3D printing is one of the most underutilized technologies for the home shop and this video will get you started to adopting it! It's a shame that 3D printing is often associated with printing Yoda heads and Pikachus for your desk and not with printing actual USEFUL stuff. I happen to help companies adopt 3D printing for real world applications so I've seen first hand how powerful it can be. Large Fortune 500 companies can benefit and so can your small home/garage shop.

This video represents STEP 1 in the journey towards putting a 3D printer in your arsenal. I promise that it will return huge benefits to your projects or shop in general.

I always point folks to Prusa printers because they are just rock solid. The Prusa i3 Mk3 I show in the video has been cranking out parts for me for over a year without any issues (except the one that I talk about). Don't waste your time with a super low-cost piece of junk or even a more expensive piece of junk. The world of 3D printing can seem daunting and I'd like to guide you to the right path.

I review the Prusa i3 Mk3 printer and give my take on the good and the not-so-good. You'll get a good understanding of why I recommend this printer and once you've got one of your own, you can start implementing printed parts like I have. I plan on following up this video with another giving some examples of printed parts throughout my shop to illustrate my point.
