When I worked at the library there was a man who would come in to use our 3D printer to print parts to fix his 3D printer.
He also designed his own “simple” machines and printed those as well. One of my favorite patrons bc he always came to the children’s desk to show me what he was working on.
While I get what your saying, I do think 3D printers reduce waste as they allow people to fix there own stuff
Yup, plastic parts on headset broke. Could not wear it in a useable manner anymore, taping did not hold.
Printed replacement parts (which I could not buy anywhere), still using it today. Good as new.
3D printing is a blessing if you’re not just using it to print flex-dragons.
