For example, I play the drums and tend to think of myself as a drummer. Do you love games, consider yourself a gamer? Are you a chef, a bodybuilder, maybe an artist? What is it that you love to do?

    Nerd. I just do a ton of nerdy things, s’all. I can program, design in CAD, play PC games, design electronics, work in IT security, work on 3D printers, grow mushrooms of all kinds and the list goes on. For the most part, I just like to learn about all kinds of engineering things. Learning about quantum physics is my newest endeavor, but not at super high level of course.

    What has happened over the years is that I have just learned to exploit my ADHD and all of my hobbies tie into each other somehow. It’s more efficient and it helps if I start to lose interest in one of them for a bit.

    Edit: Even my profile here is filled with a ton of random information. I just have researched a ton and done a metric fuck ton of things, s’all. It quite literally is a mental condition. Lulz.

        Fusion360. It’s mostly used for designing stuff for 3D printing. I use it a ton for random things around the house as well as to supplement my other hobbies.

        I don’t put much stuff on Printables, but here is one of the more “successful” ones: https://www.printables.com/model/548516-printable-drywall-mount (It somehow got listed as a featured model on the frontpage. That was… random.)

        I’ll use it for larger projects where I need to simulate movement, like for a full CNC machine I am designing.

        This CNC z-axis was fully designed in CAD so I could print out templates for drilling holes and also pre-test for stresses. It’s an upgrade I had to make for my cheap 3018 CNC to mill PCBs and cut parts for my new CNC:

      It’s definitely allowed. I’ve met lots of people who gave me the distinct impression that they were wankers.
