I was first introduced to 3D printing over 10 years ago back in 2015 in my high school engineering and robotics classes. Back then, a part of our course curriculum was to use Auto Desk Inventor and Auto cAD to design parts for engineering projects and other small items like tops and polygons. I took it a step further and designed my own prints for a headphone hanger for under my desk and a Nintendo 3DS charging dock.

Back then, 3D printing was not as accessible. Designing parts, getting them printed without an issue and then clearing support material with an acid wash was a multi day process, but it was awesome. I had thought about going into CAD and product design as a career for a little while but enjoyed coding more than 3D modeling.

Fast forward over 10 years later, I recently just bought a Bambu A1 after seeing my buddy Daniel get one and talk about it. His enthusiasm reignited my interest and passion and I purchased a 3D printer to start tinkering with again. Below are some of the creations I have printed so far!
