3D Printing and CAD Design.

I enjoy printing, painting, and designing 3D models. What have y’all designed or painted? Let’s share ideas and make even more wonderful projects and works of art.

I love finding free objects to print and paint you should try. It would be a great way to warm up your creative side. Also, I like designing a concept and using free objects to bring it to life. What printer do you have?

I have yet to take the plunge and get a 3d printer, but the one I’ve been watching is slowly coming down in price.

I do paint figurines that others have printed, along with factory box ones. This one is up next on my list.

It’s a Book Wyrm.

I cannot do art to save my life in any form, not just painting, but things like cosplay etc. Why I am in awe of everyone that does this.

I agree with you. @RiasRoryScarlet just keep performing and learn from what you did. And you will improve with anything.

Which 3D printers do you recommend on a budget? I totally want one, and I hope to get one once I have an open terrace to get the fumes out.
