Finally got around to printing a bunch of lid holders and got everything nice and neat. Some missing because they are in use. Also you can see my printed spice rack.

Have you ever considered learning to make things out of wood? You can get a decent like table saw and learn to make something like this for less than a printer. Then once you're hooked you can buy an entire house because it has a great 3 car garage and than justify rewiring it for big 220v saws and drop 5 figures on tools because you're going to use them on the remodel. I could make some really pretty organizers now....

Hahaha yeah woodworking is definitely more expensive than 3d printing after the 1st project 😂

This is me as well, but my saw and tools don't get nearly as much love as my printer nowadays. Partially because of health issues but honestly I get into stuff and buy all the things I need to make awesome stuff but then move on to other projects. I think I just like buying nice equipment.
