I started doing 3d printing when I built my first printer, a RepRap MendelMax (a-frame) hybrid (a blend of v1 and v2) back in 2012 when I was helping run JaxHax makerspace. From this I printed my second printer at the space, a Reprap Prusa Mendle (a-frame). Printing has long been a fun hobby of mine, I helped many people get into the hobby from printing parts kits to build their own to just helping them learn. I have a great time teaching and constantly learning the craft. Now its gotten super easy to do with the modern tools, and I'm glad to see so many people crafting and creating!
