Do you need some new wall hooks for a painting? Or perhaps you need a new organizer for your desk? Forget about taking a last minute trip to the store in this weather, you can 3D print these items, and much much more. So, where should you begin?

The 3D printer

Before going out to buy a new 3D printer for your home projects, you should understand 3D printing and the variety of tools and materials available on the market, because there is a lot.

In short 3D printing or, additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file.

Using some form of CAD or Computer Aided Design, users send their designs to their selected printer. The 3D printer then "prints" your lovely design layer by layer with a material called filament.

Depending on factors, like the type of filament used, the "resolution" (height of the layers) of the print, the type of printer you have, and the size of the print, the process can take a few hours or even a few days.

However, the end result is a 3D printed object that can be used for prototyping or even as a functioning product.

The process of 3D printing was something reserved for massive companies a decade ago, now you can go pick up a 3D printer for a few hundred dollars and begin printing at home. So what are you going to print?
