I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don’t hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don’t even use.

    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.

      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…
