3D Printing
Just starting with 3D printing, and it's surprisingly difficult! Except, it's not really all that surprising. This is a new technology, and even as it's moving into home-user-friendly territory, it's still very young.
And I kind of like that!
It's reminiscient of the days when you had to build your own computer from scratch, and had all kinds of weird problems and DIP switches and terminating SCSI chains and whatnot. Desktops are very simple and straightforward now. Which is good, but it takes some of the pioneering spirit out of it.
And I also like that 3D printers are in a very low-profit zone. People are doing this because they're having fun. I like that spirit, and I like figuring things out.
So, we will see how long it takes me to get good at this, if ever. For now I really enjoy it.
