3D printer
Had no idea I needed a 3D printer until I checked my email five minutes ago, but I took the plunge and have bought one of these. -

Well, I have had thoughts about buying one, as there's a few things I would like to have a go at making, such as a new trigger handle for my big Hilti hammer drill that someone broke for me. Parts not available any more.Nev.

...with a three-color print head, you can easily create mixed color printing artworks
What colour will you make your new handle???

It will be a good learner Nev but you mind find the 100x100 mm cylindrical print volume is pretty small so expect to buy a bigger one soon
My son bought me a 150 x 150 x 150 cube print volume printer back in 2016 but I almost immediately gave it to him as I always wanted to print something just a bit bigger.
I recently bought myself a 300 x 300 x 400 and I'm worried that one will be too small.
I've found heaps of uses for mine and its been running almost 24/7 since I bought it.
Currently I'm printing out electronics/electrical project boxes.
As well as the boxes I also printed the fan grille, the glands (PLA) and the gland collars (TPU)

This box was printed including the cut outs for the glands and switch.

The biggest thing I've printed so far is the black plastic tray (185 x 185mm) for my 20 year old coffee grinder in the photo below
I also printed the big black funnel attached to the front of the grinder and the smaller funnel underneath.
Teh bigger one is 120 x 160 mm and converts my grinder from a "dosered" to A doserless" coffee grinder
