I kinda regret buying my 3d printer. Not because it sucks, it's more because it reminds me I don't have any free time to do something this time consuming.
Another one is the cast iron wok. I love my cast iron pans, but the wok is just to damn heavy and it you can't really use it like one would use a normal lightweight wok.
I think most traditional woks are carbon steel, seasoned similarly to a cast iron but much lighter. You could give that a try?
Yeah I asked my family for a wok a few years ago and got this beautiful one that was cast iron and way too heavy. I ended up getting a carbon steel one which was about a third the weight
I thought about that a few times, but my wife doesn't want another wok that's taking space. So would need to fine a new home for old one, which doesn't seem to easy.
Thrift store. It’d be an absolute find to someone who loves buying weird kitchen shit there
I recently got a glazed ceramic pizza stone for $2 at my weird kitchen stuff thrift store and have been having a blast with it.
Might be a good idea. I hope I find one in my area. Thrift stores aren't that common here.
I have a 3d printer. It used to be a big hobby of mine, but now its just a tool like anything else. I print out practical stuff that i need when i need it, and when the printer is having issues i swear and curse at it like any regular paper printer.
Most recently ive been using it to print out new belts out of flexible filament for my rock tumbler.
I love my 3d printer...when it works. I have a major bed leveling problem from when I was cleaning the bed and forgot to put the plate on so the extruder came down and ripped off the magnetic sheet underneath. Been having problems ever since. I also can't get the damn thing to print petg.
I already fail at investing the time to level the bad and such stuff. I really would love to use it. But next to work, trying to bootstrap and family time there is not really time left.
I always wanted to print stuff for build small robot parts for Arduino and raspberry pi. Maybe one day when the kids are older...
You could look into a carbon steel wok: You can season them like cast iron but they're much lighter.
