I made this about a year ago and it's one of my favorite creations. Even though I made a mistake in measuring the bottom and had to cut out some slots. One day I'll print it again, but it used a ton of filament and took forever last time.

This is beautiful.

It might be the first thing that I have seen that makes me really want to have a 3D printer around.

Do you still need to minor in 3D printing to make them practical?

I know that might be an exaggeration, but I've heard they are a bit of a handful. One of my gaming buddies was really into them a few years back. Even as an IT guy, the way he talked about it made it sound like I would need to do a fair bit of research to make anything worthwhile.

I'd say 3D printing is as accessible as it's ever been. There's tons of options nowadays and there are quite a few "plug and play" printers. The hot new one on the block would be the Bambu printers. They have a range of prices and from what I've heard, are pretty easy to use. I haven't tried them because they are proprietary and I like Prusa for it's open source nature. I'm a tinkerer so I have no problem tearing apart and fixing things, as well as I enjoy adding custom mods to fit my needs.

Also, if you don't mind a bit of tinkering, you can get a decent printer for under $200 nowadays if you just want to dip your feet in at a low price. If you have a Microcenter near you, they often sell one of the Creality printers for $100 on sale.

Interesting. Thanks for your thoughts. I might need to at least dip my toes into the water before long.

Wow that’s crazy cheap, I had no idea

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah they have come down in price a lot and it's easy to get in at a variety of price points depending on what you want to do.
