Modern 3D printers are getting more and more affordable all the time. Despite the lower cost and ease of use though, it’s still not super common for the average person to have a 3D printer at home.

A question I get most often when people find out that I own a 3D printer is, “What do you do with it?”.

My short answer is that I mostly use it as a fun hobby, but it occasionally has some practical uses as well. In terms of the practical side I use 3D printing to help fix things, to get me organized, and to nicely finish small electronics projects. On the hobby side I use it as a creative outlet to learn 3D modeling and design, for creating unique gifts, and to create fun things for around the house!!!
