3d printing

In general most people have a total misunderstanding about the whole process and it's boring explaining the basics

Is that so? I have a coworker who's into 3D printing and he basically created a whole keynote explaining the process and it got me planning to draft a proposal for my SO so I can get a printer.

It's a lot of fun but it's is roller coaster ride of ups and downs. I'd suggest a kit that lets you build it. So your better suited to fixing it 👍

I think this is really becoming mainstream. I've been punishing myself printing for two years now and aware of it for about 10 years and have seen quite the shift toward mainstream appeal especially with the new crop of printers coming out like the P1P/X1C that are supposed to remove a lot of the frustrating hassle and electronics/CNC knowledge that is/was required. These things were being made out of wood just a little over a decade ago! Now you can get a fully enclosed MMU CoreXY machine for the price of a smartphone. I really hope this extends to CNC and laser cutters soon.
