I got pretty into 3D printing in 2022. Here are some things I've learned. Be aware that the industry moves very quickly, and this information is likely to go out of data within a few years. You'll see the word "fusion" a lot, but despite my earnest prayers it never means nuclear fusion. | I got pretty into 3D printing in 2022. Here are some things I've learned.

3D printing is incredible technology capable of shifting one's personal paradigm. When it all works out, you feel like a god, willing material and matter into configurations of your own desire. Other times, you go to sleep with a fourteen hour print queued up. Fifteen minutes later, the nascent print is uprooted from the print bed, and begins to move along with the extruder. Twenty minutes after that, the growing nest of crap rotating around the print bed reaches up to the nozzle like so much thermoplastic diarrhea, and the nozzle jams. Yet the print must go on, and the extruder continues to unspool your filament. Perhaps a Roomba will catch it, and they'll clash for the title of Most Infuriating Product. | 3D printing is incredible technology capable of shifting one's personal paradigm.
