I wanted a Huey collective but people are asking a lot for them. So I bought a Snapmaker 1.0 second hand to build my own. Then I made 3 more collectives that paid for my machine. Then I sold 5 more and bought a second hand A250 so I can build bigger stuff for my flight simulator. So much learning is just so much fun isn’t it?
I wouldn’t want to have to be relying on mine for a business.
But it now has paid for itself. Made a few parts that were no longer being made for my pinball machine and coke machines. Printed some pieces for my daughters electric keyboard that were $3 a piece x 88 (one for each key).
Sold a few tap handles and coasters. That’s not even counting gifts and Christmas presents.

I’m a HD truck mechanic so no worries about making a living. 6 1/2 years from retirement so maybe this will be some “extra” on top of the paltry sum Uncle Sam hands out.
This is amazing buddy! You should consider applying to Airbus
