      I’ve been 3D printing for six years, and for the first time I actually printed something which falls under the technology’s past hypothesized mass-market use case of DIY additions & modifications around a home. Assuming that this can count as a typical DIY household situation...pic.twitter.com/7Uq2X1Bqc6

      For anyone unsure, it’s the plastic stand in the middle which I’m using to stack the pots on top of each other. I’ve been tempted to start 3D printing the pots themselves, but that wouldn’t offer as obvious of a practical benefit (ie. saving space).

      What machine and software do you use? How much does it work out to per gram?

      A Monoprice IIIP. I 3D model in Rhino (my default choice since it’s so heavily used in architecture) and then I use Cura to prepare the print files. I’d have to look up the weight; I don’t keep track of weight and cost since it’s pretty trivial for small + mostly hollow prints.

      Realize I should have clarified it‘s the Mini since I forgot how their naming system worked. Have a bigger printer I need to either fix or replace with a newer big printer, but paradoxically didn’t have time to figure that out when I could have made good use of it during school.

      Thinking of getting into either this or 2d laser cutting as a hobby

          There’s ofc. less risk involved for 3D printing (in terms of cost/time/planning) where the cheapest ones don’t cost that much money and don’t take up that much space. The only obstacle getting in the way of using one is familiarity with software.

          With laser cutting (which I’d love to have enough space to be able to do), you need to plan for ventilation, & the cost to get a laser cutter that’s of high enough quality to really be safe to use will be considerably higher vs. 3D printing.
