I bought mine in 2016 and it took me weeks to get it dialed in where I could actually make shit with it. My brother bought one like 3 years ago and had it up and running that night. He paid like half as much as I did for mine as well. Crazy how much things have improved. Although it does seem like some vendors are trying to get people locked into proprietary bullshit so you have to watch for that.

Ya, I think I will pick up a multi color enclosed printer eventually.

So don't use those unless they are still sealed. Otherwise you'll end up with dry spaghetti everywhere when you drop it

I sealed them in some vacuum clothes bags with a silica gel pack but i wouldn't count on that to keep them good for the last 5 years XD i also got a food dehydrator last year so i could bring them back i think.
