The 3D printing community is amazing!
Posted on 30 July 2021
What an amazing year!
About one year ago, I saw and touched my first 3D printer ever. I’ve been interested in the technology for years, and I felt like it was finally mature enough.
In one year, we’ve grown to 15 printers running full-time, with a stack of boxed printers waiting on the construction of a new ranch building for the print farm. We have a stock of roughly 2000 kg of filament on-hand, and we are burning through spools of filament faster than I could ever imagine.
We run a farm of Raise3D and Prusa printers, and they operate flawlessly, manufacturing like little robots – we ship the parts as fast as the printers can drop them in the bins.
The community has been absolutely wonderful, one of the most amazing groups of people I have ever had the pleasure to interact with.
I made a half-joke on twitter about wanting a t-shirt from Prusa, and before I knew it, boxes from all over the community showed up at the ranch filled with gifts for the family and the printers.
I can’t thank all of you enough, what a wonderful group of people, and I can’t wait to see what this next year brings.
