My journey into 3D Printing started back in February. I received a new promotional email from RadioShack. The last video in a series was of Jason from Friday the 13th. It had Jason using a device to print out a copy of one of the employee's house key. It was a hilarious commercial, I think I watched that commercial three times just for the laughs but something about that machine stuck in my head and I wanted to learn more...
About a week later, I thought it would be cool to have that machine. I went to RadioShack's
website to find out what that device was. A 3D printer! The cost was way too much,
just under $2,000. I think that would make it the most expensive thing that RadioShack
has ever sold. I don't know how your financial situations are but, I'm not buying
that! So I started searching the Internet for a cheaper more affordable printer
cause, "I'm not paying a lot for that muffler". Looking up different models, check
out the reviews and compare the prices. A lot of them, I would say 70%, were crap!
Either breaks down after a little while, over-
I thought about it for two more days. Then it dawned on me, "If I can't buy it, can I build it!?" YES YOU CAN!! And that sparked my research into 3D Printing. Once I adjusted my focus from buying a printer to building one, I began to get better results. I ran across YouTube videos, a few images here and there of people showing what they have created with their printers', which made me want one even more.
After a few days I realized that there were different type and designs of printers. Now I have to do a little research on each design. Find articles and videos on people who have done reviews on certain models, so I can find one that fits me.
Which one do I choose….?
