I finally got a 3D printer. I have wanted one for probably 3 years now. This is one of the cheaper ones but good to get started and it looks decent. I plan to use this printer for prototyping and building parts for a model RC glider plane I'm working on. Lots of things here are new to me but I learn best by doing. #3dprinting

I'll be following your journey to learn more. I want one, but I'm not ready to pull the trigger.

Welcome to the club! You will be a hammer looking for a nail soon. I am always finding something to make or print. If you are making parts or modifications to items you already have, I recommend a 3d scanner as well! Crazy how cheap all of this awesome tech is now! Good Luck!

Thanks guy for the welcome. I will look into a 3d scanner as well. While housing is unaffordable and other necessities at least we can be happy that tools for creating stuff is more easily accessible to regular people 😁

I understand. I had that feeling for 3 years. Funny enough, I was a bit concerned about the wife looking at the 3d printer as just another money wasting "toy" for an adult child, but she is impressed by it (win-win).

They do it to keep us busy so we don't revolt. 😄

Cool, also started like 4 weeks ago. When I have some time I want to create my first own model. Currently I am only printing what I find on the Internet.

In 3d printing for over ten years now. The learning curve is steep, but even budget printers these days produce decent prints. Just go for it.

The budget printer is surprisingly Ok. I have found that TPU is hard to print without problems. I figured it out now, but had many failures.

TPU was hard on an original prusa mk3 in the beginning too. Didnt miss out on that.
