Hi there, I'm CiCi.

Yesterday I posted a topic: When did you start to 3D print?

We received a lot of great responses. Now I'm going to show you some representative comments. Let's check it out!

@Fear Grounds: I started printing about 3 years ago. Started out just interested in printing miniatures for tabletop games. Then I slowly began finding other useful and decorative things to print. Now I'll print pretty much anything imaginable. I love my resin prints, but for me, FDM is more fun.

@Quirky: I started 3d printing 4 years almost 5 years ago. My husband had gotten me into 3d printing since I started my journey as a stay-at-home mom. 3d printing has helped a lot with my depression keeping me busy and always finding projects to keep my mind busy. It also helped me be able to purchase my own things here and there by selling prints.

@Jesse Gardner: I started 3d printing myself in 2018 when I was 15 years old (Inspired by my 10th-grade science teacher). I was giving away 3D gifts to my friends for the rest of high school and beyond. Now I'm more serious about 3d printing and the designs I make. So many Unique designs are in the works for the near future. Speaker Cases, Decorations, House Detailing, Car Detailing, Light up Anything, & More.

@S Erickson: Bought my Ender-3 pro in February of this year. I'll admit the first month or two was a real trial in patience. After a lot of failed and bad prints and a few upgrades, the leveler, tips, bed, feeder, and hot end. I really hit my stride and my pri ter has had a few days off since have been able to create some really fun stuff. working on a full set of trooper armor at present.

@Papaken: I started 3d printing in 2020. I was working in healthcare and during our first major covid outbreak I saw a need to make ear savers. We were being charged for our ear savers from a local manufacturer and decided to buy a 3d printer and make ear savers for our staff and give them away. I found a basic design on Thingiverse and then asked the staff if they wanted personalized savers and made those too

@CyBerJak: In February of 2021 I indulged in buying my first 3D printer to give me a new hobby to help get me through the coronavirus lockdowns. It ultimately became an obsession One of which has led me down many paths some expensive some not but learning about all the different types of machines and materials is just utterly fascinating. I still continue the hobby and the number of printers that I have

@Plastic Models UK: I started out 3d printing in 2012 so been in the 3d printing business for 10 years now. I took my first order from a customer in 2014 when Creality was a very new company. So I took a risk and ordered 2 printers from them and never looked back. I now have a team of 12 designers and 4 print farms around the world with over 100 3d printers.

@Matthew Jackson: I started on 15th June 2022. I bought the CR-10S Pro v2. I have a friend who has been into it for 2 years. He has an Ender 3. We both use Fusion 360 to model our designs. We mainly do it better in our lives. Like household improvements. Basically, if you can't buy it, we design and print it. I really love 3d printing, it's changed my life. It started as a hobby but quickly became my passion.
