Â*Â* Apologies if this shows up twice ...

Â*Â* Our loving youngest son has given me a 3D printer for Christmas ...
Merry Merry ! Now I have to learn how to use it . He's given me a
couple of links and program suggestions , but I'll be needing more
information on these things and maybe some project suggestions . I
haven't even opened the box yet and I've already came up with an idea
to prank my neighbor and good friend up the road ...



Saaah-weet!

My son has been playing with a 3D resin printer for a while.Â* He's done
one project for me, but mostly he prints fantasy miniature figurines for
hand painting.Â* He's become quite a good fine detail painter for such
things.

The project he did for me was to print some resin master molds which I
used to pour silicone molds which I used to cast resin fishing poppers.
Â*They catch fish.Â* I'm not suggesting that you make fishing lures, but
rather that 3D printing can be an end process or a supplemental process.



My son is a gamer ... he uses his 3DP to print miniatures for his
gaming . I'm not sure where this will lead , but I'm pretty sure I'm
going to enjoy the trip !
