What 3D Printing Is Like When You’ve Never Done It Before

If you're like me and about to embark on a 3D printing adventure (my printer is due to arrive in February), if you're not giddily expecting perfection on your first print, you're contemplating the learning curve and other difficulties you might be facing.

Biz Carson has written an excellent article on the issues you'll face on Gigaom. He goes through four myths about the technology and I'll let you read the article for the details, but his conclusion is that although 3D printing may be the future, it’s just not ready for the average consumer.

I remain unfazed, but then it appears that I have a high tolerance to pain and frustration.
