Box-o-Things
Anyone who owns a 3D printer knows the drill. After weeks even months of learning, calibrating, testing, trials and errors, ends up with a box-o-things. Mostly worthless bobbles and trinkets but hey, you made them or at least printed them so I guess everything is worth keeping.
The funny thing is you remember printing every single one of them, what you did right, what you did wrong and what you need to do next time. It’s a process.
No doubt it’s a long learning process but fun none the less. Fortunately PLA and ABS is cheap enough that you can pretty much go crazy and not worry about it.
I tend to get board easy so the thing I like about 3D printing is the fact that it’s endless projects and endless learning.
