The printer can be used for more than this, printers last many years, so calling it a ‘waste’ doesn’t make sense unless that’s the only thing you’ll ever print with it.
Once you have a 3d printer you find you print stuff that is certainly not world changing, but little things that genuinely make things slightly better. A headphone hook for my desk, a special case for a raspberry pi. One of my windows had a plastic bracket as part of the close mechanism that snapped, I designed a replacement and printed it. It’s one of those tools that can sit for months unused and then all of a sudden is the most useful tool in the world

What a complete waste of a day and hundreds of $$ on a printer when you could have just put the things in a drawer!
