Anyone else in this boat? It was said by a Bamboo user when I was chatting about my modded Maker Select and the Voron I’m about to build.

I do use the printer a lot for designing and making projects like the sensors I just launched or the Twystlock for Steam Deck, etc.

But I like tinkering/making more. For example I used to mod video game consoles more than I played them, so the comment made sense to me.

    Yup, in my case I know the 3D priter is the hobby. Like were the telescopes rather than the astronomy, or my Hi-Fi rather than the music. Nerds gotta nerd.

      Haha yea, I once soldered my own crossovers and went through the spreadsheets to build speakers for a room with flat frequency response. Ended up spending way more time on the process than using it.
