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.
Nah he was accurately pointing out what he enjoyed more, and that realization is important.
If your hobby is printers not printing then you should look into kits and more interesting designs. Build a voron or a ratrig - not a Mk4.
If you want to print above all else that’s not the right way to do it.
If you wanna do both that’s also totally valid - but there are 2 different hobbies in 3d printing. There’s a printer hobby and a printing hobby. Some people like only one. Some like both.
I lean heavily printing not printer. I have a buddy who pushes for sub 10 benchy and doesn’t really do much else besides novelty prints.
