As I work with 3d printers more and more, one of my boys has been my copilot. Together, we troubleshoot. We celebrate the victories and mourn over the spaghetti messes that we create. If a design is simple enough, he does the design himself. Otherwise, I work with him to get what we’re looking for. It’s been a really fun experience to see him take an idea that solves a problem, go through the design process, create a part, and then iterate through the phases of design on his own.

It’s been a great learning experience for both of us. Now we’re getting into resin printing for the first time and we’re learning an awful lot together and having a great time. I’m really enjoying it.
