used to love building printers. hated printing parts for printers. It's all ABS/ASA and those are hard to print, what with the warping and bed/layer adhesion and toxic fumes. I print on a Railcore, which is an absolute beast of a printer and probably more sturdy than your average Voron, but it really wasn't designed to be fully sealed so anything other than PLA has been a struggle for me.
