My first 3D printer

avatar

Sparing you talk about how ive not posted much lately, got some nice things to post about going forward, when not memeing or posting about depressing stuff.

I learnt not long ago how cheap modern 3d printers are now and what you can do with them.

Got an ender 3 pro, loving it.

This was my very first succesful print i believe aside from the precompiled g.code on the flash card. Its for squeezing toothpaste and such.

Soon succesfully did this testprint:

Definately having fun and learning rapidly.

Will going forward also post links to the .stl if posting pictures so you can do it yourself if you want to :)

I have a flashforge adventurer 3, and love 3D printing. I started out downloading stl files like puzzles and characters from thingiverse too, but then discovered how to design them myself with fusion 360. I now design my own hooks and other things headphone stands and really practical things that need a custom design.

Good luck 3D printing it is harder than it looks and most of all have fun.

It is. And as a gamer i do appreciate challenge.
Havent managed to design stuff yet, in my head i would know how it should be to be easy enough to print by now, but like drawing in 3d on a 2d surface which is what i have to do if i want to design on a PC seems pretty hard to do. I mean, i can think of ways to do it, just select the space you want lookiing at it one way, then rotate the camera and click on the line of possibilities that you couldve meant to narrow it down to a point, right? Doesnt appear to be how any of the software does it.

Yeah it takes a while to get used to drawing in CAD packages, good luck with it.
