Thinking of buying a 3D printer, other than fancy projects, has anyone been able to find it useful in daily life, is it worth? Would love some feedback...

I think it’s worth it if you tinker around in 3D CAD software and design your own parts. You’ll get tired of it quickly if it’s just to make a phone holder, case, etc. Ny friend has it and used it to create a face mask, fake revolver, etc. I bought and used to have a cheap one but didn’t get a lot of use out of it.

It’s good for manufacturing things that would be a pain otherwise with a traditional mill or lathe. My dad has used ours to make a few QoL widgets for around the house and some misc stuff for his engineering work.

I’ve been meaning to use it to print spare Glock and AR mags but never got around to it. I think it’s most important to have some use cases in mind first and maybe a track record of making stuff, bonus points if you have CAD experience already.

Your post just solidified me buying one.

Friend’s husband has 3D printer for his own projects. She gets him to print out custom cookie cutters and etc 🤷🏻‍♀️

If these are common responses I bet there are a lot on Craigslist.

I'm looking for a 3 day a wk (8, 10 or 12hr shift) in review, quality review, UR/UM, pre-auth, and/or appeals. I was under contract performing medical record reviews for Medicare & Medicaid claims. I also have experience in revenue cycle (billing, appeals, etc). Additionally, I ran a surgery center as an Administrator and have dabbled in all aspects of running the company. Does anyone know of any places hiring remote on a flex schedule? I work volunteering 2 days a week and need flexibility.

I worked as Comms Dir. for 6 years at a nonprofit that hosts conferences as its primary activity. 3 yrs back, financial problems gutted staff and my position was eliminated- due to my intervention, my direct report remained.

It is now time to staff up for another conference and I’m welcome to return, but my direct report is being promoted to Comms Dir. they’d like to split the role somehow, but I can’t figure out how.
