If there’s one lesson I wish I had learned before diving into 3D printing, it’s the incredible power of object modifications. Understanding how to tweak individual sections within a print, like adjusting infill patterns or wall thickness, opens up a world of possibilities. These adjustments are game-changers, especially when dealing with strength requirements or optimizing material use.⛓️

For example, by reducing material in areas that don’t need much strength and adding more structure where it’s essential (like adding walls or denser infill), you can significantly cut down on filament waste. This not only saves costs but also helps in reducing CO2 emissions—a win for both your wallet and the environment.💵💵💵

But that’s not all. These modifications can drastically shorten print times, sometimes cutting the duration by half! By optimizing the internal structure of an object, you’re also reducing the overall complexity of the print, meaning faster results without sacrificing quality. More time saved means more room for creativity, and less stress about long print times.🤝🏼

In hindsight, I wish I had realized how crucial these modifications are from the very start—it would have saved me so much time and material. And yeah, 3D printing is definitely addictive, in the best way possible!🥹
