A week ago I got my first 3D printer. I have never printed anything or seen a print in person before. It feels like magic. Like unlocking a new world of potential never thought possible before.

The last two times I had this feeling were when the internet came around and when I (sort of) understood bitcoin.

I also already see it changing my shopping behaviour. Today, I saw a little herb growing appliance in the supermarket which I thought of buying for a second, but then saw the price and was like "Wait what, 10 bucks? Imma print my own." 😃

Creation vs consumption. And once you get a CAD platform "between your fingers", it's just like saying good bye to fiat.

Ain't no hobby, it's independence!!! Well done 🥳🎉

Thank you 😊 Yes, suddenly being capable of self-producing a lot of things really gives independence. It just adds one dependency to filament providers haha 😃 JK. It feels awesome right now.

I have zero knowledge of 3D modeling or CAD yet. I installed Blender but haven't dared to start it yet 😅 I already have an idea of a small model mod though - can you recommend any software? Preferably one running on Linux, I don't use anything else 😅
