Anyone else in this boat? It was said by a Bamboo user when I was chatting about my modded Maker Select and the Voron I'm about to build.

I do use the printer a lot for designing and making projects like the sensors I just launched or the Twystlock for Steam Deck, etc.

But I like tinkering/making more. For example I used to mod video game consoles more than I played them, so the comment made sense to me.

I don't have this problem, only because I'm actively working to avoid it. I tweak video games and get too tired to play them, I upgrade my motorbikes until I have none working on a sunny day. I'm aware of my faults.

My ender 3 has been working hard while I work even harder to ignore it's minor faults.

Perhaps it's not a problem? I don't really consider it a problem for me, I just consider myself a "maker" and accept the fact that my money is being invested in that experience, vs the experience the items are intended for.

No contest, our skills are well above average. it's only a problem when the wife requests a couple of quick and easy printed coats hooks and the printer(s) is in two large chunks

Hah, luckily my partner knows me, and while in a different field, she's also an engineer, so she at least gets it.
