Addicted to 3D Printing

You know you are an experienced 3D printer when:

• Strangely shaped bits of coloured plastic from failed print jobs are no longer fascinating to you.
• Your bedroom carpet is covered in strangely shaped bits of coloured plastic.
• You can get hold of strands of plastic at 200 degrees centigrade and think "Ooops" rather than dancing round the room holding your hand and swearing.
• Your hands acquire some funny looking scars and blisters as a result of this.
• You start to make up tunes inspired by the noises your printer makes when it is working.
• Whenever something works you instantly try to print out a bigger one. Or a smaller one. Or a red one.
• You start to like the smell of molten plastic.
• You feel that you are at the cutting edge of technology, even when your wife asks "What's that meant to be?"
• You think a little plastic bust of yourself would make an ideal wedding present for someone.
• You begin to plan your social life around eight hour print jobs.
• You don't know what PLA stands for, but you know exactly the temperature it melts in your machine. In five different colours.
• The word "plug" becomes a swear word.
• People start giving you designs they’d like to have printed out.
• You start to wonder if there might be a business model in this…..
