Spending some time contemplating the personal allure of 3D printing in the hobbyist (non industrial application) realm. I am not making general assumptions for every person. Just how I see what’s happening in my experience. All hobbies are (or should be) a form of enjoyment of the time spent. Hobbies are all about available time and resources not required for daily survival such as food and earning a living supporting a desired level of life...

Mid year I should have a new 3D printer toy to explore. The Tiertime Cetus2, a dual filament single nozzle FDM. Until then I have plenty of other toys around here, with which to play. My Peripheral Neuropathy (PN) is progressing and my walking is getting...

Revolutionary 3D Printer with On-the-Fly Material Switching 3D printing experts Tiertime, recently announced the launch of Cetus2, an advanced printer that uses an innovative new print head design making it possible to use one nozzle and switch seamlessly between multiple materials and colors on the fly. No need for nozzle alignment and no need to stop or print purge tower, Cetus2 is time and material saving, and capable of fast material switching during printing. This...

I have taken a serious look at hobbyist level 3D printing. Two kinds of hobbyists. The ones tinkering with the hardware and software (firmware) still stuck in the RepRap phase (and loving it!) – building a “better” machine that can build itself. The other hobbyist is the plastic Junque maker (like me) printing tons of plastic on Chinese made hardware. No US manufacturer of 3D printers can really compete (in price) in the base hobbyist...
