3D Printing, Day 0

3D Printing Journal · August 10, 2026

It's time to try my hand at 3D printing! I have been curious about 3D modeling in the past, but have a lot more to learn before I can start printing some of the custom creations I have in mind.

I ordered the following from Micro CenterMicro Center, and picked it up in Denver while I was in the area. New Mexico didn't seem to have any official resellers, and it seemed better to pick it up in-store rather than trust it would be shipped safely.

I went with the X2D Combo + AMS HT primarily at the recommendation of my uncle, who also recently got into 3D printing and was a big motivation in me getting started on this.
