4 Solid Reasons Why You Should Buy a 3D Printer for Home Use

September 5, 2020 by Polly

With the advancements of 3D printing technology, many hobbyists and those who are interested in making various projects have gained the tremendous advantage of having a 3D printer in the comfort of their homes.

It also makes for a good tool that your children can learn a lot from just by playing with their imaginations and realizing some of it with the use of these machines.

Regardless of age, there are solid reasons why it’ll be worth it to have one in the house:

Save Your Time and Money

Not surprisingly, the International Space Station has a 3D printer on-board, as it makes it convenient and economical to create spare parts to repair whatever thingamajig that they use up there.

Now, you may not live a thousand miles above the earth’s atmosphere, but consider a situation where a simple component in your house can easily be replaced by a small customized item and that, it can be manufactured right then and there.

It saves you the drive to the hardware or the waiting time for it to be available from the original manufacturer, you can just make that component yourself and address the issue.

There are a lot of available 3D printers out there and depending on what you might need it for, you will have to read their description and reviews.

For whatever purpose you’d want your printer to serve, choosing between the fast-rising resin 3d printer or the conventional filament-based FDM printer will be one of the first things you’ll consider. A reputable source of information will save you time and money in choosing the one that suits you.

Better Quality

A resin-based printer provides better quality and finishes, which makes having one at home can allow you to create artwork that faithfully recreates details of your design.

Also, there is the factor of controlling the quality yourself because if you’re just outsourcing your 3D printing needs, there’s a possibility that you’ll be taking some results from their mistakes.

So having one of your own can not only introduce the educational benefits, but it can also provide you total control of how good the product should come out.

Create Your Own Unique Items

You’ll be able to experiment with designs and expand your creativity by realizing it through your 3D printer. You can use it for your hobbies or even create a unique gift for your loved one. All of these will only require you some time to learn and come up with your own unique idea.

You Can Monetize It

One of the best reasons for having one at home is that you’ll have the opportunity to make some money off of your newly acquired skills and your trusted printing equipment. Aside from selling your own designs online, you can also teach classes or sell guides on the internet to help other enthusiasts like you, improve their skills in 3D printing.

When you’ve perfected your first project using your resin-based 3D printer, you’ll be amazed as to why everyone doesn’t have one in their homes.

The amazing finish and quality of the product will be void of layer lines and other imperfections that you’ll see from older versions of the technology.

Although it still requires the willingness to learn and innovate, the newer versions are not only better they’re also affordable and that makes them a perfect addition to your collection of equipment at home.
