Learning Journey · 3D Printing
Learning 3D printing from scratch.
My first printer will be a Bambu Lab A1 Combo with AMS Lite. I want to document the real process from opening the box to designing my own useful parts and combining them with electronics.

Why this journey
From software to making physical objects.
3D printing fits the way I like to learn: test, iterate and build something I can actually use.
I do not want to stop at downloading models. The goal is to understand materials, settings, design and maintenance well enough to create parts for my own projects.
Roadmap
