Like, why do you care so much if she’s sleeping with a new guy after just divorcing or her coming out or that rich family buying a new mansion? How does that affect your life?

Actually, your hobby could cure my hobby (resin printing).

This thread took an unexpectedly neat turn. I wonder if there’s a good hobbies community on Lemmy somewhere where folks post about the interesting stuff they get up to.

Or a hobby exchange where people help other people with their hobby in a mutually beneficial manner.

Shit, I just re-invented a barter economy didn’t I.

I’m still in the PLA printing world. It’s plenty sufficient for my electronics projects.

The makerspace here on campus has a resin printer and the results are really cool.

I am in it mostly for functional prints, but I couldn’t help myself and had to do some fun stuff when I started learning about resin and such. The details are amazing.

That was some of the neatest benefits to resin: organic shapes. When doing figures, creatures, and plants, resin is better than PLA for the final look and feel. The fineness of the print is also great. That’s a phenomenal Xenomorph and the details really show through.

I like PLA (and Petg & abs) for maintenance and utilities printing. Like, i print kitchen helpers like drawer dividers, hangers etc.

I printed a ton of helper stuff, as well as some house parts. We have a 1920 house, so there lots of odd books and crannies. In the past, I’d buy standard house parts (electrical covers, fixtures, etc) and then cut/mod them to fit. Now, I CAD up a custom part, print it, seal it with a clear coat, and bam! It fits perfectly.
