but I think it might be!
Getting back into 3D printing is doing wonders for my depression.
I'm designing a tabletop war game.

3d printers are the new classic car that needs a little bit of work.
I have a 3D printer, and a Suzuki Samurai. More than a few parts for the 35 year old Suzuki have been printed by me.
Why not both!? I've used one to make parts for the other.
I have been making parts for my FIL’s 61 Ranchero. I have made almost every gasket, the heating couplers, and dash knobs.
I've made a few logos. One of them I used to make a stamping die that deformed some sheet metal. Worked shockingly well.
I've also made a simple phone mount and a lens for the glovebox. My ultimate plan is to make the housing for new headlights, but lack of time and wanting to scan rather than measure the sheetmetal opening has slowed me down on that project.
How do you use a car to make parts for a printer?
I'll tell you what, using that points distributor on my Lulzbot has sped up printing considerably! Unfortunately the print nozzle connected to the 401 nailhead sure makes the Buick hard to start.

Below is a photo of a man using an Extreme 3000 Pro 3D printer with a drawing of a crying man standing to the side and watching him.

Prove you are a human
I am a human, and I can verify this user is also a human.
Just last meal time we enjoyed stuffing foodstuffs into our primary face holes to acquire energy. Afterwards we used said face holes to communicate inanities to each other. We then ingested ethanol to impair our brain function and attempted to create more humans by mashing our ridiculous meat bodies together.
Checks out.

Is…to print sex dolls? Is that the goal? Building the girlfriend?
Nah, you dont need to print the whole woman.
No, there is no goal only you'll be so busy calibrating and optimizing and upgrading the printer you won't have time to be lonely.
There is only printer.
fucking microplastics
And macroplastics
sounds good!
I just got a huge CNC, will that work?
Depends on the number of axis.
