3D printing has been possibly the biggest revolution in home crafting and creation, especially as the cost of printers and materials has dropped to much more accessible levels. The ability to conceptualize an object, art piece, or mechanism, model it on a computer, and then have a machine in your own home create those modeled objects to a reasonably or even high degree of accuracy, with no shipping times, manufacturer turnaround, or extra costs besides your own materials, is nothing short of incredible.
But, whether you're modeling your own original designs from scratch, or downloading models made by others from sites like Thingiverse or Printables, it's still no effortless process. You'll need at least basic understanding of your choice of slicer program (what converts 3D models into instructions for operating your printer), possibly some modeling skills for tweaking downloaded models when needed (or more advanced skills for creating models from scratch), and the ability to perform basic maintenance on your printer(s) itself.
In the future, this section of the website will serve as a guide for various 3D printing-related topics. There'll be a proper tutorial for beginners to step into the world of both filament and resin printing, as well as an organized cookbook of sorts for more-seasoned printing enthusiasts to find ideas, fixes, and mechanical properties to advance their 3D printing projects.
