“Get a 3D printer,” they said. “You’ll be able to print all the organization tools and containers you need.”
What they don’t tell ya is that owning a 3D printer entails also owning piles of doodads, tidbits, and greeblies that you then have to organize!
“Oh look a model for a handy tool holder to specifically organize your flush cutters and pliers”
Until this phase in my life I had no need for handy access to nippers and pliers!
You also massass incredible amounts of waste filament and failed prints that you end up just keeping in 2 gallon bags until the day you find a convieient way to recycle them
I've been working with one for my job and hobby (so much Nerf junk) since 2016, and I still haven't found a good, concrete way to handle the waste. About the best I've managed so far is gluing scraps together into spaceship-like shapes.
thats a really cool use ooo
ive been wanting to eventually try casting PLA in a mold but i think i need to get a temperature controlled oven or something if i want to do that
Acquiring a 3d printer is basically picking up a time consuming hobby of learning how to use, repair, maintain, and upgrade a 3d printer.
As a side bonus you occasionally get to make something cool, but those are brief interruptions to the standard day to day work of making sure it functions.
