Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

    Lol same here.

    Bought a cheap printer and it worked, but I couldn’t fix it.

    Then I got another cheap printer that was bigger, but it was a fire hazard

    Then I got a not as cheap printer, then it broke in the stupidest way possible

    So I got a the Popular Cheap Printer, and it was good enough

    But I needed a Prusa since I was now selling my parts, and it was good

    Then I got a bigger prusa since the popular printer turned into a sunk cost fallacy.

    What should’ve been a one time cost of $350 turned into multiple $350-500 printers until I started a business with it and spent $1000 to stop messing with it

      Wow, that’s pretty cool that you made a business out of it.
      What kind of parts do you make?

        So far, replacement Stylus for DS and 3ds systems. Display stands for old portables and games.

        Working on a case for eReaders, but needed to move from PLA to PETG. So I’m ironing out those kinks
