Fortunately (maybe unfortunately for my wallet), you can now get a pretty high quality resin 3D printer unit for a few hundred dollars or less.

The print times are still pretty long and the resin smells atrocious and requires a bit of clean-up, but that’s a pretty low price to pay for the ability to print nearly anything you can imagine at will.

There is a growing community of people online who design cool things and share them for anyone to print. You’ll find everything from designer vases to figurines of Baby Yoda.

If, like me, this kind of tacticle creative outlet is intensely attractive to you, be careful how much you look into this.

You might be surprised by how accessible it’s become.
