Its pretty mind blowing how far its come in the last 3-4 years. The first printer I owned was one I built from scratch on another 3d printer, plasma cut the frame out of the old skid plate from my dune buggy. I hobbed a bolt with a tap on the bridgeport to make the extruder. then I start telling my buddies kid about all of it and I start sounding like i had to carry the 3d printer 10 miles uphill
