a 3D printer 02/06/22
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I finally broke down and bought a 3D printer. Our youngest has
been fiddling with Blender, and he's getting pretty good... so, I
thought, he ought to start tinkering with 3D printing. The printer
isn't an expensive one, but they've improved over the years (a while
back I bought one for a work project, and it was a finicky thing with
way too many parts. This one went together easily and properly,
without any fighting.
The print quality has improved too over that last venture. Still a bit
testy about the bed leveling and whatnot, but it does seem to work
mostly. My son is getting a kick out of it, and that alone makes it
worth it.
Now to commission him to make components for weird projects...
