Hi Mic!
I used to live in Simpsonville, SC. What kind of things are you making with your SD?
Ive been doing a lot of lithopanes lately. With the thingiverse customizer and an app I found free on thingi. Plastics not cheap and I hope to do some of the panes the app makes that don't have the heavy border to sell. Do custom jobs with their photos.
I did quite a bit with trimmer line. Got a way figured out to keep it planted during printing. I like working with it when I need something tough. It soaks up epoxy like a sponge. Its layer bonding isn't as strong as abs because a SD can't get it hot enough but just painting it with a few coats of clear nail polish makes it considerably stronger. Its stringy and has very high tensile strength. I designed my own hooks and printed them for the house and shop.
My favorite thing I have printed is the banana shaped banana slicer off of thingi.
There are a lot of good "CAD" tools out there if you want to make your own stuff.
