how to create these amazing stained glass like marvels with the help of your 3D Printer and some free design files (don't worry if you can't print your own templates - I'm selling a limited number through my Etsy store if you need them). 🙂

At the end of the video, I will also show you how to create your own design files, using the free version of Fusion 360 either form your hand drawings or using generative AI such as ChatGPT!

In this video, I’ll show you how to set up sensorless homing using a TMC2209 stepper driver — no mechanical limit switches required! Perfect for 3D printers, CNC machines, robotics, and other DIY electronics projects. I’ll guide you through the wiring, Arduino code, and how to tune StallGuard for accurate, reliable homing. Whether you’re building a CoreXY, a custom motion control system, or just want to learn more about stepper motor drivers, this is a great place to start. Let’s build smarter! Why would we want to use sensorless homing? Well first the Pros…. There’s no need for extra mounts, additional components or running long dangling cables to one or both ends of the carriage or other moving component. And there are always cons, so in this case you’ll need a stallguard-capable driver (they cost a little more and are only manufactured by Trinamic) and accuracy isn’t great at slow speeds.
