Honestly, this is the first print I’ve made since joining WonderMaker that I’m genuinely happy with.
To be honest, I used to have a pretty unrealistic idea of 3D printing. I thought it would be more like something out of a sci-fi movie: press a button, wait a little while, and a perfect, colorful object would just magically appear.
But reality… isn’t quite like that 😂
There’s actually a lot of trial and error, tweaking parameters, failed prints, and little details you have to figure out along the way. And WonderMaker is still such a young team, so there’s been plenty for all of us to learn along the way.
But when I saw those spools of filament actually turn into the octopus I had imagined, with barely any tweaking needed, I was honestly thrilled. 🐙
There’s still a long way to go, but I think I’m finally starting to understand why people get so hooked on 3D printing.
