So I bought a 3D printer and this happened:
I started making things. Props, figures, helmets, functional stuff.... It goes on and on. I picked up an Ender-3 and have been super impressed with the quality for a sub $200 printer. The first thing I did was hook up a raspberry pi and use the Octoprint operating system to drive the printer.
The future is now. Hit me up if you'd like some things printed or designed.
Joining forums dedicated to 3D printing is always a smart move, since they’re filled with people discussing tips, hacks, and real experiences that can save you time and frustration. From troubleshooting printers to sharing successful projects, communities keep the learning curve from feeling overwhelming. For example, 3d printable files offers not only a marketplace for STL files but also a hub where ideas and designs fuel creativity. When forums and marketplaces connect, it becomes clear how powerful collaboration is in making 3D printing more than a hobby—it becomes a culture.
