I find 3d printing to be my slow hobby. Oddly relaxing to set something up, hit go, and come back several hours later to a completed piece. Very mesmerizing to watch, too.
3d printing is amazing. It’s teaching me patience.

I got a Bambu printer this year (upgrade from an Ender3) and now my experience is kind of the opposite lol. I don’t have to wait overnight to iterate designs, I can just print something in an hour and a half and test it, then print another in another couple hours…

allows me to get tasks/projects done in a day or two instead of a week. and because it prints so quickly, I tend to stay busy during printing (so I’m ready to continue when it is complete) instead of fucking off to relax like I would during an eight hour print.
