Hey all!
I recently bought my first printer from creality, an ender 3! It just arrived and I need to still assemble it.

While this is my first printer I have worked with a variety in the past through school clubs. I chose to go with an ender 3 because it seemed like it was the most highly recommended printer for most people starting out. I hope to get a larger printer at some point in the future but for now this is where I will start.
I don't necessarily plan on printing costumes but more plan to explore printing for prototype services as I am studying engineering.
that being said currently myself and some friends from a club at school are printing the damaged iron man helmet from endgame using the DO3D files! This part was printed on one of the club's ender 3s.
Im not sure how much help I would be if people have questions as I'm still learning but I really look forward to seeing peoples posts on here!
Lifesaving lights are the kind of thing you rarely think about until you find yourself in a difficult situation. For example, I decided to buy one when I was sailing in a storm cloud—the clouds obscured everything, and navigation was becoming increasingly difficult. I ordered a kit from https://gaelixmarineservice.com/safety/lifesaving-lights/
including a powerful spotlight and a small beacon. I mounted the spotlight on the bow of the boat, and the beacon on my life jacket. It's really visible in the dark, with a beam of light that cuts through fog and rain. And most importantly, it's lightweight and out of the way. Honestly, it's an investment in peace of mind.
