But in recent years, 3D printing has soared in popularity, moving away from a technology only done in niche businesses to something that you can do as a hobby at home.<\/p>\n<p>3D printing allows you to design and create products in innovative and eco-friendly ways because you\u2019re able to reduce the amount of material waste that you have leftover. These printers work in similar ways as a regular ink printer\u2013but rather than depositing dots of ink to create an image, a 3D printer layers a thin deposit of materials (which can be plastics, metal powders, or special types of glue) to create whatever digital file you\u2019ve chosen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>3D printers are relatively inexpensive and it\u2019s pretty easy to learn the basics of the craft. Plus, once you get the hang of it, you can start printing things at home that you would otherwise have to go out and buy. Plus, playing around with it can help you continue to develop your tech skills and keep up with your creative side as you make things like fidget spinners, legos, cups, game pieces, etc.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#e3e8ee\"><strong>Resource<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OOsVxiyBJ0U\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"75454\">Here is a beginner\u2019s guide to 3D printing at home<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"43_Browse_TikTok\"\/><a\/>43.
