I did not even know this person until today, and I just learned he is living EXACT life I dreamt of (as a kid). This person deserves a lot of kudos irrespective of HN finding his work "necessary" OR "worthy". There is a joy in solving a problem (scratch an itch) for the sake of it.

This guy the continuation of Nicholas Cage's character in Raising Arizona... After the movie ends he gets seriously into 3d printing and crazy inventions.

> I just learned he is living EXACT life I dreamt of (as a kid). You can live the exact life you dreamt of as a kid with a $150 3D printer and $100 in various Arduino parts. The hard part is imagination and time, everything else is very easy. I would really encourage you to get into making things, it's extremely gratifying. Here's a random thing I made last night, and the reason why I slept at 8 am: https://twitter.com/Stavros/status/1631458555072065538 https://twitter.com/Stavros/status/1631458555072065538

  DUDE!!! Can I buy you a coffee?:) EDIT: I was half expecting links to printer and arduino parts but coffee offer still stands because you just gave me my "duh!" moment.

    Haha, next time you're in Thessaloniki, please do! :P I'll post the links to the CAD files and code shortly, I just need to find a name for the thing first. EDIT: I found a name! I call it "The Timeframe". As promised, the code: https://gitlab.com/stavros/the-timeframe https://gitlab.com/stavros/the-timeframe

  which 3D printer? any recommendation(s)?

    It varies depending on what you want and how much you want to spend. The Ender 5 is a good entry level choice, the Prusa is the Ferrari of printers, and there's the Voron that's equally great, but a bit more DIY.
