  • Software is free if you aren’t using it for commercial use. Fusion 360, onshape, etc. are all free for personal use. And that’s assuming someone didn’t make it already and share it free.

    Filament costs $17 for 1kg of perfectly fine plastic. You’d probably use 100g at most for this, so $1.70.

    A Bambu A1 mini is $200, and is a modern, high quality printer that would be fine for this project.

    So you only need like a half dozen of these projects to come out ahead.









  • I understand the sentiment, drugs, drinking, and sleeping around is a way to have an enjoyable time, but it’s not a way to create meaningful relationships.

    None of those three things are, by themselves, bad. But if you do them to excess, it can replace a real, stable social network.

    The point of getting married is that you legally tie yourself to another person in a way that is recognized by larger institutions. If you don’t have a spouse, or LEGAL family, then it can be difficult to make co-decisions. One of the major reasons why same sex marriage was such a huge deal, was that end of life support and care was almost impossible. You could live with someone for 30 years, but then when they’re in a coma in the hospital, you can’t legally visit them, or make medical decisions for them.
