Make gay Treekiller and pan Major Player kissing. (One of my favorite crackships, at least I think about them a lot)

here you go!!

honestly i've never really thought of them as a ship but honestly i do like it!!

it's cute :]

So. I missed a day, but nonetheless, I shall continue. When I first began thinking of building a 3d printer, I did a lot of online research. I searched Google, Instructables, you name it, for any and all things 3d printing.

You wouldn’t believe how long it took me to actually find the RepRap wiki.

Before I did, I got inspired by the guy and his $60 e-waste 3d printer. I looked all over and before I even knew what I was doing, I was gathering parts. Unfortunately the build was not documented in a very detailed fashion, and I, knowing nothing of 3d printing, found it hopeless.

So, you know (emphasis I did not know anything about 3d printing) I decided just to build my own from the ground up.

First, I discovered the RepRap wiki AND LEARNED THERE WAS AN IRC CHANNEL. So suddenly I had countless hours of experience and trial and error within my grasp, as long as I ask the right questions! I began searching through 3d printer designs to build, settling on a wooden frame Prusa I3. But NOPE. I actually have no idea why I decided this, but I was going to design my own printer, to meet my own exceedingly strict standards. (I literally needed a printer that would fit in my tiny, tiny room). For a while it was a pipe dream, and I thought I would never actually get around to doing anything with the idea, as has happened with nearly all of my “brilliant” ideas in the past. But no more! TreeBot shall live!

So, some of you may know, I recently (several months ago) decided I wanted to build a 3d printer. Now I can’t remember the clear reason for this, but it makes sense as I really enjoy making things. I recently realized that someone asked me if I was going to document my 3d printer build, which I haven’t done. Seeing as I am now in the final stages of getting my 3d printer to work, I will be posting my progress over the past few months over the course of several days, hopefully culminating in the finished product at the end.
