I'm no artist, have no skill, little manual dexterity. I basically suck in every physical way. But I am powerful because I know how to get machines to do my bidding.
- jdietrich 11y agoThis sort of comment is exactly why I rag on 3D printing. A 3D printer isn't a magical tchotchke machine, it's a shop tool. You need knowledge and skill to design a part and successfully print it. You can learn an awful lot of practical making skills in the time it takes to get to the 3D printing equivalent of "hello world".
