I know I know I know...
Every time I feel the temptation, I think about the mess and chemicals and rubber gloves (that last one always does it for me somehow).
I don't have the space for it, nor the ventilation. It's just.. I like to design stuff and print it. And whenever my printer can't match my design, I get annoyed and blame it on my tools. Even though I know I should adjust my design instead.
Sorry, I'm ranting..
I have like elbow length chemical gloves and wear n95s and still will walk away feeling woozy if there is a lot of cleanup to be done.
I only have one at the request of my significant other and think that sometimes this push to move everything from factory to the consumers house doesn't always work. Some things need a proper setup and place and the home isn't always it.
Don't get me wrong I love the aspect of it literally making something from a digital mockup but would in a better world just want a space down the street to go to and have it done there. But makerspaces never really took off.
