Horribly inefficient party favors - eviltoast

My daughter wanted a “Gorilla Tag” birthday. And my wife wanted me to print some party favors for the guest kids. Not my model, but they are churning out ok-ish.

    Turns out that my 3d printer is mostly just a toy maker for my kids.

    Honestly looking at 3d printer ads and their selling points I think the printer companies have figured that out too

      Well, if you aren’t a maker, then buying a tool like that rarely makes sense. Why buy a CNC mill if you won’t ever have a project for it? Printers simply became popular and sound cool to everyone. So everyone gets them and only prints toys

        Yeah. Honestly this is one of those spaces where the product is being built first and the use case for it decided after for a lot of companies. I needed 3d printers when I was first getting into them but man my self built repraps sucked and now they are awesome and I don’t need it at all… Sigh.
