    I'm with Darren, The barrier to get into it is pretty low at this point. I honestly print things all the time, not just special projects.

    Hydroponic Tower

    Do you have any concerns about the porosity of the prints? I know some of the stuff I've printed for use with water before tended to leak a lot, unless I hit it with either a clear coat or some paint.

    Pi-Hole Ad and Malware Blocking

    Fed up!

    I've been migrating over time to as many battery operated tools as I can. I do have a few combustion engines but the unreliability of them continues to vex me.
