Also good for composting and making room in your recycling bin

You’ve designed a niche solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.

Use a box knife. Or, for a more versatile tool, get a Morakniv Companion.

Welcome to the world of 3d printing

If I don’t design and print something I could buy I might be tempted to do more mods for my printer.

Things like this give us… balance. Luckily I have a new project… building a Voron so it’s both something new AND printing printer parts.

Things like this give us… balance.

Otherwise known as, “Justification for ownership of printer.”

Look, I totally didn’t just buy this thing as a hobby to make more parts for itself! See, I actually do occasionally make useful things with it!!!

That’s what I tell myself, anyway…

Exactly… this printer is useful honey.

I can make parts for the printer, accessories for filament management for the printer.

Halloween decorations… once I get the printer back online when I have this mod finished.

Parts for another printer.

Mounts for the brooms… when more filament comes in since I used the last of it for the parts for the new printer.

Save 450 on a unique appliance part they’re not making anymore which now justifies the thousands I’ve spent on this thing.

Seriously though. It is a fun hobby and if you want to just print and make things and not tinker there are plenty of good options out there. Me? I like tinkering. It’s a blast.
