3D printing, have been unable to continue but apparently it's a known thing with 3D printing where people do it in waves
3D printing only goes as far as you have projects.
If you run out of projects, you sort of run out of things to do.
But all that changes when you encounter something that is broken.

fountain pens and art stuff. nope. I'm too busy now with way more responsibilites. got two promotions and two pets and a side business now. don't have hours of downtime during wfh like i did in 20/21. Now I have about $500 in pens that i only use to sign check and a few other things.
But you do have something! Your hobby was productive even if short lived. There's always a chance to pick it back up someday.
I took an electronics class in high school and always thought about getting into the hobby. It took 20 years and a pandemic, but I finally did. Though with the availability of cheap micro-controller dev boards I haven't gotten as deep into it as I always imagined. Most of what I do is just wiring components to GPIO pins with the occasional pull-up/down resister.
I bought my guitar about twenty years ago and probably learned how to play half a dozen chords before the pandemic. So i did nearly the same thing.
I started making scented candles. I mostly started because I was trying to recreate a particular scent that we don't seem to be able to find anymore. I've gotten sort of close but not, like, super close. I liked experimenting with lots of different types of scents, though, and it's nice to always have something around to help get rid of cooking odors in the kitchen, freshen up a bathroom, etc.
I haven't made any in a while -- not for any particular reason, though, although it is harder to want to do something that involves being over a stove a lot during the summer. I really should get back to it soon.

I happened to pick up an interest in DJ'ing right before Covid hit, and I've been doing it ever since. Now that things have opened back up, I've even had a couple of gigs and made a very modest profit on it. And I still enjoy adding tracks to the catalog, figuring out where I want my cue points and making notes for what works well with what.
Started getting into coffee with all the snobbish attachments of it.
Still enjoy it. But bought a nespresso machine in the meantime. I just wanna have coffee to wake up, not do the whole ritual.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
