I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn’t work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.

Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!

It went from stupid purchase to something I’d gladly replace if it broke.

    A 3D-Printer, I thought I just play around with it and get bored, but you discover so many things that you can do!

    The handle on the fridge broke? Print new ones. Need a Flowerpot? Just print one. The router needs a wallmount? I have one ready in a few Hours.

    Also I can watch it print for hours, very fascinating and calming.

      So noob question - I got a 3D printer relatively recently and have printed a few things with it by downloading files from various websites.

      How do you go about making or getting files for your specific custom jobs like these please?

        I used FreeCAD to create my objects. It has quite a steep learning curve but it works for me.

        I heard good things about TinkerCAD which should be easier to use for some quick ideas.
