3D Printing

I'm new to this 3D printing idea . . . opening up the box and setting it up was my first introduction to the Makerbot Replicator 2.  Have found the whole experience a delight and something you could easily get caught up with.  What I have found the most useful is being able to produce items that have an immediate practical use.  For example, the filament which we have, are on spools that have a narrower circumference so they will not fit on the spool holder that was supplied with the printer.  No Problem ! A quick visit to thingiverse solved this issue.

I have now branched out into designing my own items using tinkercad.  Watch this space to see the progress. . . .
