Would love to see some of your prints on here! When I was younger my dad and I built a 3D printer, and I loved it. Since then I haven't had the funds/time/space to get back into it but as that was like 12 years ago, I know 3D printing has gotten much higher tech.

My parents had their current house built - an awesome oak framed building. I got the frame design from the architects and turned it into a 3D printed jigsaw.

Each beam had a bit on the end that plugged into the relevant socket (with a little bku-tacto help in some cases)

I had done no 3d modeling previous to this, and practically none after. Took me months, awesome though!

That's such a cool idea!
