If you would like a quick summation of what goes INTO 3D Printing you can watch this video i made : How to 3D Print!īut don't stop there! Check out more resources like The 3D Printing Nerd and Makers Muse! Dozens of facebook groups and forums to browse to help you get ready before you even make the purchase. And let me tell you about the 3D Printing community it's HUGE! So many people are willing to help and talk and guide you through nearly anything. But by no means are they HARD to learn again it boils down to commitment and drive. They don't always "just work" they take some time to understand and learn. They aren't an appliance like a microwave or a tool like a power drill. Do your research!īut please do not fall into the trap that so many others do! This is still a growing hobby! These are ENTRY level hobby printers! No, they don't need to be 100% assembled like the Anet A8 (nor do they catch fire like the A8) they still have a learning curve that some aren't ready for. I personally went with the Creality CR-10S but other similar volumes exist across Creality and other brands like Artillery, Tevo, and Sunlu. I HIGHLY suggest a printer around 300X300X400 build volume. It's not impossible but not very practical. While you CAN do it, you will drastically increase the amount of prints, the amount of parts you need to fuse back together, the amount of time spent printing and much more. It's cheap! With an q uality printer being less that $200! And yes! People make entire suits with that single small printer! Now, i wouldn't recommend that however. Game on!ģD printing technology has made a quantum leap in the past few years. Once you take the dive and start that's it. It's not CAN you do this but how much do you WANT to do this. Now, being comfortable using a computer and possibly have a slight mechanical inclination will pay out in spades but this all boils down to commitment level. But again, this only gives me a head start, not an advantage in any way. I've also been building Gundam Models for YEARS so working with plastic and small details is second nature. I'm very familiar with 12v electronics, painting and bodywork. I've grown up with a heavy background in the car world. While certain skills obviously put you ahead in some aspects nothing i've needed to do through this was something that took months or years to learn. What do you need to do this? How hard is 3D printing? Do you need to know how to design? Draft? Paint? Wire? What does into this? To be honest you don't really need to know much of anything to start. Along with the reasons I did certain things. I'm not too sure on where to exactly start so i'll try to summarize what i think is each aspect of this suit and build.
