If you want to print crap out of your 3d printer you're totally allowed, but most people I know print useful and interesting tools and additions to their home that make things easier.
- xrd 3y agoI totally agree. I'm only saying that if you are buying the cheapest 3d printer you can find at BestBuy then you are probably not making interesting and useful tools. I wish I could prove that, it is purely speculation. I just see my own world littered with a bunch of cheap crap that satisfies a "I WANT NOW" reflex and generally does not lead to a flurry of creativity. For the record, I still believe that a "bicycle for the mind" is the best toy. That's why I've got my kids (7,9,11) using Linux and making music with Sonic PI, running Steam on Linux (which works pretty well!) and hopefully much more. It is a constant battle to fight iOS apps with ads and the junk advertised on YouTube, and I'm not sure I'm winning.
