Anyone else in this boat? It was said by a Bamboo user when I was chatting about my modded Maker Select and the Voron I'm about to build.

I do use the printer a lot for designing and making projects like the sensors I just launched or the Twystlock for Steam Deck, etc.

But I like tinkering/making more. For example I used to mod video game consoles more than I played them, so the comment made sense to me.

Dont be sorry, that sounds great! Every time I get close to finishing the office/workspace, I find something else.

I thought I was done, then I designed the Twystlock to hang accessories for the steam deck in the corner: https://nowsci.com/twystlock/

Then I designed the pegboard mounts for the tools: https://nowsci.com/pegboard/

Then I made sensors to track presence and the air quality while working/soldering: https://nowsci.com/only-sensor/

Now I'm finishing up a solder fume extractor that I'll be posting next.

It never ends.

Just got back from Christmas dinner and took some pictures of the progress. It's not done, but it's functional.
