I also want to get into 3d printing, and probably will before I find space for a lathe and mill
But that kind of scratches two different itches for me. I know there’s a bit more to it, but pressing a button and letting the machine do most of the work doesn’t really appeal to me, I want to do it manually.
There’s also the issue of materials, I don’t often find myself needing/wanting a plastic part, but I do find myself wishing I could get some custom made metal pieces
