Anyone else in this boat? It was said by a Bamboo user when I was chatting about my modded Maker Select and the Voron I’m about to build.

I do use the printer a lot for designing and making projects like the sensors I just launched or the Twystlock for Steam Deck, etc.

But I like tinkering/making more. For example I used to mod video game consoles more than I played them, so the comment made sense to me.

    I’m a Bambu user (sorry). My Dad bought me a ln A1 Mini for my birthday 6 months ago, and I’ve since bought a second mini with the AMS, and a big-boy A1. I have them set up in a converted garden shed along with my laser (Laserpecker 4). I insltalled AC, radiant barrier, and insulation. and put up a bunch of Skadis wallboard, added some workbenches along 3 sides of the room, etc. Turns out the previous owner had seriously screwed up the electrical service to the building (plugs would operate at different voltages depending on how many breakers were turned on - scary stuff), so last week I ran new electrical service from the pole to the building (about a 300ft trench).

    I’ve printed hundreds of hangers for the skadis wall and laser ventilation systems, etc. I’ve designed custom mounts for my laser accessories, custom conduit for some of the electrical lines (nothing exposed to the elements), and more.

    I’m worried because my project for the past 6 months has been creating the perfect hobby space, and I’m almost done.

    I don’t know what to do after that…
