I am Andreas, a Boomer, from the Aachen area and have always been technically interested. After graduating from high school, I completed an automotive mechanic apprenticeship and then went on to get a Master's in Mechanical Engineering. However, I already financed my studies with software development and thus became a professional software developer, which is what I still do today. I always found 3D printing exciting and followed its development. When the H2D came out, I jumped on the combo (without the laser). The learning curve is steep, but it's a lot of fun
