2nd Giveaway
Hi, my name is Nathan. For many years I've wanted a 3D printer but couldn't afford one (because I'm only 15). I'm saving up to get a CR-10s 5 for Christmas. I have no equipment to show off but have a great website for beginners! This site is called Tinkercad by AutoDesk. I used to use it in I.C.T. classes in year 7 and ended up printing a mouse trap car. I never realised how detailed and effective this website was until I started to do all the courses it contains this year. I thought it'd be some average site that you could make a boat on but is actually a lot more in depth. I've completed all the courses and have created a dual wielding lightsaber as practice for when I get my CR-10s 5. This site takes you through all the beginner steps and allows you to import files you have downloaded or create your own design (as seen below).

Great recommendation for Tinkercad! For anyone getting into 3D printing peripherals like custom mouse designs, it also helps to understand your actual mouse DPI before designing ergonomic shapes. It gave me useful data to work with when planning a custom grip design. Good luck saving up for the CR-10s 5!
