Some of my interests are 3D printing, photography, and technological gadgetry.<\/p>\n

I got my first 3D printer, a Printrbot Simple Maker’s 1405 Kit<\/strong>, in 2014. I have since obtained a Cetus 3D<\/strong> by Tiertime, and an Anycubic i3 Mega<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Printrbot kit came with hundreds of pieces (and countless zip-ties)\u00a0 and took several hours to assemble. One nice feature is the auto-leveling done with an induction proximity sensor.<\/p>\n

The Cetus came in 3 pieces (extruder assembly, print bed, and everything else) and took minutes to assemble. Nice features include Wi-Fi, its compactness, a linear rail (aluminum extrusion) for each axis, a coated print bed, and the easy to use software.<\/p>\n

The Anycubic came in 2 pieces (frame\/gantry and print bed\/chassis) and took minutes to assemble. It’s the only one with a heated bed and an LCD display. Nice features include a touch screen, all metal construction, and the Ultrabase perforated glass print bed. I did a full review of the Anycubic i3 Mega<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

I do 3D design with OpenSCAD text-based software. I use Slic3r (slicer) and Repetier Host (control) software with the Printrbot, Cetus (slicer and control) and Cura (slicer) software with the Cetus, and Cura (slicer) software and Anycubic firmware (control) for the Anycubic i3 Mega. I share some of my designs on Thingiverse<\/a>.<\/p>\n
