Weekend 3d printing warriors

Who else pretty much only gets to run their 3d printers on the weekends due to their jobs during the week? I build up a list of all the prints I want to make throughout the week then when Saturday and Sunday come around I print like a mad man.

Any other weekend 3d printing enthusiast out there and what's on your list?
The fucking LEGEND.

I just saw a sale for a ender for like $100. IDK where you are in the world or if it would apply. There's some cheap printers out there that can produce some decent quality prints. I currently have a elegoo and I really want to upgrade a prusa or Bambu labs.

Is your printer a resin printer or can you do other materials as well?

I have what's called FDM. It's the pla filament using printer. I'm not a fan of the complicated process that is resin printing. FDM can just slice and print.

I print all sorts of things from cute little animals, cases for electronics, desk stuff, guns lol... Honestly I've even replaced light switch covers with a printed version so I didn't have to go buy a faceplate...

3D Printers can be funny and useful sometimes

What do your print? Got any advice? I am currently buying a new computer system and looking to buy a couple 3d printers.

Do you know of any that handles metal? I am trying to prototype computer cases and pcbs.

Is it plastic cases for your electronics or can it use steel or other metals?


also you said you 3d printed a gun? Does the guns work? I was thinking on trying to see how people make ghost guns.

No, just interest on how it's done. It's too risky because when you build it you need to test it.

If the calculations are off by a little it can instead of being a gun will end up exploding.
