A couple pieces niche test equipment that I'll ude once a year.
A suit of plate armour, and maybe a shield or a weapon.
An enclosed core XY 3D printer with a material changing system with a built in filament dryer.
The Bambu Lab P1S is a crazy good deal. If you get it with the older AMS that doesn’t do filament drying, it’s only €800.
There are some issues with Bambu Lab and their proprietary nature. But I’ve very much loved my P1S, and while I’ve tinkered with and upgraded it quite a bit, I’ve never NEEDED to the same way I did with older 3D printers (other than standard maintenance).
You can get Prusa’s Core One for a bit over the stated budget, but only if you do the assembly yourself. Which is fun! But you also don’t get the multiple material system included in that price.
Flight, hotel room, and entry fee to a major tournament. If you're splitting hotel costs maybe that'll cover 2-3 trips, and enough left over for a good fightstick.
All the Japanese language resources for a lifetime you need and then some more for lessons if you want.
- Wanikani and Bunpro might be about 300€ together for a lifetime.
- A few grammar books with extra exercises, like Genki, would be less than 200€ I think.
- Writing supplies, a computer, Internet access etc is assumed.
- 500€ Could likely get private tutoring for quite a few lessons I think. You may also want to look at courses by the nearby university or language school, or get additional support resources.
Japanese learning resources are really amazing nowadays. Tons of good free content too, like articles on grammar or YouTube Videos by people explaining stuff. If you cut Wanikani and Bunpro and go with Anki (FOSS) instead for SRS, you can go really cheap.
That is, the price you pay for learning the Japanese language is also that it takes a fuck ton of time to get anywhere. But then again, you understand Japanese after that, how cool is that??
A decent entry-level hardtail.
A surprising amount as prices have dropped considerably in the past few years. (3d printing)
A really nice bow, and probably enough arrows for a few years.
Seeing how my take down recurve easily cost 200, youve been set for life i think haha
A compound bow is a bit more expensive but not that much, and I also break a lot of arrows because of the kind of target we shoot at. In Dutch it's called a "wip", I don't know what it is called in English. If you hit the metal part or the mast, your arrows tend to break quite easily.
Oh ye, makes sense. I shoot at a foam target we hung between 2 trees because we dont like the things you shoot at, but i imagine arrows die quickly haha.
Even we destroy each other's arrows once in a while haha
Like 4-5 years of ancestry resources access, or maybe like a short trip to my grandparent's homeland to do my own research.
Or I can buy like A LOT of thread and cross stitch material. A lot.
If I really wanted to go HAM, about one third of a Norbauer Seneca. For me in reality, my laser engraver, 3D printer, soldering station, and other tools I typically use to do keyboard projects probably all come together to be about EUR1000.
Would that it 'twere my only hobby.
Imagine how much SALE steam games I can collect!
100s of components and boards
I can get a lot of weigths and a sick power rack
A practice pin, a new cart, and about 30 new discs!
... Or about one graphics card...
A new main sail
One card in a vintage deck.
You could get 2 or 3 duals, depending on colors, and have a bit left over for sleeves.
Admission to all the folk dances I would visit in a year as well as the localish festivals OR admission and basic-mid range gear for a LARP fest

A pretty good but not fantastic camera or lens
You guys have hobbies?
Idk, a mid tier graphics card?
3 months of food?
2 months of marina?
A nice short trip/vacation (a couple of days, maybe a week)?
Rear tires coz I like them fast?
A lot of planters and automatic watering systems?
A notable addition to my home lab?
I should get a life.
a mid tier graphics card?
GPU inflation is getting silly when 1000€ is just mid-tier.
200-300 12" singles. Thus reducing my Discogs wantlist by about... 12%.
One nice guitar or a couple decent guitars, one rare comic book or a shit load of common comic books
A mid-range direct drive simracing wheel, or a very nice ukulele.
Dnd A shit load of dice.
Bjj six months membership and the gi that comes with it.
