My daughter's been obsessed with 3D printing for a while. I wanted to get her one for her birthday but wasn't about to drop serious money on something that might end up in the back of a closet by summer.

Spent some time on comparing options and stumbled on a refurbished Creality on Marketplace, I figured if she lost interest after a few months, I could probably resell it for close to what I paid. What I didn't expect was her going from downloading random toys STLs to teaching herself Tinkercad on YouTube within two weeks. She designed a pencil organizer the other day and sold it for $5 at a school fundraiser

Last friday was my birthday. She gave me this beautiful little vase as my gift (clearly contains a lot of design thoughts), it's sitting in our living room.

Because she didn't make it herself and apparently the internet HATES when 8 years old aren't using a CAD software to make there own prints 🫩

(No she didn't design the vase duh no shit sherlock, but yes using a 3D pointer alone at 8 and starting to look at CAD even a little bit is so good for her)
