It's wild how similar woodworking and 3d printing are.
- Get a 3d printer
- Print things for the 3d printer
With woodworking
- Get a table saw
- Make things for the table saw
Now I can mix and match

There is another way I find 3D printing and woodworking are similar:
3D printing: buy a $500 printer an $30 worth of filament, make a $20 feather board
Woodworking spend thousands on equipment and hundreds on wood to save buying a $200 coffee table
I still love both things though....
But you make ten coffee tables and you break even. And then it's all profit
I have thousands of dollars worth of equipment and I only give things away, there will never be a break even for me but that's not why I do it.
I look at it differently. I make 1 coffee table that does everything I want/need, actually like the way it looks, & break even, albeit mentally. Same, but different, I guess.
