  • If you have any desire to make things or tinker, they’re fantastic. They’ll save you tons of time and possibly money also. I have a bunch of knickknacks and functional printed parts around my house now.

    If that’s not your cup of tea though, you probably don’t have a good reason to buy one. It’s also a hobby and if you don’t plan to use it for more than printing the occasional spare part which you could otherwise just buy at a store, I don’t think it would justify the cost.


  • If it helps, my high school was ahead of the curve on 3D printer adoption. Someone on the staff must have been in-the-know and somehow managed to convince them that the $3,000 purchase was worth it.

    I sure am glad that those prices have come way down since then.
















  • I used this feature for the longest time back when Photos storage didn’t count towards your free 15 GB if you used the compressed option. And then they went and made it so everything counted towards your 15 GB, no matter what quality you were backing up at, and suddenly my account was using too much storage space to keep receiving email. I go into Google Photos to clear out some of the largest pictures and videos to get a few gigabytes back, and it tells me that if I do that it’s going to also delete those photos stored locally on my phone. So now Google Photos is uninstalled because if I ever let it back on my phone it’s going to delete all my pictures.
