    I can imagine - I used a Printrbot LC back in the day and it was so difficult to get consistent results. Great learning experience but sometimes it was more frustrating than rewarding hahah. Seeing some of these newer models that work right out the box make me excited! (Although building one yourself is always more fun if you’ve got the time)

    The wall art is gorgeous! How did you get that smooth final metallic look? Or is that just how it looks on picture?

    Honestly that’s one of the coolest things about 3D printing - being able to create highly specific parts that could be impossible or impractical to source.

    I’ve heard that 3D printers are used to repair those terrifying “iron lungs” that some people are still depending on to survive. This is because some of the parts that break on them are literally not produced anymore!

    Wow really cool idea for the d&d design! When I used to do this stuff I was using the Printrbot LC and it was literally impossible to do something this advanced. Since it was all made of wood I think it just constantly would shift with all the heated elements, and end up a hair off. It was great experience but I didn’t get to anything really advanced with it.

    Also love the bird feeder. This is what I love about 3D printing!
