			<description><![CDATA[All of us find hobbies that resonate with us.  There is usually a story for how one finds their hobby.  How did you come to enjoy 3D Printing?<br />
<br />
I'll start - An old mentor of mine talked about 3D Printing a few years ago.  He had a Creality ENder 3 that caused him great joy and sorrow (IYKYK).  An RA I supervised did a program where he 3D printed Pokeballs for his residents.  I thought this was incredibly cool and loved the fact that he had 30 residents show up to this program.  I began researching 3D Printing and bought a Creality Ender 3.  After some time, I enjoyed tinkering but wanted a smoother experience.  I upgraded to my Bambu Labs P1S and not print everything from toys to functional items like a SKADIS wall set up.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Looking back on your print journey, what is the singular best piece of advice you could offer someone who is looking to jump into printing?<br />
<br />
I'll start - You do NOT have to be experienced in 3D Modeling.  There are so many files out there on websites like Thingverse, Cults3D, Bambu Labs, etc. that you just need to be able to "slice" a file and hit print.  Some printers even come with pre-made files to get you oriented to the hobby!]]></description>
