3D printing came back at me hard. Getting to use the school printer in high school was cool and now that I'm an adult I've bought 3 of my own.

If it helps, my high school was ahead of the curve on 3D printer adoption. Someone on the staff must have been in-the-know and somehow managed to convince them that the $3,000 purchase was worth it.

I sure am glad that those prices have come way down since then.

It's pretty amazing to have teachers and faculty like that 💜

I graduated in 2010 and my high school had a 3d printer. They weren't common in the 2000's but they were around.

I graduated 2005 and 3d printing wasn't even a concept at any school in my district.

Being an adult is pretty neat sometimes

I've got an older resin printer I used for Warhammer, I'm thinking it's just a matter of time before I start trying FDM to make useful stuff.

I just don't see the point. I can't think of any good reason to have one personally.

I would love to be proven wrong though.

If you have any desire to make things or tinker, they're fantastic. They'll save you tons of time and possibly money also. I have a bunch of knickknacks and functional printed parts around my house now.

If that's not your cup of tea though, you probably don't have a good reason to buy one. It's also a hobby and if you don't plan to use it for more than printing the occasional spare part which you could otherwise just buy at a store, I don't think it would justify the cost.

For that you need a FWA3DP, a friend with a 3D printer. Mine prints me parts every few months when I randomly need something.
