Hello and Welcome to Total3DPrinting!
We are just getting started, but we are here to stay.
Mission: To create the leading resource for desktop 3D printing on the web, with expert recommendations delivered in a friendly style.
Early on, we are most concerned with helping beginners navigate the waters of buying the right printer for their needs. However, we are also interested in curating projects, creating learning resources, and building a true community of passionate makers.
