    My 25th printer should be arriving in a week or so, there’s still hope for you, go on without me!

      think that’s the problem. it’s like carrying in the heavy bags of salt or stuff. gotta have two. to stay balanced.

      you know. one printer with the .1mm nozzle (and the gear train on the extruder to make that work… bleh) and another printer with the 1mm nozzle and 3mm filament, and another with the direct drive for the TPU and stuff… and maybe a paste extrusion… and maybe… uh…

      …okay maybe I have a problem…

      Exactly. You have a problem once they start multiplying.
      If you start printing 3D printer, that is a terminal stage and no help for you anymore.

        Can we do that? I heard they had started making metallic 3d printers, but we aren’t at that stage are we?

        Idk, I do know I want one though

          Look up “the 100”

          It’s (mostly) 3D printed and one of the fastest printers out there. I’m going to build one this winter I think

        My second printer arrived a month ago, and im using that to convert my first printer into a voron 0.2. so that only still counts as 2 right?

    My friend, you have nothing to worry about. Try 6 printers and over 150 spools…

    What kind of magical land do you live in where you can have your can store your filament in the open without it getting soaked?

      It’s about 38%RH in the house, I just throw the spool in the dryer for a bit and bowden goes straight from dryer to filament sensor in the enclosure

    The only thing that I can see is out of hand is the open air filament storage! (I live in the tropics so vacbags and dessicant are a must!)

      Lol - yeah once I saw where it was all going I got the lack setup for my wife’s sanity. I’m surprised I’ve been able to keep it as “tidy” as it is… though I still end up having to clean out my corner every weekend.
      Definitely won’t be joining a filament of the month club, learned that lesson with cheese…so many meh cheeses
