    Should I consider myself an "Inventor" or a "Maker"?

    I have been making smart devices with ESP32 boards, sensors, relays, LCD screens, etc. Recently I made my own smart thermostat for a natural gas heater in my detached garage. I design and 3D print my own cases and enclosures for these devices. I'm learning how to use KiCAD to make my own schematics and eventually make my own PCBs. I use SolidWorks and Inventor to make my designs. I code everything myself. I also have been dabbling with resin casting by making 3D printed molds and things out of silicone and urethane. I haven't sold any of these things or designs to anyone yet so I don't think I can consider myself an Inventor. Am I a "Maker"? Most of these things I've made are for my own enjoyment, or to make my life easier. A lot of times I just experiment to learn a new skill.
