Needs
This project seeks to address several needs, the foremost being the creation of an enlarged heat bed that allows the user to turn on different sections of the heat bed to accommodate the size of their project. This can help household users create projects that would have previously been impossible to do as a single piece. 3D printers have been used for industry purposes for quite some time, but it is now becoming economically feasible for households to begin using these for whatever their imaginations can come up with, whether this be for the hobbyist trying to learn a new skill, the do it yourself fanatic that wants a unique way to fix things around the house, or an artist looking for the cutting edge of mediums. The demographic of people using this technology will be shifting from scientists and engineers to the everyday man. With this technology becoming more and more popular the need for ease of use will be necessary, which is also a point of design for this project.
