These People Online Are Making Their Ideas Come To Life By Printing Them With A 3D Printer (30 Creations)
Interview
For most people, 3D printing can seem tricky and hardly understandable. However, throughout time, it has become more common to use it in everyday life. Having this in mind, enthusiasts of 3D printing created a subreddit called 3Dprinting where “makers of all skill levels and walks of life can learn about and discuss 3D printing.” The group with 817k members share their own creations done with the help of this technology. So here are the most elaborate works done by people who are mastering the 3D printing process.
What do we know so far about 3D printing? Built In, a community for tech startups and businesses, defines it as a technology that “uses computer-aided design (CAD) to create three-dimensional objects through a layering method. Sometimes referred to as additive manufacturing, 3D printing involves layering materials, like plastics, composites or bio-materials to create objects that range in shape, size, rigidity, and color.”
Does this technology really have an impact on people’s lives? Bored Panda contacted Associate Professor Dr. Eugenijus Jurkonis at Vilnius Tech, where he holds his lectures in the department of Mechatronics, Robotics, and Digital Manufacturing.

I love some of these designs. Wished they offered the files to 3D print your own (even if it's charged, it'd be worth it)

There are TONS of sites out there that offer things to download and 3D print. Some free and some not free. thingiverse, cults3D, pinshape, all3Dp, myminifactory, cgfactory.... among many, many more. Yeggi is a useful site that lets you browse several different websites at once so maybe you can find what you really liked. You can also check out the Reddit group linked at the top (where all these posts came from) to see if they did share a 3D file.

I feel like this thread would have been more interesting if it was people posting their own creations, not just people posting stuff they found on Thingiverse. Designing stuff is the fun part after all! :D It's all about problem solving, iteration, and creativity. That's how I came up with my resin pour spouts to help reduce the messiness of the bottles https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4633014
