You're going to a lot of effort to not actually mention what this thing is, which makes me wonder what it is and I suspect knowing that would provide additional and useful context.
100%
OP doesn't even need to answer, the omission of this kinda indicates they potentially already know why
uhhhh isn’t it a new 3d printer? i thought it is? might be wrong
Nope.
Their partner got them their last 3d printer. Whatever this item is, the version they want to keep is something that came from their mother in law.
Oh you know what, you might be right. I read that part as a non sequitur
On the other hand, maybe it's a misplaced attempt at maintaining their privacy?
I'm guessing it's a niche thing easily recognized
The boring answer is that it's just not important for the story, but I chose to believe that it's about an old denty disheveled dildo with a handcrank.
Rhymes with Bilbo?
