Decorating your home with unique 3D printed self-made designs is no longer a geek fantasy
There’s a certain feeling of excitement you experience when you get to actively take part in decorating your home, from avidly pinning ideas from Pinterest, to browsing page after page to find something unique that would not only reflect your style, but define the personality of your home for years to come.
You’ve probably heard about 3D printing by now, but somehow it still sounds half sci-fi in your mind, never actually thinking that you might use it to create your very own home decor.
