Comment on If you bought a 3D printer for personal use, was it worth it?
Krauerking@lemy.lol 5 weeks agoYeah I had a friend build one out of like balsa wood and a couple CD trays and the rest of us were stunned… And not very impressed after like 5 minutes which a shame cause it really was a beginning stop that showed what was possible.
I am definitely less into making those kinds of jank printers just cause the costs were never quite zero, and we have so much better options.

So like that hot-glue-models that came out? you could tell it was supposed to be a cube-like object. For a middleschool hacking components out of junk electronics… well… it was both hilariously awful… but in hindsight I should have been very proud of it.
it did do what I needed at the time, though, so there was that. I wouldn’t really recommend PVA as a filament material, though.
