I got started 3d printing in 2022 because I wanted "Proton Pack" for a Ghostbusters cosplay. I bought a cheap printer and jumped right in with no experience at all. within a month, I had a full size, nearly 100% screen accurate Proton Pack! In 2023 I decided it was time to upgrade, to THE BEST printers out there for personal use....I got a Bambu Lab! I am now learning how to 3d design basic items, and look forward to learning how to do more complex items!
