Anyone else in this boat? It was said by a Bamboo user when I was chatting about my modded Maker Select and the Voron I’m about to build.
I do use the printer a lot for designing and making projects like the sensors I just launched or the Twystlock for Steam Deck, etc.
But I like tinkering/making more. For example I used to mod video game consoles more than I played them, so the comment made sense to me.
Machines are a means to an end. Not the end in and of itself. It just depends on what YOUR ends turn out to be.
There is nothing wrong with having your printer be the hobby. It’'s a valid part of of the printing hobby and the current state of 3D printing wouldn’t be it is right now. And Bambu has done nothing new that hobbyists weren’t already doing as a hobby to modify their machines. So I wouldn’t worry much about what a Bambu owner thinks.
