So I have no experience with it but, I’ve been a bit interested In a 3d printer to make or replace little things we destroy or loose.

Anyone into it?

I impulses bought one today at princess auto as it was a hot deal…

Yep I dabble in 3d printing. Mostly functional prints and for repairing stuff. I use fusion 360 for CAD and PETG plastic for higher strength/melting point than PLA.
Here is a finger throttle that I've been running for years now. Worked so well I put one on my new sled too.

From the reviews I seen it seems to be a good printer but a little over priced for the size and type of filament it can print even at the sale price. My 250$ printer is way more capable. But the dremel was rated high for ease of use compared to my ender. But I also like to tinker with things. The best thing about it is it’s self contained were most others people usually build cabinets for them.

There is lots of good prints out there pre made to work with. Thingiverse.com is good place to start. Just search what you want to build and should be there. If you do have to build something fusion 360 has a free cad software that’s pretty good and lots of tutorials on YouTube.
