Retirement isn't for slowing down; it's for learning.

I am 61, retired, and a lifelong tinkerer (RC planes, drones, lasers). Now, I’m taking on a new challenge: 3D Printing.

I created The Filament Files to document my journey. I’m not an expert. I am here to learn, experiment, and share the process. I want to learn from the community and help other beginners get started too.

I’m starting with the Bambu Lab A1 and AMS Lite.

What to expect:

📂 The Journey: Starting a tech hobby in retirement.

📂 The Process: Setup and printing without jargon.

📂 The Projects: Useful parts for my other hobbies.

Whether you are a fellow retiree or a maker looking for honest content, join me.

Gear:

Printer: Bambu Lab A1 Combo

Slicer: Bambu Studio

Let's see what we can create.
