You can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars by making your own tools―what's more, you can 3D print your own custom tools and parts that meet your unique needs.
3D Printers for Woodworkers is the perfect introduction to 3D printing for the woodworking hobbyist, covering the history and development of 3D printing and offering detailed comparisons of 3D printer models so you can confidently choose the right 3D printer for your needs. 3D Printers for Woodworkers also includes numerous screenshots for tools useful to woodworkers, plus information on 3D printing molds and hardware such as drawer pulls, hinges, slides, and shims.
You have a 3D printer. You have it put together and it is working. The printer has been tested and calibrated. Now what do you do with the printer? Here are some projects to help understand what the printer can do and how to get the most from your printer. The projects move from simple to complex, and will teach you important things such as how to orientate your project and when to use supports.
