I have an Anycubic 4k resin printer. I'm in the US. Most of the time I am printing miniatures for tabletop gaming using STL files I find online. However, sometimes I want to customize them. And more than once I've needed to repair some broken household object and needed to print a part for it. I've also made a few original gifts for people from scratch. I'm not a very good sculptor, but I can make funny / cute things and put their name on it, stuff like that. I can also copy stuff pretty well if I have enough photos of it from enough 90-degree angles. It's a very fun hobby, I wish I had more time for it!
Oh, for sure. I feel ya there. Some days, I almost wish it was still just a hobby for me, heh. But, the hours are decent, and I absolutely love the creative aspect as well as the personalized service of most prints I make for others. I certainly had no idea that the "Satanic" pastimes I was up to in the early days would somehow build into a bonafide job, that's for sure. ๐คฃ๐ค
You actually succeeded in the quest from hobbies to career. Well done!
