New hobbies this year
I’ve discovered the amazing world of 3D printing, and it’s been incredible! There’s nothing quite like taking an idea in your head and turning it into a real, physical object. But what I’ve enjoyed even more is the tinkering—it’s like unlocking a whole new layer of creativity. Experimenting with different settings, adjusting the printer’s speed or layer height, and fine-tuning the designs to get the perfect result has been so satisfying. I’ve learned to troubleshoot, modify hardware, and even try custom filaments, which makes every print a unique challenge. There’s a thrill in testing limits, solving problems, and seeing the improvements in every project. Tinkering with the printer itself has turned out to be just as fun as creating the objects!
When I got my Qidi Q1 Pro 3D printer, I was immediately impressed by how beginner-friendly and robust it felt. Setting it up was straightforward thanks to the clear instructions, and it didn’t take long before I was ready to start printing. The dual Z-axis design and enclosed build chamber really stood out, making prints more stable and consistent. I enjoyed experimenting with different filaments—PLA, PCTG, and even flexible ones—without worrying about warping. Tinkering with settings like layer height and print speed helped me unlock even better results. Whether for fun projects or practical tools, the Qidi Q1 Pro has made 3D printing a smooth and rewarding experience.
