Hi and im a young adult who is yet to get a job and would rather do something like a sidehustle. ive been wanting a 3d printer or a laptop for a bit now but both are really expensive nowadys how do you all afford them. like i want to print a bunch of board games things, dnd things, and figures but i cant afford a 3d printer i cant even addord a candybar without involving a family member and i would feel bad if i asked a family member to but one for me and i dont even think they hav ethe money too.

is there something i can do to save up for a 3d printer or something like that?

is this by chance the wrong place to ask this?

    I get it, it sucks. Saving sucks too.

    Keep an eye out for deals and freebies, especially locally. I’ve seen Ender 3s go for $50 and sometimes free when the user gets frustrated.

    Don’t give up, save those pennies and keep hunting for deals.

      Might be worth checking Facebook Marketplace for people selling their printers too.
