About

This blog is intended to serve as a simple, straight-forward guide for building and using your own 3D printer. I created and continually update this blog for a simple reason: the current state of 3D printing is confusing and I feel that this discourages new enthusiasts. Hopefully the simplicity of this blog will encourage more people to take the plunge into the world of reprap and 3D printing.
