I wish I had a 3d printer at Home to repair many broken appliances that only needed a small spare part.

AI has already torched my creative side project I have spent hundreds of hours on to hopefully one day it replaces my miserable income. now that AI has been able to generate acceptable videos by the public. my revenue went down by 80%. and people are expecting lower prices in times of inflation
