3D-Printers as household appliances

Sun, 25 May 2025 01:04:27 +0000

I am currently subscribed to a few different RSS feeds that provide news articles about 3D Printing. A few articles that I have read recently were talking about 3D-printed houses. I think these are great. I was researching them more out of curiosity than anything else, but found out there is a company local to me that does 3D printed housing in my area. This is definitely something I want to look into further at some point. If you can 3D-print a two story house, I am definitely interested.

I have not posted anything in a long time. I want to get better about that. I honestly feel like this is more of a journal than anything else but that is OK I guess.

I have a few things I want to work on in the future and a few projects that I want to talk about.

Most of my free time has been consumed by 3D printing lately so I haven’t been doing anything with the home lab.

Why Printables pushes me to learn!

There are many websites out there that allow you to download STL files for 3D-printing. However, one of them is my favorite to use. That website would be Printables. What does Printables do differently than the rest? A lot of things.

I found this site while in the process of researching 3D printers in 2023. I was initially interested in a Prusa printer for my first model due to its reputation for being reliable. On the Prusa website, they had a link to Printables and I looked at it and thought that it was cool that they integrated this site into the company website so it is easy to find. This may not be unique to Prusa but what is unique is some of the things that you can do on this website.

A 3D Printing Business Idea

Fri, 22 Mar 2024 16:10:22 +0000

Hello Everyone

I am not a business minded person but, recently I thought of one that I firmly believe would be successful. Recently I have gotten into the Maker and 3D printing hobby. I find myself working on different models quite often and printing almost 24-7.

During one of my larger multi-part prints, I found myself running out of filament. That is usually not a problem but, this particular filament is often sold out everywhere. I was able to find it in a large 2KG spool on Prusa3D to order. That is not a HUGE problem but due to this company being in Prague, it usually takes a little while to arrive here in the United States. Shipping is also incredibly expensive from Prusa’s website to the United States.
