No but there should have been

I think so too, with that many custom bb’s in one place would of been nice to see what was said to be the best looking one...
Noticed in the pic, a couple of them near the back have no drip tip on, are people actually using them without a drip tip ?? Which I doubt to be honest so must be another reason for it...

Knew there was a good reason for it...

It's not really living up to the name of this thread (yet), but I thought I'd share it anyways.
A while ago I got myself a 3D printer and was literally unable to print BB panels, due to them warping all the time. Because of a whole lot of other problems that I've had with that thing as well, I got rid of it and got myself a better one, with great success so far:

I got those grey lines due to a mix of the white filament with some leftover black, but I think it looks kind of nice actually.
Still a fail after all, because the panel ended up being way to thick. It's as thick as the standard panels are at their thickest point, but the whole panel is that thickness. Still got some work to do...

Try printing upside down (rotate 180 degrees), as long as your plate is clean and use strong hold hairspray you should get a better finish and adhesion.

Yeah, since I printed that one I have got myself a glass and PEI bed to try out and with the glass I get incredible adhesion, even without any additional adhesives like glue or hairspray.
For example I recently modelled myself this little 60ml/100ml bottle stand (didn't find any premade ones that perfectly fit the dimensions I needed), and I tried to get it off while the bed was still warm - no chance. I actually went at it with a spatula trying to get it off (yes, I am that impatient), but didn't manage to do so with all my force.
After I waited for 20 more minutes for the bed to cool down it just popped off without any effort.
That's how it turned out:

It's nothing special but it does the job.
The bottom layer also turned out pretty much perfect, without any visible layer lines (just small dots from the pattern on the ultrabase glass-bed, but I actually quite like that), any imperfections one may see are from me stabbing at it with a spatula:

Yes, pretty offtopic, I know - I shall stay silent from now on
