My name is Roger, I live in Liverpool and I’m a 3D printing specialist.

​

From hobby to something more:
Back in 2008 I stumbled upon an article about 3D printing. It sounded interesting and I kept reading. I didn’t know it at the time but that moment changed my life. I know it sounds cheesy but it is actually true.

Within a couple of days of reading the article I have attended a course to learn the basics of this new world and boy, it was hard.

Not sure if you know or not, but even a smaller object takes hours of designing in one software, than to prepare it for 3D printing in another one and it takes a few more hours to actually print it out. Than you start the post works...

 

In the beginning I thought I will never create anything cool. It just seemed so complicated and hard. But I kept trying and I’ve learned so much through the next couple of months, that finally I was able to create a small toy for my back than "little" brother.

Using my new knowledge I started to give my first creations as gifts to my close family and friends. And they loved it. It really showed them, how much I love them, as they knew exactly I had to spent so much time to get their personalised presents done.
And later on they asked me to do the same for some of their friends. This is where Roger's 3D printing was really born. However it was more of a hobby. My friends liked that they are giving something unique to people they knew. And it was much more personal than a robe and towel.

I have made toys, miniatures, car parts, decorations, all kinds of trophies. I enjoyed making them and people loved them. Unfortunately, later I started working in full time and I had less and less time to put in to my hobby and after all, there was a time I thought I'll have to stop it completely.
But later I came across someone who inspired me, how important it is to start to do something you love. 

So I quit my daytime job and I focused 100% on 3D printing.
