Even if it’s not expensive, Is there a high quality item every serious enthusiast owns?

Or maybe it’s a highly prized holy grail item you’d give your right arm for.

Is there something you’ve had an eye on for a while and you’re just waiting for an excuse to treat yourself?

    I’m into 3D printing, so for me right now the piece of kit I’m drooling over is the X1 Carbon by Bambu Lab. It has a lot of fancy features but what I most want is the 16-color mixer. It would be great because it would significantly reduce the painting overhead. I’m hoping to have it before the end of the year, if there’s not something fancier out by then.

      There’s always something fancier out! Or new tech, just this morning I saw that AI adjustment tech, auto-adjusting flow, temp or z height.

      Still, it’s pretty incredible the stuff we can make in our own home, even with “older” 3D printers.

      If it has multiple spools does that mean one spool can be disolvable for ease of support removal

      I’m patiently waiting for the cash free for the P1P and AMS. More colours would be cool but just being able to use a couple of different filaments without manually changing them will be wild.
