I did something nice for someone, just 'cause.
/background Boyfriend writes books, and has beta readers from among his fans. He recently recruited me to collate the beta readers' corrections to his manuscript, and I also joined the fan channel one of them has set up on Discord. Guy and his girlfriend are college students, and money is pretty tight for them. /background
The channel owner has a 3d printer, but alas it had been non-functional for the better part of a year. To me, this is shameful. Makers gotta make. I was able to suss out the fix for part of his problem, and he worked out the rest on his own. The really nice thing I did was order and have shipped to him a flexible bed system for his printer, to eliminate one of the persistent problems he'd had with prints adhering TOO well. The second part, that he doesn't know about yet, is the 9 rolls of filament he'll get a few days later.
His girlfriend messaged me directly after we worked out the first part of fixing his printer, to tell me how over the moon happy he was. He'd been kind of in a funk for a while, because they dropped a lot of money on this thing, and hadn't been able to do anything with it, and couldn't afford to put more money into trying to get it working again.
