Oh go on and get him the printer. A small one doesn’t cost as much as the putters you got last week. Or did you forget about them already.
As others have said, 3D printers aren’t expensive. They eventually pay for themselves. My husband has one and has already printed various projects for parts, a new key fob, etc.
I’ve looked into 3D printers, but I don’t have any place in the house where I can set one up.
I’ve heard that once you have a 3-D printer, you can start printing 3-D printers and selling them!
Someday I’ll have one – maybe after a few mergers and bankruptcies eliminate the weaker brands.
Adam Savage is freaking awesome!
The first 3D printer I ever saw that actually worked was built into Robbie the Robot in Forbidden Planet. Have they gotten any better?
There are outfits on line that will print your designs for you, and even let you market them on their site for a (large?) piece of the action…
Show the boy odd jobs he can do around the house (and maybe neighbors) and let him earn it. That is the only way he will learn respect for money.
