Then, I impulsively bought a 3D printer on a whim, and I realized my fears were unwarranted.
Spending a few hundred bucks on a gadget to print plastic trinkets wasn’t appealing to me.
To my surprise, it came out pretty good.

Is this a perfectly smooth, immaculate print?
But did the printer successfully produce a solid figure that is clearly an owl?
Yes, and that is really all you need for most things.

That little owl is a perfect example of how easy 3D printing can be.
It required zero configuration, and I didn’t do a thing with the 3D model.
I simply loaded in the filament and pressed “Print.”

It’s also really useful.
you could find 3D models for all manner of useful things on big 3D model sites likeThingeverse.
Let’s take a look at some things I’ve 3D printed around my house.

However, with very minimal 3D modeling, you might take matters into your own hands.
Here are a few examples of things I’ve modeled myself inFusion 360to solve problems in my own home.
Even an affordable printer can spit out serviceable prints with very little fuss.
You won’t need to rely on Amazon shopping to solve problems anymore.
