Does anyone here also like 3D printers?

Yep, i do have a filament printer (Bowden, so no TPU for me, yet), and i mostly do functional parts of any kind.
This thing has saved me a ton of money already and made me even learn 3D modeling using 3D Builder (the easy route) and FreeCAD (mainly for threaded stuff and parts based on advanced geometry). Some of you might know FreeCAD, it's a bit of a pain in the ass to use, but delivers perfect results if you do it the "FreeCAD way" from start to finish.

I haven't got into 3D printing, but I've been using CAD since the mid 90s.  I love FreeCAD, it's an amazingly powerful tool, and you can't beat the price.  I've been using to build all the parts for the M14 rifle, just toying with it for fun when I have time.  I have almost all the receiver parts ready but just need to get back into it and build barrel and gas system assembly and the stock assembly.

Here's the bolt assembly in FreeCAD, all parts drawn from blank sketches:

One advice I always give to those with 3D printers: don't just print ready-made parts you download from the net. Instead, try to make your own 3D models in tools such as Autodesk Inventor, or even Tinkercad. Unleash your creativity and make your own unique parts. The possibilities are almost endless, limited only my the material used and the capabilities of the printer, which nowadays are pretty impressive for the price.

3D Builder is a good starting point for beginning modeling. It's basically combining/substracting simple parts to/from each other, and also included from Windows 10 and higher.

I've seen TinkerCAD and meant to play around with it.  Many of those on-line free packages are so limited, though I always thought it would be a waste of time.

I've used so many CAD packages over years, Inventor, Unigraphics, and many that I don't even remember anymore.  Lately Solidworks seems to be the most common in the industry just because of it's price point.  That's what I've been using at work for the last decade.

TL:DR The moral of the story is at the very end of the article...
"if the yen continued to weaken, achieving financial freedom might remain out of reach, rendering his 21 years of hard work seemingly pointless and tragic."

 That is one sad story.  Is there any way someone could teach him about bitcoin... and maybe fresh plums? ffs

An interesting short video of Robert Kiyosaki:

• Why would you save money, when they are printing money?
• In this Fractional Reserve System (or the Current Banking System), you are told to save money. You save 1$ so that Banks can lend out 10$

https://www.tiktok.com/@hey_capitalclub/video/7229644503274016026

I've not heard anyone advise others to save for about 17 years.

People's grandparents used to do I think.
But mine have all been dead since about that time.

For sure the idea of saving is not a bad one, and so for sure, the criticism of savings relates to the ongoing debasement of cash - and frequently people are still mislead about whether saving is a good thing or not - and yeah a lot of the debasement of the cash does encourage poor people to not save, since the cash is not holding its value.. and so if they do not have any place to put their money in order to hold value they will spend their cash more quickly... and sometimes their consumptive goods will hold value more than the cash would have had done. 

There do seem to be quite a few investments that have come available to normies, including bitcoin, yet normies still might not appreciate the value of investing and/or savings because they have been so perverted over the past several years... including the largely disappearance of the interest rate... and yeah, sometimes the interest rate that banks provide does not even keep up with the rate at which the money is debased (or the rate at which prices go up, which also varies from product to product).

Banks always have a win-win scenario for themselves. Saving money in Banks looks lucrative but the profit given by Banks is proportional to inflation rate. So if you are saving money in Banks (say 5 to 10 years) then you get profit which will be neutralised by inflation rate.
I want to buy a new car and for that I am saving money but whenever I am getting close to value of car then price jumps to new higher value. That's why I gave up idea of buying new car and gave up the concept of saving money to buy new car.
To me you must have some cash in savings that is readily available to counter your necessary and emergency needs, money over that must be invested somewhere.

You attack another country and leave yours undefended - really genius

For those wondering what Putler thinks about it, the look on his face says it all.
