Buying a 3d printer and learning CAD is unlocking a super power. You can put something from your brain into the real world. It's great for hyper specific parts.
That was blowing my mind the first time I printed a prototype. Still kinda does.
That and sharing models is great. Like I can literally download a physical object. Sure the printing is an extra step, but that's still amazing to me 10 years after firing up my first printer.
Yea I know, it's great.
I didn't because I didn't need one, but printing bridging features in zero-G must be something else.
Resin printing in space would be such a mess though.
