Monthly Recap: March 2026

A snapshot of March and plans for April.

Published: April 3, 2026

In the Monthly Recap: February 2026 post, these were my plans for March:

Celebrating Pi Day and St. Patrick's Day; designing new models; sharing models (old and new) in the What to 3D Print in March article
Resuming my craft room organization attempts (and perhaps to other areas of the house!)
Starting to get ready for RMRRF 2026! Should I stick with my last MakerChip design or make a new one? 🤔

Read on to see how March panned out and what's coming in April!

March Highlights

Interviewed by pezliz on Twitch as part of a Polymaker program
Tidied up the craft room (mostly to have a presentable background for the interview) and reorganized the kitchen and pantry -- spring cleaning! ✨
Bought a Snapmaker U1 3D printer (use promo code karen_chau for 5% off at Snapmaker)
Published 3 new ducks; gave Glizzy a makeover
Reached milestone: 1k followers on MakerWorld

I was interviewed by pezliz on her show on 3/14 (Pi Day!) -- we were on the Legendary Women shelf on Twitch!

The recording of the main show will be available on the pezliz Presents playlist on YouTube.

For a limited time, you can watch the full VOD (with pre-show and post-show conversations) on Twitch.

My first print with the Snapmaker U1

The U1 came with black, white, red, and yellow filament (500g spools), so I decided to print a white Glizzy! 🌭🦎

Besides for the efficiency of it being a tool changer 3D printer, I love the window on the back to allow for these U1 POV shots!

Expect more U1 POV shots & Glizzy variations!
