    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.
