Hi and im a young adult who is yet to get a job and would rather do something like a sidehustle. ive been wanting a 3d printer or a laptop for a bit now but both are really expensive nowadys how do you all afford them. like i want to print a bunch of board games things, dnd things, and figures but i cant afford a 3d printer i cant even addord a candybar without involving a family member and i would feel bad if i asked a family member to but one for me and i dont even think they hav ethe money too.

is there something i can do to save up for a 3d printer or something like that?

is this by chance the wrong place to ask this?

    Not sure how old you are, but something like an Ender 3 is very affordable. If you put away just 5% of your paycheck every week, you’ll have enough for a printer very quickly. However if you’re not working at all, then obviously luxuries like 3D printers or laptops will be out of your budget.

    Your local library might have a printer you can use for free/cheap. Might also be worth checking a local makerspace to use their 3D printer
