Anyone else do 3D printing?

Been wanting to for years. Got myself a cheap Ender3 last month. No regrets. It has been awesome. Thought I'd just be finding stuf online to print, but foundit canbe alot of fun to design and much easier than I thought. Mostly do tabletop game stuff.

Nope cause I'm not able to do 3D drawing, and I suppose I will never be cause I find digital drawing so boring. XD Every time I start learning it I immediately drop it cause I can't take it anymore.

ALSO - Damn hell, a couple of years ago I funded a project on Kickstarter, about a 3D pen. There are already 3D pens on the market, I attended a small workshop-lesson about it in Bruxelles anyway this kick project was about a 3D pen who recycles plastic so it was really cool and interesting and worth the wait. So this project failed etc and 😥😥😥

@ViciDraco So you just take for free/buy projects from the internet and print them? Not bad I suppose but being an artist I'm more in the creative thing of it XD
Also may I ask what do you printed with it? Like something interesting, I'm just curiou.

I also envy another artist which I know, he used to be good with 3D drawing since many years, he works with it and now he's doing interesting stuff with a 3D printer, so he turned to sculpture. So cool.

@Sharky86 I'm a programmer, not an artist. So yes. Yes I do. But I have also I some of my own designs now using something called tinkercad. I have a picture in the other response here with some terrain tiles I've made for dungeons and dragons that are in the process of being painted. I'm also going to be making lithophanes as gifts.

@ViciDraco Cool I'm getting some interesting infos from your posts...
Thank you
I want my cool 3Dpen but also a printer LOL

I've been looking into it... although the cost of a printer is a bit intimidating. Do you do it for your own satisfaction or try to sell what you print?

But yeah, the up front price is intimidating. I got a cheap one for $230 after thinking about it for years

@ViciDraco Wow... nice!

MarkPaul · 26-30, M

@ViciDraco Yeah, I'm still thinking about it...

Did it back when it was called stereolithography.

@SW-User that is still a valid term, but it applies to a specific technique. Mine is an FDM format though, so I use the umbrella term.

@ViciDraco They've subdivided it all now, interesting. Back then it used to be the blanket term.
