It’s pretty fun / handy, and as the technology advances the price point for a decent printer is getting much lower. There are a lot of variables to producing a good quality print as I’m learning. After much experimenting and trial and error my PLA game is pretty tight. I’m still working on PETG and ABS. The point is with a well set up rig in a maker space or some of the online print houses now, you could afford to print quite a few very well made objects for a lower price point than owning you own. Of course, cost isn’t the only metric here. If I had an opportunity to try one out somewhere nearby I would have liked to experiment and learn a bit on their machines but wasn’t an option where I live.
