gollark: I'm sort of interested in 3D printing, but don't really have much of a use for it (I don't really have any other sort of workshoppy stuff to complement it or things to print), or the money. It does seem to be getting cheaper and more useful as time goes on (more prints being available etc.) so who knows.
