Hi and im a young adult who is yet to get a job and would rather do something like a sidehustle. ive been wanting a 3d printer or a laptop for a bit now but both are really expensive nowadys how do you all afford them. like i want to print a bunch of board games things, dnd things, and figures but i cant afford a 3d printer i cant even addord a candybar without involving a family member and i would feel bad if i asked a family member to but one for me and i dont even think they hav ethe money too.
is there something i can do to save up for a 3d printer or something like that?
is this by chance the wrong place to ask this?
Some libraries will have 3d printers that can be used for printing the odd thing.
Look to see if there are any “maker spaces” near you (although they are more like to charge for access)
You may be able to get a cheap second hand printer on various second hand sites.
Realistically - get a job, that’s how everyone else affords this stuff 🤷♂️ (not sure how old you are - you may be able to persuade your parents to get you a cheap printer if your interested in 3d modeling etc)
