I was thinking about this question today as someone used our work printer for some personal stuff.

As for me, I am printing little things that I would say make it worth it. I’ve printed lens adapters for my camera for example. That’s worth a good 14 to 30 bucks per print. My most favorite photo was with an adapted lens that came from a projector. I also printed IEMs and those things are worth it. Listening to music is second to none on those things. Plus I printed the same shell but for ear protection and again the fit is perfect and sure there’s post processing to get smooth surfaces but in the end it looks like a professional made it. So I think 3d printers are worth it.

    Tell me. Can you buy food safe microwave safe plastic to print with?

    If so. Google the “Fasta Pasta” and tell me of you can print one half the size of a normal one.

    I want one. But my microwave is too small. And nobody makes a small one.

      Uuh…looks like any food- and microwave safe HDPE container can do what that thing does. Just go buy one that fits your microwave?

      No but I think I can 3D print stuff for playdough extrusion. Good idea!
