Maker That Money 63: Finding your Footholds

This week we will be talking to Chris, AKA RetroMaker who is going down the MTM journey of making full time! We will be discussing finding that initial foothold to really better sink your teeth into this kind of thing. 

Some about Chris: Chris Wiegand, aka RetroMaker has a background in architecture and design and began designing for 3D printing in 2013 while working on his N Scale model train layout, sending the files to Shapeways to have them printed. In 2020 he starting printing his own SLA Resin miniatures, last year moving into FDM printing, with designs specializing in retro inspired miniatures of classic pop culture art, media and technology.  He is currently releasing 3dmodel files on Thangs and @Printablescom and physical models on Etsy and Ebay.
