Heaps of cool 3D printers at the Australian Manufacturing week at jeffs shed…I asked a heap of questions! FDM I think…to learn something with!

I assume you’re talking about plastic over resin, ye?

Love 3D printers and Fusion. Nothing super interesting, but the fact that I needed a bespoke part and from last evening to today I had sketched, prototyped and printed final part is kind of awesome! Loooove it!

Nice job mate, I love the idea of 3D printing but it’s just one of those rabbit holes I’m scared to wander down.
