I’m sure many have this problem of, what do I buy for the person who has everything I can already afford? 'cause I have that problem now. My dad has gone deep into 3DPrinting in his retirement (he handed me down my Ender 3). He’s got both an Ender 3 and a resin printer, tho I can’t remember what model.

I was hoping to pick the hive mind for some useful 3D printing related ideas that won’t break the bank. Some useful utilities that maybe I hadn’t thought of. I’d really appreciate any help.

    I’m sure he would always appreciate more filament. You can discreetly check what brand/type he uses next time you visit him.

    Since he’s on the older side, something like a Helping Hands (2 holdie things and a magnifying glass) might also be appreciated.

    If he likes to design things, one of the more uncommon tools that might be helpful would be a set of radius gauges.
