Me Too!
3D printing used to be super finicky and either unaffordable in money or unaffordable per time-required, but seems like its gotten much more user friendly in the past few years.
Liked this overview-exploration. Would love more content / app-use tutorials/tips/and reviews per 3D modeling /sketch software, lidar scanners, and the like.
