No, of course not.

I do in fact know dozens of people who knit, paint, cook, engage in home improvement projects, sew, and do many other things with their hands, with essentially zero "guidance".
Are you claiming that you do not?
- thriftwy 2y agoCooking is a nice activity since every dish is unique. Fixing your own home also is. However, trying to manufacture some widgets for sale is a futile activity for most of the people.
- DaSHacka 2y agoWhy would they have to be sold? Just like the other examples, what's wrong with creating things for yourself to make your life easier? I know many engineers that use their CAD skills to design 3d-printed objects. Not once had they thought of monitizing their creations; they simply use it to make their own lives easier and improve QoL.
- thriftwy 2y agoThat's why I say I see value in school 3D printing. But not in a school machining shop since that's a very niche skill. You don't need to machine widgets for your home that much, it is a marketable skill with poor market.
