Warning: My 3D printing hobby turned into a month-long money pit

So I jumped into 3D printing after seeing cool videos online. Bought a printer on sale, thinking it was a steal. But filament is not cheap, and I got carried away ordering different kinds. Then I messed up by not leveling the bed right, which ruined a big print. Had to spend more on new nozzles and tools. All this time, I was ignoring my regular chores and bills. My roommate had to remind me about rent because I was so focused on fixing prints. Honestly, it taught me to balance hobbies with adult stuff better.

Tell me about it, my D&D miniature addiction has its own line item in my budget now.

How bad is it for you? My "to-paint" pile has its own cabinet now.

That's nothing... my pile got so big I had to buy a whole new shelf unit just for the shame. It's basically a monument to my bad choices now. Honestly starting to think the building might collapse.
