It's wild how similar woodworking and 3d printing are.

  1. Get a 3d printer
  2. Print things for the 3d printer

With woodworking

  1. Get a table saw
  2. Make things for the table saw

Now I can mix and match

But you make ten coffee tables and you break even. And then it's all profit

I have thousands of dollars worth of equipment and I only give things away, there will never be a break even for me but that's not why I do it.

I look at it differently. I make 1 coffee table that does everything I want/need, actually like the way it looks, & break even, albeit mentally. Same, but different, I guess.
