Hi All! My name is Art and I recently found the love for 3D printing by total accident.
My good friend Mike had been trying to get me into the hobby for years, but I kept telling him I would never use it. Then, one day when I was on vacation, we got together to share a few brews and stories, and he asked me for my address. I had no idea why, but of course, I told him and 2 weeks later my first 3d printer showed up on my doorstep.
It was a Bambu Lab A1 Mini. I was not really that interested, and it sat unopened in my house for over a month. One day I got bored and decided to open it… I set it up, watched a couple of videos on YouTube, and tried my first print.
I was immediately hooked! It was October 19, 2024, and this was my first print:
A tiny Horde keychain from World of Warcraft. I then printed a few other models I found on MakerWorld. At the time, I only had the Green filament, but a MicroCenter 2 hours away had recently opened and I decided I needed more than 1 color. My wife and I made a trip and… I came home with a lot more than I intended to.
While I was looking at the filaments, I saw the A1 Combo on display and thought I would really like a bigger printer than the A1 Mini, so it and about 10 rolls of filament came home with me.
After that, I was printing everything I could, loving the 4-color printer and wishing my Mini could do the same. About a month later, I bought the AMS Lite for my mini and started making all kinds of stuff!
Eventually I decided I wanted to print in more exotic materials such as Carbon Fiber infused stuff so I started saving up the cash I got from selling 3d Prints (Yes, I paid for commercial licensing on everything I sold) and was finally able to buy the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon Combo!
For months I had people telling me I needed to start selling online or to start a business. That leads me to here. Welcome to my site, and if you see something you like, or know of a 3D printed model you want, contact me and let me know. I am always happy to work out a deal. You can find 3D models at several places:
Just to name a few.
Also, if you need a custom 3D parametric print made, contact me. Either you design it and send me a .stl or .3mf file, or I design it (at a higher cost, of course) and print it in the material of your choice, I am sure we can work out a deal.
Thank you for your interest in our site!
