Getting into 3d printing has been a goal of mine ever since I started reflecting in A desire to do more engineering, where I decided I wanted to pivot slightly to improve design skills, and possibly apply some of the things I am learning in the world of CS to be more practical.

I believe we are on the cusp of a revolution in consumerism. We have gotten so used to buying every single cheap and small trinket we see online, just because they are cheap. This is a huge waste of mass production, and it has taken away our freedom to not only use what we need, but our ability to be creative and apply ingenuity.
