Yeah it's one of those things that seems fun but also seems like it could become a money pit. Very fiddly once you go off the beaten path, a support community seems like a basic requirement still.

But once you have the skills to recognize what tweaks you need to make to the slicer or account for whatever overhang or whatever obscure thing will make your particular print work it seems neat.

I'm a bit more interested in the resin printers at this point, but they have their own set of things that make prints fail.

I'll stick to watching YouTube videos about it for now.

But that's a good price for that printer, the entry point is so low now.
