3d printing adventures volume 2. Part 1: door stop. Random model I downloaded was too big for my printer, so I shrank it without measuring. Shrank too much, so had to design and print a little pad to glue on. Well it works.pic.twitter.com/D78a8TcYYJ

You’re actually using a 3D printer in the way that all the people who were making the most utopian predictions about home 3D printing anticipated! Feel like I haven’t seen very many people really try to do that, though I haven’t been looking.
So how do people use it then? This feels like the obvious stuff to try first. I do have designs in mind beyond simple spare parts and utility stuff, but not ready for that complexity yet.
So many home users seem to get lost in the spectacle of printing itself & making gimmicky objects (ex. like Star Wars characters or whatever) since they can. They might occasionally do functional prints, but those prints get less attention maybe in part due to online algorithms.
Ah crapjects kinda bore me. I have toys in mind to print, but mechanisms and procedural generation stuff, not action figures.
If you want to build structural stuff the material you use is incredibly important In the thermoplastics I would avoid PLA and ABS in favor of chopped-fiber-filled nylon or another higher-strength material
Yeah I’ll experiment with materials once I get the basic workflows down with PLA
