    This seems a bit strawman to me, no? The people who are doing crazy builds with hundreds of parts are often doing it specifically for your social media impression. Most of the stuff I print on my Prusa is small parts for my bikes or my car. Little missing pieces of fixtures around the house. If I’m ever printing something feckless it’s because a friend really wanted a 3d articulated slug. I will say though, the waste plastic from edges, supports, failed builds, etc adds up over time and it’s dead-end waste like most other plastic. I have several paper grocery bags full of the stuff. But that’s exactly why I don’t like printing feckless crap.
