Hi, I'm James, "TheAmericanMaker". I ventured into the world of 3D printing back in 2011 when I built my first RepRap 3D printer, a "Prusa Mendal". This journey led me to assemble a Makerbot Thing-o-matic kit with a belt ejection bed, then experimented with a Solidoodle, and many more printers since. After years of printing, it finally feels like we're on solid footing in the 3D printing realm. I love designing and creating useful products, blending 3D printing with traditional manufacturing. Let's make some useful stuff together and push the boundaries of what's possible with 3D printing!
