At PrintLab, our products and content might look polished when they’re released, but behind the scenes there’s always a long journey of iterations, setbacks, and lessons learned. This video takes you through that journey for MakerTrack – which all began with a simple idea: designing a self-watering planter. Check out the video below.
MakerTrack started with a planter, but where it goes next is up to you. Want to design your own products with the system? Explore our MakerTrack course through the free trial link below – and learn how to build circuits, create enclosures, and bring your ideas to life.
