Right on! It’s a neat feeling for sure, seeing your creations come to life, and it’s all uphill from here too! You never forget your first printed model.

Mine was when I was in college, I created a set of rims for an RC car in my solids class, and the reward for the projects best design was I got time on the schools printer to create them. You should have seen this contraption, thing basically looked like a coca-cola vending machine, it was roughly about that size too. It was quite a sight, but for the time it was a super big deal. Real cutting edge. Probably took 30 hours to print what my Bambu could burp out in under a half hour.

If you told me back then I’d have a machine 20 times as capable, and a tenth of the size on the workshop of my bench at home 25 years later, for under $1k, I’m not sure I’d have believed you. Real story.
