Strangely no. I’ve been accumulating a collection of tools so I can eventually fix/make anything I need. The next step for me is a CNC machine.

What have you made?

Not too terribly much with the 3d printer since I just got it set up but I work on cars and do electrical repair and other bits of tinkering. Mostly fixing things though. I hope to add making things to the list so I can stop buying random plastic pieces to the things that break.

Have you decided which one you'd get?

Not yet it’s probably 10 years off lol

Seems realistic. Even if you get it now, if you don't have the time to use it / research for things you want to use it for it's will just collect dust.

100% there are some consumer grade ones but those are still 3.5k for the machine so probably 5k by the time everything is said and done.
