How did you first discover 3D printing, and what was your "aha" moment that made you realize this was more than just a hobby?I first heard about 3d printing back in 2016 when I started working in the education sector and the school I work at brought in a tech consultant who talked to the staff about it. Then over the years I started watching many YouTube channels like 3d Printing Nerd (Joel Telling) and realized that this was something I could do as well as help grow it in our STEM Classes which is when I would say I had my AHA moment.Walk us through your current workspace setup - what machines, tools, and software form the backbone of your making process?Current machine setup is the Peopoly Magneto X, Elegoo Centauri Carbon, LDO Voron Switchwire, Kingroon KP3S, Fabreeko/Honeybadger Rolohaun/Kanrog Rook2020 and I have an LDO Kit Rook2020 I need to get assembled. I have also had many other printers over the years.What's the project you're most proud of, and why does it stand out among everything you've created?I would have to say my family is my greatest project but in the Maker Community I would say the Printer Rehab Project. It is still going and growing. I take in older printers and rebuild them and with the help of companies like Polymaker and Microswiss I have been able to just give them away to those less fortunate that want to be a part of this great community. As for a print that stands out to me I would say the LabRax from Michael Klements on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@MichaelKlementsDescribe a spectacular failure or challenge you've faced in your making journey and what it taught you.Overcoming some of the early issues in my days of building a Voron v2.4 the bed leveling and meshings and getting the first layer to print right everytime without having to adjust I would say was my biggest challenge to overcome. With lots of time practice and taking time away to clear my head and start again. That is the key when you get overwhelmed just walk away, clear your head and come back fresh.What misconception about 3D printing or making do you find yourself constantly correcting when talking to newcomers?LOL, that all we want to do is talk about 3d printing and the cool things we can make that is just simply not true, There is filament, types of printer, what each material is best suited for. I mean it is not just about what we have printed.Technical Deep-DivesWhat's your go-to troubleshooting process when a print goes wrong, and what's the most unusual fix you've discovered?This is a good one. I would say when I get a print fail I first look to see what kind of fail it was? Depending I would start with where the issue started and work back like if the filament did not come out I would heat the hot end and try to extrude some filament if it is not coming out I would then check to see if the nozzle is clogged or if the extruder is actually trying to push plastic. As for unusual fixes I have been in 3d printing now seriously since 2018 and I think I have seen and done it all. My go to with a clogged nozzle is to take it out and hold it with pliers and just hit it with a torch till all the filament bubbles out and then do a "manual cold pull on just the nozzle while I am holding it with the pliers to help clear it out.How do you approach the design-to-print workflow? Do you design everything yourself, remix existing models, or combine approaches?I am not much of a designer, I do mostly remixes of other models to work for my situation. In most cases I look for a model that has what I need and then either modify it our cut it up for the parts I need and then add them to my basic models that I setup in Tinkercad. I am a Tinkercad Noob but I get things done LOL.What material or technique do you think is underrated in the maker community, and how do you use it in your work?I would have to say that I am a huge fan of ASA. I have been using it for a lot of my structural parts these days and love it over ABS I know with either there are some risks so I do encourage everyone to stay safe while printing with them.Community & PhilosophyHow has being part of the maker community shaped your approach to creating and sharing your work?Just the overwhelming love and support. This community is a great group of people that want to help and build each other up. Everyone here just wants to see everyone succeed in all of our adventures not just in the Maker space but all facets of life.What advice would you give to someone who's interested in making but feels overwhelmed by the technical learning curve?Just find the thing in the Maker Community that excites you and reach out to that community. Join their discords, follow them on socials, and just see what they are doing. Ask them questions like how did you get started and what would you recommend to someone new coming into the space?Where do you see personal fabrication and 3D printing heading in the next 5 years, and how are you preparing for those changes?I am just a si
