3D 808
About me:
Hi, I'm Justin.
I started 3D808 as the umbrella which anything I've 3d printed will fall under.
I'm a dad, maker, motorcyclist, and tech enthusiast.
The name 3D808 comes from the merging of a hobby and a philosophy. When times were the hardest for me, I looked for a light to help me through. In an odd way, the universe presented me with a playing card which remains emblazoned in my memory to this day. That card was the 6 of clubs, but that's not so memorable so instead, I started carrying around a Joker in my wallet to symbolize the gift.
I've carried a Bicycle brand Joker in my wallet since then (1990) and the 808 comes from that. It just means, standard sized card with standard sized print. But... there are other, perhaps more mystical coincidences surrounding that number.
For example, "Mirror Hour" or 8:08 for easy reading is said to be a time for reflection and perhaps change.
And according to some, this number may also be impactful for others in a more spiritual way.
And of course the 3D part comes from the 3D printing hobby. Many of the objects you'll see here are post processed 3D printed parts. Some are raw, but they're all made by me. So thanks for looking at my stuff and feel free to connect.
Cheers!
