I finally bought what I had wanted: a 3D printer. Initially, I assumed 3D printers would be challenging to use. However, after watching people on the internet using them, I began to feel it might be easy. Then, something nudged me: a second-anniversary sale at Bambu Lab. By the time I noticed, the sale was about to end in a week.
"All right! Now's the time to buy it!"
I bought a Bambu Lab P1S 3D Printer, four filaments, and a 0.2mm nozzle.
I immediately began creating shapes using 3D graphic software. It was exciting, but unfortunately, the COVID virus disrupted me. Suddenly, my motivation dropped, and I was unable to work due to illness. It took about ten days to recover. It was an awful experience. While I had a fever and was too sluggish to move, I could only stare at the ceiling and envision new designs for the 3D printer.
I recalled an idea I'd long imagined—it was the perfect time to bring it to life. The 3D printer is more accessible than a CNC router for realizing my ideas. Unlike the noisy CNC router, which restricts night use, the 3D printer offers convenience at any time. How convenient!
The 3D printer also proved handy for creating new jigs. My husband asked me to make some jigs for the CNC router. Making them from timber would have taken much longer, whereas the 3D printer produced them quickly. We should have purchased a 3D printer sooner indeed.
I plan to showcase my 3D-printed creations here someday.
