Abstract
Seeing your 3D printer generate objects is really cool. When you create solutions and things you can use every day, the experience is even greater. However, there is more to 3D printing than just downloading and printing things. Indeed, most things on Thingiverse can be downloaded and printed with no changes. However, sometimes you need the same thing, only with a hole in a different place or maybe a bit longer or wider.
