3D printing and the R/C hobby are an incredibly powerful duo. Whether you want to create your own designs for tools, parts, and storage, or you simply want to download neat items to make your R/C experience even better, 3D printing allows you to do just that.



While I've been involved in both for several years, it wasn't until late last year that I became re-inspired by 3D printing. Advancements in printer technology , making these devices more like appliances rather than machines you need to stay one step ahead of, have turned 3D printing into a reliable form of creation and production (thanks to brands like Bambu Lab and others).



In this episode of The RC Newb Podcast, I dive back into 3D printing and share some resources and projects you may want to check out.
