In just the past few years 3D printers have come a long way and aren't just more affordable, they're shockingly begginer friendly, too. I’ve been testing the Elegoo Centauri Carbon for a few months, and now instead of dropping $10 to $15 on Amazon every time I need a basic accessory or doodad, waiting two days for it to ship to my door, and then realizing it isn't what I actually needed, I realized I could oftentimes print it myself for a couple of cents.
But it’s not just about the money; because let’s be fair, this has an upfront cost of $359 at Amazon. More importantly, Carbon has helped me create customized prints for things that not only can’t be found in a store, and has actually inspired me to be a bit more creative with my problem solving by re-sparking my interest in 3D modeling.
