Yeah, so that's a 3D printer right behind me, the one with all the stuff stuck on it. It's also like my Post-it note board because it's just a big sheet of Perspex. It's got an enclosure on it because it's also a laser cutter and a CNC machine in one, so it kind of needs that enclosure around it. I mean, I've been in the 3D printing scene since, I think, 2009, 2010. Forever, basically.

Yeah, kind of when I got started as like a consumer at home sort of thing. And, you know, I released my own jewelry line, 3D printed jewelry line and all of that. And then since then, it's become much more sort of utilitarian for me. Like I use the 3D printers to solve my problems or to print like enclosures for my electronics products.

projects and stuff like that that's sort of why i also got it because being able to custom make parts is just very satisfying especially if you're interested in certain hobbies that require it what kind of problems are you solving what kind of problems do you have Well, right now I'm working on a silly project as usual.

And so I want to be able to mount that project to the wall actually and have sort of, you know, a little screen on it and some buttons and things like that. And so I can kind of 3D print this sort of plastic interface to hold the rest of the project and to mount it onto the wall. So that would be an example. But then I also do boring stuff like,

I have a set of drawers on my desk and they sort of had little like holes drilled in the drawers and you just put your finger in and pull it out. And it just got really annoying because if you've got stuff in the drawer, like your finger hits it and things like that. So I just ended up printing some draw knobs that work really well for that set of drawers.

And so you wouldn't even know that it was 3D printed. I color matched it exactly and things like that. But there's a lot of invisible things around here that are just really satisfying as well outside of the more exciting stuff.

We did. Yeah, I still have the selfie that we all took together.

No, it was in Portland. Portland. Okay.

Was I on the show in the expo with you guys? You did a quick recording there. Because I think we'd done a show before, but then that was the first time we'd met in person.
