      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.

        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.
