3D Printing links

February 15, 2015
I keep finding different pages and when I need to find them again I can't remember the name because I don't use them often or I have only seen them once. I'm adding them here so I can always have a quick way to find them. They are in no particular order. Plus I'm just learning about these because there is a learning curve with 3D printing like anything new, so this should be a good start. Although things are improving by the day which is nice to see. I have not use or had a chance to check every one of these sites, but I'm just adding them for when I will want to check some things out. Keep in mind that there may be many more out there.
