Ever wondered if a 3D printer is something you should buy? Is it a novel item or can you really get your money’s worth?
As an AC you often need small niche items that don’t exist or cost loads because they get made in such small quantities. But what if you could just print the thing you needed!
This is why 3D printers are a good investment for anyone working in the camera department;
Whether you need a holder for the samsung T7 SSD’s production gave you or you need a spare WCU4 ring so you can use velcro marks… The options are endless. However you might have to design it first.
Let’s sum up the positive and negative:

- Tools like ThinkerCAD make designing easy
Disadvantages
- Unique designs might require a design to be made in professional CAD software
