3D printing has a bifurcation in the hobby; some people enjoy it for the objects they can make, some people enjoy it for the printers themselves. I pass no judgement either way, just an observation. I saw the same thing in the photography world; some were gearheads, some couldn't care less, and were focused on the image. As for me personally, I spent many entertaining, delightful, maddening and frustrating years playing with a frankendelta of bodged parts, broken firmware and hacked wiring. Learned a ton, don't regret any of it. But the moment I got an X1C, the Rostock has been relegated to Spiral Vase mode only. And I can't help but note my actual printing volume has increased dramatically when the process became less of a babysit.
