3d printed Mouthpieces?

Anybody try their hand at this?

I've seen tons of uses for 3d printers and noted online there's models of mouthpieces out there, so in a splurge, I've purchased a printer and a bunch of PETG filament to give it a shot.

Let me know your experiences if you have any!

Pretty much the OP.

Single, no kids, never married.

I just switched jobs after 3 years of a "toxic" situation to a whole new place. Being somewhat of a recluse not sure what's best for me.

I used to be a musician but that got sidelined in the quest to try to reshape my career prospects (tech). Bass/ Sax.

I tried to get into 3d printing lately but I'm apprehensive, to put it lightly. I just feel like all my hobbies are useless/ nonprogressive but idk I like watching craft videos and thought some of it might loop back to music.

"I'm not sick but I'm not well" is the way to put things; trying to boil off my stress silently without giving too much indication of what happened with the old scene. Trying to lose weight but love the same foods I did when I'm younger. 6'1 and trying to figure out what's both low impact and effective for me.

I have undiagnosed/ updated "autism spectrum disorder" but still wrestling with if it'll mean anything if I get diagnosed other than more paper.

In the last 1-2 years my eyesight has gotten overall more shitty, to the point I have to bring the phone etc up to my eyes (like 3 inches) to see things clearer.

I'm not really going for a play for sympathy but I just feel like the physical changes in my 40s are mixing with conflict of personality/ drive where I used to look towards gaming/ playing music and you reach a point where whatever it is, isn't "cool" anymore. I get done with my shift and I'm just ready to mentally clock out.

Anyone go through a similar patch or am I just showing my proverbial hand of cards?
