I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don't hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don't even use.

I kinda regret buying my 3d printer. Not because it sucks, it's more because it reminds me I don't have any free time to do something this time consuming.

Another one is the cast iron wok. I love my cast iron pans, but the wok is just to damn heavy and it you can't really use it like one would use a normal lightweight wok.

I have a 3d printer. It used to be a big hobby of mine, but now its just a tool like anything else. I print out practical stuff that i need when i need it, and when the printer is having issues i swear and curse at it like any regular paper printer.

Most recently ive been using it to print out new belts out of flexible filament for my rock tumbler.

I already fail at investing the time to level the bad and such stuff. I really would love to use it. But next to work, trying to bootstrap and family time there is not really time left.

I always wanted to print stuff for build small robot parts for Arduino and raspberry pi. Maybe one day when the kids are older...
