The year 2025 was, without a doubt, a remarkable year, full of changes and new discoveries. A completely new world opened up to me!

I was already familiar with the concept of 3D printing, but only recently did I have the opportunity to truly explore it, thanks to my boyfriend and his passion for this hobby.

Through him, I had my first direct contact with a 3D printer. I learned how it works, what filament is, its different types, and of course, the inevitable headaches a printer can cause until it runs properly and produces a quality piece. He was the one who sparked this curiosity in me, and from that moment on, I began designing and printing my own models.

The range of possibilities that 3D printing offers is impressive — from creating decorative objects, personalized gifts, and even household utensils, to producing parts for all kinds of fields. Especially exciting is receiving a challenge, understanding a need, and creating something unique, designed specifically for the person who envisioned it. The only limit is the size of the printer bed!

It was, without a doubt, a productive year, filled with learning, challenges, a few frustrations, and above all, a great sense of accomplishment.

Below, I share my first challenge, a special request from my niece, and my most cherished piece: a tribute to my sweet dog, who passed away last year.More than a hobby or a simple pastime, this experience has become a true therapy for the soul.
