What's on your Christmas list? (lemm.ee)

My in-laws are at me again for what I want for Christmas. They're very big on gifts. I mostly want some new joy cons for my Switch because mine have surrendered to stick drift. I can't believe they don't sell plain black ones any more.

Anyway, if you're blessed with relatives like mine it's time to start writing your list to Father Christmas even though you're in your thirties and own your own home.

What are you after?

Since I got a 3D printer, I don't have to buy filaments myself and all my relatives are happy they have easy gifts for me. For bigger gifts I just get printer upgrades. It's a fun hobby, can be useful and even make money, and it's great when you don't have to worry about the cost of materials.

This weekend I was literally buying 3D printed parts off a kid on our estate. I want my own but I have to go through the mother of all garage clearances first. Then I will be straight down that rabbithole.

If you like the idea of building the printer as a project itself, check out Voron.
