Nice! I've got no metal or woodworking skills, but I do have a 3d printer. I've been doing these types of repairs lately and it's just soooo damn satisfying. I replaced some broken pieces of a shoe rack the other day and felt like a god among men.

I'm yet to dive into that rabbit hole but it's just a matter of time. My understanding however is that the technology is already mature enough to be actually practical for normal users too.

Yeah I got my first printer something like 5 years ago and it was much more tinkering than the average person would probably want to put up with.

I bought a more modern printer recently and it's a night and day difference. For the most part, you can just tell it to print something with substantially less manual intervention.

Yeah but designing your own stuff takes time
