I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don't hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don't even use.

I have a 3d printer. It used to be a big hobby of mine, but now its just a tool like anything else. I print out practical stuff that i need when i need it, and when the printer is having issues i swear and curse at it like any regular paper printer.

Most recently ive been using it to print out new belts out of flexible filament for my rock tumbler.

I love my 3d printer...when it works. I have a major bed leveling problem from when I was cleaning the bed and forgot to put the plate on so the extruder came down and ripped off the magnetic sheet underneath. Been having problems ever since. I also can't get the damn thing to print petg.

I already fail at investing the time to level the bad and such stuff. I really would love to use it. But next to work, trying to bootstrap and family time there is not really time left.

I always wanted to print stuff for build small robot parts for Arduino and raspberry pi. Maybe one day when the kids are older...
