I'm proof. My first printer is currently worth like $25. Maker Select V2. Still works great. I learned FreeCAD and enjoyed every minute.

As someone who replaced his Maker Select Plus with a Bambu Lab P1S a few months ago…if you do get a new printer, be prepared to be angry for a moment.

I spent so much time and effort improving that thing over the years, and the modern printer was so much better right out of the box. 😅

(Not that I don’t still have a fond place in my heart for my old bedslinger. A friend has it now, so it’s still chugging along.)

Haha yea I did, actually. A few months ago I built a Voron 0.2. It's soooo much better in every way. But the MS2 is still capable, especially with upgrsdes (just not with ABS). I decided against the Bamboo route because I loved the FOSS nature of the MS2, and building the Voron brought back those 'first time building a PC vibes'. It was a great experience.

I've got a Sovol Max on order, so the MK2 will probably also be donated to a friend this year.

Nice! I’ve considered a Voron, but I wasn’t sure I wanted to dedicate that much time to the printer as opposed to the printing. (I feel like I got my fill of excessive tinkering already 😅)

But the closed nature of Bambu does bother me, I’ll admit.

Yea, I was told I "have a 3D printer hobby, not a 3D printing hobby". 😆

I loved building the Voron, but did decide to go with a Sovol instead for the larger machine to both avoid the build and have a larger volume.

The 0.2 was great because it was cheap, didn't need to be my main printer at the time so I could be patient with it, and it is blazingly fast, especially heat up time since the bed is so small.
