>Sometimes, a hack solves a big problem. Sometimes, it’s just to deal with something that kind of bugs you. This hack from [Dillan Stock] is in the latter category, replacing an ugly, redundant downspout with an elegant 3D printed pipe. As [Dillan] so introspectively notes, this was not something that absolutely required a 3D print, but “when all you have a hammer, everything is a nail, and 3D printing is [his] hammer.” We can respect that, especially when he hammers out such a lovely print.

I just watch a bunch of online video and read articles and it was all sand sand sand start rough work to as fine as your willing to take the time to do and I went 1200 grit and my arms hurt but it came out amazingly nice on the final finish, but not like plastic like fine furniture. I just walked away after each coat for like a day so I wouldn't get impatient and sand half dry or apply another coat early. Patience was the key since it was the only great thing I did beside the 4 ft skateboard when I was a teenager that I wiped out on doing around 50 and that does hurt like hell.

That is part of the point. Willing to do the hard work but also willing to wait for the results. It's not just today but people have been so impatient and stupid for decades to the point that no one is willing to just put in the work.
