As I sit here, staring blankly at the 3D printer in the corner of our cluttered garage, I am reminded of the peculiar journey that has led me to this moment. They call me crazy3ddad, the affectionate nickname bestowed upon me by my family for my unorthodox approach to life. Some say it’s a curse, while others see it as a blessing in disguise.

You see, I’m a man who sees the world in 3D. Literally. Every problem I encounter, no matter how mundane, sparks an idea for an innovative solution. My family has grown accustomed to seeing me whip out a sketchpad and start doodling at a moment’s notice, much to the chagrin of our poor cat, Mr. Whiskers.

My youngest daughter, Emma, once asked me, “Dad, why do you wear three pairs of socks in the winter?” I replied, “Because every problem has multiple solutions, just like how multiple layers of socks can provide ultimate warmth and comfort.” Her bewildered expression was all the reward I needed.

Despite the teasing and occasional frustration from my loved ones, I know that my unconventional thinking has led to some remarkable breakthroughs. From creating a 3D-printed prosthetic arm for a local amputee to designing a wind-powered water pump for a village in Africa, my work has made a tangible difference in people’s lives.

In a world that increasingly values symmetry and predictability, I am the yin to their yang. I am the crazy3ddad, always pushing the boundaries of what’s deemed “normal.” And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

As I continue to explore the uncharted territories of my mind, I invite you to join me on this peculiar journey. Buckle up, folks, because in the world of crazy3ddad, every day is a 3D adventure waiting to happen.
