Agreed! Just beware that the Amazon Basics ones used to be awesome (black or grey ones) but the new ones (green) are garbage. I have some of the older ones that are 8 years old and still going strong, where as the new ones wouldn’t hold a charge after about a year of use.
I recently bought some Panasonic eneloop ones and although they are more expensive they seem to be much higher quality.
Can’t believe I haven’t seen “3D Printer” on here yet!
A serial hobbyist, with a lot of my interests waning in weeks to months after getting into them. But 3D Printing? I’ve been loving it for 10 years and there’s no signs of that slowing down.
Sure there’s goofy stuff you can make with it, but 95% of what I print are functional items. So often I need something for around the house and I can just print for cheaper and faster than ordering one online. Examples:
There’s thousands of things out there you can just download and print, or you can get into designing your own. It’s very rewarding to design a physical object and then upload it for others to use too!
Here’s some examples of some things I’ve designed or remixed from other designs: https://www.printables.com/@Foreverwinter_223629
The two printers I recommend are the Prusa Mk4 (~$1,000USD) or the Creality Ender-3 V2 ($225USD). The Ender print quality is very good, it just doesn’t come with several of the very nice features the Prusa has - if you can afford it get the Prusa! You won’t regret it.
What do you do with the fountain pens? Write/journal? Or do you more enjoy inking them etc?
