The 3D-printer used was manufactured by 3Bfab. More information on their products can be found on their website: https://3bfab.com/ (not sponsored content - they did neither ask nor pay me to show their product)

DFTfringe software is programmed by Dale Eason. This is the link to his YouTube channel:    / @daleeason9687  
The software can be downloaded from:
