What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into?
Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.
Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

3d printing.
Started out with a cheap printer, mostly to supply my friends with miniatures and terrain. They loved the stuff I printed for them, so gave me money for my effort, which went into upgrading my printer and buying more supplies and buying a new printer so I could print better, bigger things for them.
Then, so enamored by what 3d printing could do, they bought their own 3d printers.
and now no one talks to me cause I no longer have any use and i'm stuck with a printer I havent even removed from the box and assembled for 3 years, and another printer that only stays around because every 2-3 months something comes up where I can design and print a part to fix something around the house.
I have been trying to get into 3D printing! It sounds so cool! Can't you connect your printers to the cloud so that other can print using your setup? Maybe you can charge for their usage based on your costs.
I don't think you read the last paragraph :(
Hey, there are some fun 3D printing projects you could get into if you look around. Sometimes it's the perfect tool to launch into a new hobby! I'm working on a hydroponic tower currently, as well as some Mandalorian armor for Halloween.
