Building model airplanes. 3D printing
Since I was young I have always enjoyed building scale model airplanes in my spare time. I believe that has helped build my problem solving and my passion for building and creating things. About 6 years ago a friend told me about an online deal for a Creality CR-10S(FDM) 3D printer that I ended up buying and I was enthralled with it immediately. Since then I have bought another of the same model and expanded into resin printing learning that method of printing as well.
