<p>Lots of fun with a bubble straw that produces a ton of bubbles for the kids.</p><p><strong>Use: &nbsp;</strong>Make sure the tip of the straw is submerged in the bubble solution for best performance. See the photo with the red line.</p><figure class="image image-style-align-left image_resized" style="width:29.94%;"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/86698/rich_content/e1751dc6-5f7c-4dee-a987-144df4398375/img_20211112_095454.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22b442fd4c-71f2-4681-a1dc-0f2e390e220e%22%2C%22w%22%3A2223%2C%22h%22%3A3037%7D"></figure><p>I've included the .3MF that uses the default Prusa slicer setting on MK3s for 0.3mm in PLA.
