With this a new barrier has presented itself, knowing which printer to pick amongst all the competition that has popped up.
Today in 2023, the learning curve and costs have reached historic lows. Before the 3D printing boom around 2015, 3d printers consisted of high cost enterprise solutions and a handful of hobby printers which required a baseline knowledge around coding and most certainly did not work straight out of the box. "In my experience the biggest barrier to entry for 3D printing is the misperceptions around the complexity and cost of the technology. We also had the chance to ask the 3D Printing Guru about his journey with this topic. Reading about it was really cool because it showed me what was coming up, and watching the videos by those two really inspired me to want to get into it myself,” Joel added, regarding his own experience. I read articles on Slashdot and watched videos by Barnacles Nerdgasm and Thomas Sanladerer. “What initially drew me to explore 3d printing was reading about it and watching videos on it around 20.

He was kind enough to share his own thoughts on the hobby.
