That's badass Hissman!
I got a 3D printer...

I had to look at these on Amazon after Jeff posted this, and I want one. Don't know what the hell I'd do with, but damn it's cool. Great reviews too.
Been there, can confirm: LOTS of super geeky stuff. I had a blast!
Awesome man, I have the Creality CR-10 ( my third printer). I just recently started printing with Carbon Fiber impregnated nylon(strong stuff compared to PLA, and ABS). I am using Fusion 360. I work in the machining world, and if you guys want to see where additive manufacturing is going go to a IMTS show (International Manufacturing Technology Show | IMTS 2020). One of the companies I work with (Blue Origin) is 3D printing Inconel right now, and machine finishing. Crazy how far it has come in a little amount of time.
Wow, Jeff, that is really impressive. I was not expecting to see an item that could have been in a package at the local toy store. Impressive!!
How much CAD experience do you need to do basic stuff with a 3D printer? Like, say I want to print an angled back plate for my Ring doorbell to make it fit nice on my 4" vinyl siding? I actually bought a backplate from a guy down south who 3D printed it. It fit perfectly and looks awesome. I was just curious how much CAD knowledge is needed to make custom parts.

Cool stuff. Someone out there printed some AR lowers but I do not know how good they held up.
I've been to IMTS 3 or 4 times now. That show is so big and amazing. Additive manufacturing has made leaps and bounds the last 5 years. Companies are already, forget plastics, using metal AM for production purposes. Michelin being one of the biggest names.
I'm very anxious to see how we can use AM in the very near future for production. We have several big SLA machines, but only for prototypes. We have to move quick into using the technology for everyday parts in low volume SKU's.
Edit: If I play my cards right, my next job with us will be leading our initiatives for AM and other innovative material and manufacturing practices. I'm excited for the opportunity.

Hahaha
you really don’t need much experience. There are some really good YouTube tutorials out there.
That's really cool, Jeff. So, I was talking to a friend of mine tonight about 3D printing. He was saying you basically use a scanner tool to prep the 3D printer. Is that true? And that for a working setup you'd need a 3D printer, monitor and scanner minimally. I know nothing about 3D printers.
Outstanding!!! Very cool sir.

Ok. This has piqued my interest 3 bills ain’t bad for a 3D printer.
That's an amazing result from a $300 home printer! Very cool.
When I ordered a Roush vent mount pod a few years back for a boost gage it took forever to arrive. Apparently Roush couldn't keep up with sales? Of course once it was ordered and paid for I read on a forum somewhere that you could buy them on Ebay for half the price. Some guy 3D printing better fitting pods at home.
You are clearly talented. Go forth and make $Millions.
