I'm Back in Nuts & Volts Magazine

11/21/2014

0 Comments

 
I've returned as a columnist for Nuts & Volts Magazine. My column titled "Getting Started with 3D Printing" started today in the December issue of Nuts and Volts Magazine. I wrote the "Getting Started with PICs" column from 2006 thru 2009 and it ended for reasons beyond my control but I'm happy to be back. 

The idea behind the column is to help anybody just getting started with 3D printing with tips and tricks that I've learned or will soon learn as I get deeper into 3D printing myself. There is so much to learn beyond downloading a thingiverse file and printing it. And with the various low cost printers available, I thought the timing was right to help others get started.

If you are a regular reader of this blog though, you know I've been writing about my 3D printer adventures for some time. But the N&V column is written for the electronics hobbyist who wants to design that custom case or special mount for their electronic project. There is so much 3D printing can offer and I feel like it's just getting started. Reminds me of the early days of the PC. I think we are still waiting for that killer app or killer print that will make everybody want a 3D printer the same way Visicalc did for the early PCs.
I've also added some new videos to my YouTube Channel that weren't posted here. I'm trying to separate this blog and the YouTube Channel a bit because I still want to help those who still are looking for my help with their electronics hobby. If you are a subscriber to N&V then check out the column. If not, maybe find it on the newsstand and see if it something you'd like to read. I hope to keep that column running for a long time.
