Sometimes the journey is more important than the objective.

I have a 3d printer because I wanted to play with a 3d printer. Same with a drone, zero-turn lawn mower, welding machine, oscilloscope, and a host of other things my wife would be more than happy to tell you about.

Most of us here are engineers of one sort or another. We tend to have disposable income and a predisposition for gadgets.

I doubt many of us are truly ever under the delusion that we need these things.

I wouldn’t say it’s more important, I’d just say it’s a different interest.
