Personally: Hiking, biking, photography, DnD, and fixing things.
It sounds like a lot (because it is lol) but with ADHD having a group of hobbies I can orbit around (especially if they can overlap (like these ones))can help me avoid diving into too many new hobbies.
D&D, 3d printing, pen turning (making pens from wood and resin, not flipping them around on my fingers), MTG, and I dabble in woodworking and occasional metal working.
FYI: 3d printing pairs really well with D&D - minis, scenery, accessories, etc. Start with a cheap SLA resin printer to print minis on, then expand to filament when you’re ready to do scenery too. I have a resin printer and two filament printers.
3D printing is great and pairs well with all my hobbies. I’ve currently got 3 printers: 2 filament printers and 1 resin printer.
It’s been quite the struggle resisting getting a small CNC at this point but the biggest hurdle is space and thankfully I haven’t fixed that hurdle yet.
Ah, good to hear! I bought a tiny desktop cnc from microcenter for like $150 and apart from setting it up and doing a test cut, I haven’t used it once. Makes me a bit sad actually.
I think it was TwoTrees brand. Tbh, it’s pretty cheapass, and the slide bearings on the spoilboard mount suck, but it runs grbl and cut a dickbutt into a 2x4, so it works at least.
3d printing is useful for almost any hobby if you try hard enough!
We got really into making handmade dice for a while there, and used our resin printer to make custom master dice with our logo on. And I’ve used it to print out useful bits and bobs for cross stitch too. Someone I follow on Mastodon 3d printed a sock knitting machine, that was very cool.
I make music, primarily, but i also bounce a lot. I really love writing, which comes easier than music tho i do it less. Past that hiking is like an “as often as possible or my mind will break” thing. Even our tiny local park is nice for this purpose, but i try to get around as much as im able. I like corrupting the advertisements i get in the mail with sharpies and make them look more blinging. And satanic. Or perverted.
