I agree — but I was expecting actual runes to be shown, not just a transcription into Latin characters. Like on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jelling_stones (ᚼᛅᚱᛅᛚᛏᚱ᛬ᚴᚢᚾᚢᚴᛦ᛬ᛒᛅᚦ᛬ᚴᛅᚢᚱᚢᛅ etc).

Both friends with Bambu printers bought them because they were cheaper than Prusa, and they wanted "a tool, not a hobby" (which I think is marketing invented to disparage an open source, repairable printer). Three years later, the
