First 3D Printer - Mediaicon - Mar 19, 2022
Just finished setting up and configuring 3D printer. Suggestions on first thing to print?
Thinking of some building for my campaign. But open to suggestions. Anyone know a search for STL files other than the usual suspects

I have a buddy who is super into printing random stuff. I had him make me a few Onix. I like them.

Congrats on the printer OP. You should make a topographic globe.

one of my friends has one at his work and loves it. makes all his ideas for products on it

People start by printing the boat (benchy) then getting their printer to a point where it prints things decently.
After that, I recommend printing some little upgrades for your printer like new parts and a little storage bin and other things.
After that, I would try printing nic nacs and small gifts.

How much did you pay for it? Also why did you buy it? I never used one but was thinking to buy one. However, I don't know what it's good for. I wanted to buy one to prototype concepts for products but the more I looked into it the more I found that it's not really good. It's good to the point to test out Ideas at the start but not actually good for production / final versions Which needs to be made in a factory to get the final version before production. I then hold off on buying them because was going to buy an expensive one that can weld metals. I just held off because none so far can do a final proof of concept version to get real tests done.

I've actually wanted one for so long.
One of the things I wanted to print was almost like a custom stand/holder for my Ledger.

Which one did you go for? I actually have a small farm that makes me good side income as well :)

It's an Ender 3 v2 with a cr touch leveler. All in I paid $500 Canadian. So far it is pretty straight forward and I have printed a few items (first thing was an image made to test resolution, accuracy and overhang). I would recommend buying if you can. It is fun to watch items 'cone to life'

Ender 3 v2 got a cr touch and metal extruder kit as well. And a roll of pla plus.
Side income? Now I am interested.

Did you get around to using yours yet Omniscient ?

Yeah, I plan to buy one for my company to prototype products. I need something that can work with metal and can do some welding.
I have been looking for one but cannot find it. I want a 3d printer that can do some 7 or 8 layer PCB work.

Do you mean the fabrication like the desktop metal studio 3d? $8000 - $400 000 is a bit out of my price range.
Would love some footage of this thing going if you get one... please send video ;)

A gun, that's what I'm getting mine for.
RE: First 3D Printer - TaskMgrCrashes - Mar 23, 2022
Try and print some mechanical stuff, or design it yourself.
I learned a lot from trying to make a pen launcher.

OP you should print a 3D printer so you can sell your initial investment
