Jacob Burt

Dad who builds printers to fix junk drawers

Community instructor · materials reviewed by the program

Jacob got into 3D printing the way he gets into most things: a problem annoyed him enough that solving it once beat buying the fix over and over. He built his first printer from a kit, spent a month failing prints and reading forums before dawn, and now runs the thing most nights. He's made drawer dividers, cable holders, garage bins, and a retainer mount that has, by his count, saved one retainer from vanishing weekly. He treats the hobby like a small manufacturing operation in a spare corner of the house. He's blunt, gives numbers, and teaches through his own mistakes because he thinks polished demos are useless.
