“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!

i subscribe to a 3d printing forum despite not owning a 3d printer and it seems the majority of what people do with a 3d printer is fix it

Having owned a printer for all of four days my ratio of benchies:actually useful prints:toys:failed prints:instances of having to take my hot end apart is 3:2:1:3:2 so I think I'm doing pretty okay

I strongly suspect all of the issues I've had with printing were some combination of user error and bad filament but I'm waiting on delivery on new filament to find out.

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.

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.

i had a free course on 3d printing, and most of our classes involved fixing the 3d printing machine because something bad happened.

other time was because the entire motherboard melted in other class so we did drawing 3d objects

but we managed to fix the plastic water filter, by measuring the bits, making the new valve, sandpaper the thing and it actually worked!

they still didn't gave me my certificate, been half a year, and another year for my eletrician one.
