Absolutely for 3D printing. It's both a creative and tech hobby. It allows you to create and make things using technical skills that really feels like sci-fi/magic.
I would say start with an FDM printer (filament, like and Ender 3-style printer). If you enjoy it, and you want to make more detailed, smaller models, go to resin. Resin requires a lot more time and investment in the post-processing phase, but you can make crazy accurate miniatures.
It's also something that satiates that constant need to try something else. There's always things to learn, both hardware and software.
