I have a dust-covered 3D printer because I bit off more than I could chew with an extruder upgrade. I actually mostly got it installed, to the point that I needed to tune the extrusion rate… but then I wired the fans wrong (because I wanted a 2nd fan) and gave up after that (I also have some chip that might be for the 2nd fan, but no idea now the change in firmware for it). Particularly because of the annoyances I already had (slicers not handling mechanical tolerances, heat, print time, material cost, print software in Linux, the idea of fumes, endless upgrades etc).
Stuff is probably better now, but I have whatever the other side of sunk cost fallacy is. Sunk ship fallacy? Plus not so big on the idea of plastic.
I could probably trade my printer for a smaller/newer one, but I don’t know anyone (sparse area) and no car. At one point I had hopes for the Peachy Printer but that turned into the co-founder’s house (and resin is even worse with fumes and cost, anyway).
Other than that would be the PS3, because mine got the YLoD (I fixed it a few times until it overheated). I have another I traded for back then (it had a broken disc drive, I swapped mine in), it still works but the thermal paste is probably dry (or at least the fans spin up easily and keep running, I have no idea if it’s running too hot).
Does the water give fish arms and legs?
Actually scratch that it don’t matter. How much river water do I have to drink until my pollution stops? Or maybe not if it makes me piss more. Isn’t that pollution? Some kind of sick game you’re pulling here, buster.
