  • I’d say definitely. The first useful thing I printed was during the pandemic where all the paper towels you could get were those z fold ones you see in office building bathrooms. Suffice to say, most people don’t have a container at home for those types of paper towels, so I mocked one up that was like a home tissue box and printed it out. Saved myself 80+$ on making one instead of buying one on Amazon (also they’re all wall mounted and I didn’t want to do that)

    Since then I’ve printed toilet paper roll holders, plant pots, catch all bowls, insulated drink holders, tie racks, jewelry racks and boxes, all manner of things I use almost every day, and I’ve learned about 3d modeling as a result (not really good yet but still) so win win.

    Edit: I’d say at this point I’ve definitely printed more than how much the printer costed in terms of things I use. Printing mini figures and scenery for tabletop games alone has exceeded the cost it would have been to buy that stuff.

    Yes I have an fdm and a resin printer, but they’ve both got a lot of good use and yes absolutely worth it.





  • Edit: I am dumb, of course the source code is out there. I have visited this repository a thousand times but my monkey brain can’t remember what I ate for breakfast.

    Everyone download the hell out of it and never let this die.

    If it isn’t already open source, Yuzu team needs to get that shiz open source post-haste. Let’s get that code absolutely everywhere.

    When that popular manga app Tachiyomi got legal bonked, the bajillion forks of it kept some semblance of the original going.

    I know there’s money to be made and something like an emulator is considerably more complex than a book reading app/scraper, but it would at least give the project a chance of not dying forever.




  • Anker 332 USB-C Hub (5-in-1) with 4K HDMI Display, 5Gbps - and 2 5Gbps USB-A Data Ports and for MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Dell XPS, Lenovo Thinkpad, HP Laptops and More https://a.co/d/0GivPgb

    Just got this one and it’s TINY. I have the other one that the guy above posted and I needed a second one so I got this because sale. If you don’t need external SD card support then this one is great.

    They are both great by the way but this one again, is super dupes portable.

    Edit: yeah no Ethernet but I don’t need that when traveling because I’m usually not in a situation where there even is one available.
