About
No storefront, no sales pitch — just a place to track what I'm learning about 3D printing and CAD design, and hopefully help another beginner skip a few mistakes.
I bought my first 3D printer expecting to print a couple of phone stands and call it done. Instead I ended up down a rabbit hole — learning CAD software, tuning slicer settings at midnight, and slowly getting better at turning ideas into physical objects.
This site is where I write it down. Partly for myself, so I remember what worked. Partly for anyone else starting the same hobby, so the learning curve looks a little less intimidating than it did for me.
On the bench
A budget-friendly FDM printer with a direct-drive extruder — great for learning without a huge upfront investment.
Fusion 360 for parametric modeling, with Tinkercad in the mix for quick, simple designs.
Open-source slicing software — still tuning profiles for every new filament I try.
Every failed print taught me something a successful one didn't. Writing it up forces me to actually understand what happened instead of just re-slicing and hoping.
