I got my first 3D printer back in 2018 as a Christmas present, and I have wanted to sell ever since.
My first big thing was during lockdown when I 3d printed visors for the local community in exchange for donations to local charities. In the end, I raised £1,700 of which the remaining £900 after materials were donated to a homeless shelter and to Harry's Hat, a local charity run by one of my mate's parents.
This quickly got into the media with local radio stations like Eagle Radio inviting me to have a small section on their station. Later on in 2020 I was chosen as a LionHeart by the FA and met Eddie Keogh a professional photographer for the England International team. This led me to take photos of the England football team. I was also given a Lord Lieutenant award which I was one of the first to receive at the age of only 15.
After a few years I decided to try and make my own business selling my own 3d prints. In 2023 I started doing a few local craft events with my parents and only covering 2ft of the table with items. Nearing the end of the year I decided to make my own website and Etsy to which this really kicked off.
Although my trusty Ender 3 was good at making 3d prints, It was slow and limited my output. So as a early Christmas present, my parents brought me a new printer called the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon. This was helpful as it was faster and could do multi coloured prints.
Over the next two years I have made huge improvements adding another 6 3D printers to my ever-growing collection with the aim to hopefully make something for everyone!
