Of course I did. How could I avoid it. I tried for so long, saying “Oh that is too expensive” or “You don’t know the first thing about 3d design” or any number of things. Until the only one that was true (don’t lie) vanished. Suddenly, Seymour! Under 200 bones and I could be printing!

So I ordered an Anet A8 (of course you did john, of course you did) and started reading, watching and taking notes. I made spreadsheets (so predictable). I joined several youtube channels. (Jennifer A. Lewis, Toms3D, 3DMakerNoob, Maker’s Muse, and CNC Kitchen)
Some really cool stuff. Mostly what I saw were folks thinking and having fun.

So it arrived, I built it and clicked a few things for a while, inserted some stuff and picked the most complicated model that it came with…

It did not end well…
