What is something really stupid you purchased that turned out far better than expected? - eviltoast

I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn’t work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.

Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!

It went from stupid purchase to something I’d gladly replace if it broke.

    Now I’m thinking of getting one. But hear me out, I have a lot of tools already. And it will suck me in to stuff that I didn’t know existed.

      Get a Sovol SV06, it’s going to be cheap, easy to use, and minimal maintenance. You won’t regret it. Even if you just use it for jigs and custom clamp points, or something simple like replacing a missing end cap or something, every shop/garage/home can benefit from a 3D printer. It can be just another tool, or a hobby that consumes you, you can dive as deep as you want lol. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions!
