    3D printing came back at me hard. Getting to use the school printer in high school was cool and now that I’m an adult I’ve bought 3 of my own.

        If it helps, my high school was ahead of the curve on 3D printer adoption. Someone on the staff must have been in-the-know and somehow managed to convince them that the $3,000 purchase was worth it.

        I sure am glad that those prices have come way down since then.

        I graduated in 2010 and my high school had a 3d printer. They weren’t common in the 2000’s but they were around.

          I graduated 2005 and 3d printing wasn’t even a concept at any school in my district.

      I’ve got an older resin printer I used for Warhammer, I’m thinking it’s just a matter of time before I start trying FDM to make useful stuff.
