How much fun is a 3d printer vs “I forgot I even had one”?

I want one, but I worry I’ll be on the wrong ratio.

eh, I feel like a lot of people are interested in one just to print a bunch of shit that they won’t use

I have three. my original one (ender 3), and two new bambu printers (a1 and a1 mini)

obviously I never use the ender anymore. I mostly just use the a1 mini now, because it’s quieter than the a1 and the majority of the prince I do fit on its smaller bed just fine

I use it for functional stuff. When it’s printing, it’s very convenient. It’s not printing all the time.

here’s a list of stuff I semi recently printed:

  • garbage can lid knob

  • drill template

  • shower hook

  • bracket to hold my computer external power brick on my monitor mount arm

  • Kindle stand (although the model I found online sucks and I’m going to just make a better one. or I’ll just make one out of wood)

  • spacer to fix my car fob button

  • bracket to raise the rear leg of the TV stand up to tilt the TV forward

  • sheath for a very sharp paint scraper

  • sheathes for very sharp chisels

  • sheath for pointy awl

  • custom mounts for my bike peripherals (camera, computer)

  • bracket to hold my Eero blob on a shelf edge
