minus-squareaCosmicWave@lemm.eeOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up14·8 months agoDoes it still count as “imadeit” if I made it using a hodge podge of other people’s parts? Haha, I ordered the custom shell from eBay ☺️ but it feels very high quality (not 3D printed)
minus-squareTheTetrapod@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up21·8 months agoAs a 3d printer enthusiast, I object to you implying that 3d printed parts aren’t high quality, while acknowledging that you’re very correct.
minus-squarerecursive_recursion [they/them]@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·8 months agoagreed, sometimes it makes sense to accept that trying to do everything isn’t worth it
minus-squareOtter@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8 months agoIt also makes more sense in this context IMO 3D printing is really cool for when you need a small amount of a custom part When you need to mass produce something, you might as well invest in equipment to make it faster and for cheaper
damn!
