To get a 3d printer or not to get a 3d printer

Note: Read out aloud to Google recorder, and transcribed, edited for clarity.

I'll mention in one of the next posts, how i was obsessed about buying E-ink yesterday, Friday. Then I was obsessed about buying a new phone. I tried for an hour with metro mobile, didn't work, whatever don't care. Now i'm thinking if i should buy a cheap 3d printer, if it's less than 100 bucks and if it doesn't give me a lot of ache, I'm thinking what's the downside of that?

Because it's a new technology and i do want to explore it and explore the potential. The only potential concern is, i don't know what i'd use a 3d printer for. Like everybody makes trinkets and other crap that they don't actually need which is fine. I can do that too, and i guess it's an excuse for me to learn some sort of 3d modeling stuff. But i wanted to be useful, you know, like i don't know, something for my fermentation projects and other projects maybe gardening. Really trying to come up with actual like use cases that would need me to 3d print things.

I'm not a maker, I know. That one of the biggest regrets I have. I wish I'd taken more mechanical engineering and proper engineering-engineering courses because I can't make anything with my hands, like any physical object. I'm a creator but not necessarily a physical maker.

Having a 3d printer would get me started on that, creating physical objects. That's one upside. The one other concern is would I actually ever get into that or would the 3d printer just sit around not doing anything? Like my hydroponic set, it's been a month and half since I bought it and I spent like 60 70 bucks on the entire set. I tried buying the seeds at a couple of places but it didn't work out and it's just been sitting on my bookcase, just like that. I don't want that to happen to my 3d printer as well.

If I see another really good deal like the recent one I saw on slick deals, I'm definitely gonna make the jump and get myself a 3d printer.
