My First Slip

When a 3D print went wrong — and became art

Every craftsman's got a first slip. Mine? 2023, when I tried to 3D print a radish slice and it turned into something completely unexpected.

The Radish Experiment

I was trying to 3D print a radish slice — you know, for a project about food art. But the filament jammed, the layer lines went wild, and the final result? A twisted, colorful sculpture that looked like it came from another dimension.

That mistake taught me something important: sometimes the best art comes from the mistakes. Every glitch, every botched print, every failed experiment is a chance to learn something new.

Now I keep that radish sculpture on my desk — a reminder that every mistake is a chance to create something beautiful.
