Wife thinks it’s a waste
I am thinking of buying a beginner level 3D printer, and when I told my wife, she seemed supportive at first, (I think she thought I was joking). Then I said, “It could be my new hobby”. For context: I just spent $800 and many hours building her a greenhouse for her new hobby (gardening). This new hobby of mine would cost less money and require no effort on her part. However, she rolled her eyes once she realized I was seriously considering this purchase. Then she said “More stuff for the landfill”. She was insinuating that a lot of 3D printed items end up in the trash.
Not seeking marriage advice here- we have a healthy relationship and great communication. Basically, I felt ill equipped to refute her point, because I could not think of examples of productive uses for 3D printer. That’s why I am here: please share the best uses for your 3D printer that you have discovered so far, anything I can share with my wife to justify this purchase. Like her, I also resent unnecessary waste. I am looking for productive items and things I can use in everyday life, things I can save money on purchasing by printing them instead, little life hack type items, etc. Also I want to print battle helmets for our cats but obviously that doesn’t help my case here lol. Thank you all!
