I'm trying to talk myself out of buying a 3D printer.
Cons: ~$250 for a decent on that can only print pretty small stuff
Pros: Three. Dee. Printer.
Opinions? Cool prints? Good budget printers?
@fribbledom I didn't, unfortunately. Still really want one. Still struggling to justify it since I don't really have a use for it.
Can only recommend it, one of the best hobbies I've picked up in recent years! If you need any help getting started, just let me know!
@fribbledom @RawphullCawpter Also during the lockdown it’s great for fixing broken stuff you can’t even order now. I’ve fixed my shaver twice already.
That's annoying 😯

You can even get the first sensible printers for around $150 (Ender 3). For a bit more budget I'd look into the Anycubic Mega S, Sovol SV01 or even the Sidewinder Genius/X1. If you can afford $350, the Prusa Mini is fantastic.
@fribbledom @benk That's not too bad. I do really want it... How useful is it outside of just being fun to play with?
At maker fair events people usually use 3D printers to make really expensive keychains and craft nick nacks.
Another idea that could be cool is a 3d puzzle for kids like a dinosaur skeleton or something.
Some ideas

So, I'm wondering. Did you ever get one? 😄
