Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I had a 20+ Yr old car with a key fob that had broken, so it would stay on a key ring and wouldn't stay closed.
Wreckers wanted $700 for a new key fob case as I'd have to buy the whole second hand keyless entry system.
A small 3d printer cost $650.
I bought the printer, then designed and printed my own key fob case, including replacing the worn out rubber buttons with some harvested out of an old kitchen timer.
No one was ever impressed or interested with the whole thing, so I figured this meets the criteria for inclusion here...
Impressed and interested. May even not be dull enough for this community 🤔
Awesome job. And you got a 3-D printer out of it.
That's quite the key fob journey, though!
I'm curious as to the 3d printer. How long ago was this and where are you located that a small printer was $600+? And is this USD or?
It was Flashforge Adventurer 3, and was $600 AUD, this was all pre COVID.
Ah. Flashforge and Oz. That answers all, thanks :-)
I was gonna say, my first 3d printer was a DaVinci MiniMaker for about $250 USD back around 2014 or so, so $600 for a small printer was blowing my mind.
