It starts with my wife come home with a package to me. A 3D printer that I have to put together. This is something new for me so I have to figure it out how it works.

It starts with my wife come home with a package to me.

A 3D printer that I have to put together.

This is something new for me so I have to figure it out how it works.

Next step is to figure it out how to print.

So I have to get some filament.

My first work did not go well, the freaking cat jump off the plate before it was finished.

So why not start with a serious project?

This is cool.

The quality is really good.

So after a few days it looks  better and better.

And now I print like a pro.

And here is the final result.

How do you input the design, do you have to make it yourself or do you download it?

You never cease to impress me with your skillful approach to so many and various projects. Wether it’s you photography, your watch making or now, 3D printing and making a movement. You are obviously a very talented individual. Bravo! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

It works really well. Now to speak with your friends in Glashutte to see if they will share any 3D files with you. Mention you don't need anything fancy...time only will do. It's for science.
