Is my experience growing up really that uncommon? Or is having a 3D printer just an expensive substitute for having friends that are in to making and fixing stuff?
In the same way that C++ is just a verbose substitute for having friends that are in to writing assembly.

For a long time, 3D printing will be useful as a "close-enough" alternative to more expensive models, parts, and replacements.
