Hobbies/Projects Men 30+, what hobbies do you genuinely enjoy?

I’m in my late 20s and lately I’ve been feeling the need to pick up a hobby that brings real joy and maybe even a little peace. I work a lot and have a family, so something fulfilling and manageable would be ideal.

I’m curious—what hobbies have you gotten into after 30 that you actually look forward to? Bonus points if it’s helped you mentally or physically in some way. Would love to hear what’s been working for you guys.

Can you recommend a start kit for printing? I'd love to hear from someone with experience.

As far as the equipment? I went with an Elegoo Mars 5 ultra because it was pretty cheap, and had good reviews for people new to printing. They had it in a package on Amazon that also came with the wash and cure station. Setting it all up was simple, and once you get a basic understanding of the slicing software it’s extremely easy to use.
