I got myself a 3D printer at the beginning of 2020 (even before the pandemic hit actually), and it has really opened up my ability to make stuff.
I try to mostly print useful things, but also spent over 150 hours of print-time making an awesome copy of Hextraction, so…
I currently have three (or 4, kinda) 3D printers:
- Ender 3: This was the first 3D printer I got, but it’s been broken for quite some time now and I haven’t had the motivation to fix it. But it got my into the hobby!
- Prusa MK3.5S (‘Natasha’): I really like my Prusa, it’s not perfect but does what I want from it, and with the upgrade to MK3.5S, actually does it fairly fast.
- Elegoo Neptune 4 Max (‘Bruce’): This printer is HUUUGE! I wholly recommend open-sourcing it with OpenNeptune if you get it.
- Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro (‘Tony’): Bruce’s smaller brother, it’s not perfect but I make it work.
