I'm in the process of purchasing a 3d printer. This thread will follow my journey as I learn to 3d print. Below I found a good guide on YouTube for an overview with additional videos on the channel for more in depth and specific topics.
My son printed me the case and bought the electronic parts for a portable M12 pinecil power supply. Its pretty slick for small electronic parts soldering like guitar pots and pickups and other odds and ends.
He also printed a tabletop smoking pipe holder and various pipe stems. Also 2 wireless internet child nodes wall mounts and a corner wall mount for a child node. Gets them off tables freeing up space.
So now I know what to get him for Christmas. He and his buddy use his dads Prusa printers. I had no idea useful stuff was being created with this. [Reply]

Did you scan your controller on your own or find a scan out there in the world? I'm figuring out the extreme basics of 3D modeling, but creating a model of an existing object seems pretty daunting. Curious if you bought a scanner, used a phone app, or what. [Reply]
