If you program for the arduino, or are interested in programming for the arduino, why don’t we introduce ourselves, since problem solving tends to benefit from crowd sourcing a bit.

It’s always good to have minds to bounce ideas off of.  
I am just getting into it myself, I have a couple uno r3s and a mega 2560, and bought a huge box of mixed parts to start playing around with.

I found a tutorial series on YouTube that really has been helping me out.  
You can start the series here

Indeed, Arduino and 3D printing go hand-in-hand. While it’s possible to use an Arduino with just a daughter board (like my Christmas Light controller), most applications will use external sensors or motors or whatever, all of which need to be mounted and/or enclosed somehow. It was the need to be able to build custom mounts for motors that got me into 3D printing.
