This looks really cool. Let's say I want to get into this. I have no idea about 3d printing, PCB boars or low level programming. I'm a software developer. Where do I start to learn all this? Which part do I take on first?
actually at the moment they just recommend you buy it from them and assemble it at home, if a part breaks you can then 3d print it. you cant 3d print every part though (e.g. usb c port)
Bit expensive... Still, if I want to get in it, where do I start?
I guess 3D printing is an easy start these days. Look into the 3d printing community here for guidance
If you're new to 3D printing, this is not a good first project. Buy the kit from them. It will be cheaper to do that then to buy each necessary component in bulk and make everything from scratch.
What is a good project to start 3d printing? And why this one isn't?
This has a lot of tight tolerances and lots of little things that have to go just right. Start with simple projects like brackets for things or raspberry pi enclosures. Look at printables.com or one of the other sites for inspiration.
Great page, thanks.
