I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn’t work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.
Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!
It went from stupid purchase to something I’d gladly replace if it broke.
A 3D-Printer, I thought I just play around with it and get bored, but you discover so many things that you can do!
The handle on the fridge broke? Print new ones. Need a Flowerpot? Just print one. The router needs a wallmount? I have one ready in a few Hours.
Also I can watch it print for hours, very fascinating and calming.
I got one to print parts for my drones thinking it would be no big deal and it turned in to a hobby in itself.
ventilate my dude. read up on breathing around your 3D printer while its printing. no bueno
Micro plastics making me feel spastic!
E: if you know the song I will give you a Lemon
So noob question - I got a 3D printer relatively recently and have printed a few things with it by downloading files from various websites.
How do you go about making or getting files for your specific custom jobs like these please?
I used FreeCAD to create my objects. It has quite a steep learning curve but it works for me.
I heard good things about TinkerCAD which should be easier to use for some quick ideas.
Wait until you start printing more printers
I remember literally watching it for an hour when it was new, it was fascinating.
