The longer I am in the #3dprinting hobby, I notice more and more that it is less about the actual printing and more about the empowerment of freedom. My printer is MINE. I own my mistakes and improve and change it as I see fit, not some marketer of a huge corporation. I think that is also why I cannot stand #BambuLab or later #prusa printers - because they are walking away from that kind of freedom in my opinion. They're very good-quality printers, but they're also primarily commercial products.

@DJGummikuh From the commercial (ready-to-use) providers Prusa is still one of the best though. The truely free choices are all DIY, even supposedly open products like Sovol do have their pain points if I remember correctly.

@DJGummikuh they are becoming different kind of products I am sticking to Voron project to stay in power of what I own, even by knowledge on how it does work. But people usually buy 3D printer for printing, not knowing how to do it. Is the reason I am sticking with a smartphone I can put a screwdriver in and unlock the bootloader, but friends of mine prefer to use an iPhone
