What hobby seems to have the worst hoarders? (kbin.melroy.org)

I think people who are into crafts. They have all of these yarns, construction papers, various tools and stuff. All so that they can say that they have all of these projects in mind that they want to do. But they never do them so they get more crafting stuff and it just eats away storage until their place is practically consumed by it.

3d printing, if you start it’s a wormhole, where you end up wanting more and more different types of printers, print a lot of useless crap, have a lot of filament lying around, and spare parts. Not as space consuming as automotive or woodwork etc but if you live in a small apartment without a dedicated room for hobbies it can get pretty crazy.

I keep trying to get into it. I have one and do some neat things with it. But personally. I've found it to just be another tool to fabricate for some other projects. But the little knick knacks keep being the main models showing up on printables and thingiverse.

I'd love to see a repository of 3d models of parts for various machinery and car parts. My entire interior is basically molded abs, why aren't there models of all those pieces I can just print?

I wonder if one of those 3d phone scanning apps would be enough for something like that with a few measurements.
