It’s mesmerizing. Basically, the printer draws a layer of plastic, then uses the layer it just drew to draw another layer, and it just slowly does this super precisely one layer at a time, 0.1mm at a time, until your thing is printed. I had it on my kitchen table, and had to move it into the basement because I would just sit there staring at it as it would slowly draw the thing I was printing.
You have to keep in mind that process when you’re designing stuff, but you can design a lot of stuff. The stuff that really makes a cellphone a cellphone is the electronics, but a 3d printed box could definitely be part of a cell phone project.
In fact, here’s a cell phone based on a rotary phone that used a 3d printed case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfdUudG6sms (I was looking for the original video but couldn’t, but this shows it off pretty good)
