Love the idea of having the Fusion book on hand. I get a lot of help from UA-cam when I get stuck on things but having the book to look things up without scrubbing through videos is great.
Clamps. Can never have too many clamps. Various hardware assortments. Screws, Dowel pins and bearings or bushings, heat shrink tubing, o-rings, grommets, connector housings and crimps etc. Should be able to look at what they have and find something related that they don't already have. If they have run out of something in a hardware assortment they already have, get a box of 100 of whatever size they ran out of.
It's to the point now where I have to be very specific with my gift lists. I have all of the general, basic stuff. Now it's a specific tool or this particular part or whatever.
I'm going to say that I think M.2 SSDs are a bad idea: firstly, fakes are rampant and I wouldn't trust random brands, and if I ordered from somewhere like Amazon where return scams are rampant, especially for good deals, I would *always* check with a tool like Fight Fake Flash to make sure it was actually the listed capacity, which means opening the gift which isn't ideal, people not having M.2 slots free can mean they have to decide what drives to replace, which means if you don't get a big enough capacity or a drive with enough performance they can be forced to downgrade on an axis, and while sure, you can put them in an enclosure, but it sucks to get a gift that obligates you to another purchase, and also the cheaper drives you are likely to get will be DRAMless and relying on HMB which won't work in most enclosures. I think only do it if you don't mind the gift not being a surprise, or know them well enough to know for sure they don't have requirements and what capacity would actually be useful to them, and buy from somewhere reputable that doesn't do marketplace stuff and you trust their sourcing to be legitimate from good brands.
@@agreen9831 I don't know. you're trading foot long filament for 1" tubes. Technically it's better, but then there is the time involved on top of it. I'm not sure it balanced out.
When I finish my mk3.5 upgrade (coming soon TM probably during the break as I JUST got it delivered this past weekend), I'll put the 2 sunlu's next to each other and it will give me 4 linear slots for each printer's mmu. If I need all 5, I can use the other side. Odds are I won't need 10 at once. lol If I do, I have 4 more dryers. LMAO I just wish the sunlu could be controlled over bluetooth.

Whenever my wife can't think of what to get me, she just gets me filament.

Can't go wrong!

Filament....lots and lots of filament.
This isn't a gift guide, it's a shopping list. 😂
You're welcome!
I love my Sunlu S4 4 filament dryer. It's nice drying up to 4 rolls of same type in one go.
I need to use mine more.

the one year I was hoping my parents would ask....they didn't. lol
I'm not sure I like the filament connector. It uses disposable PTFE tubes. I'm not sure I'm ok with that. It solves one problem by creating another.
yes. I agree, but a smaller problem at least

LMAO NO MORE DRYERS!!!!! I have 3x sovol dual slot, 1x filadry dual slot, and 2x sunlu s4 quad slot.

Sunlu going full steam marketing that connector but its such a waste
It has some value but it's not all that flexible. I'll do something with it eventually but we seldom use it in the ahop
Title should be "for 3d printer makers" ... There are tons of other hobbies that have 'makers' 😅
Adjusted.
