Well, I made a commitment today. After a couple of years on an Ender 3 Pro which is totally a ship of Theseus now, I’m building a #Voron 2.4 r2. Wish me luck! It was either that or a Switch and some games.

This is the next (big) step into getting a little more serious about project work with my kids. I hope it pays off for us 😅

You made the right choice. I have a Switch, and it's great for a handheld - or was in 2017. There are a lot more gaming handheld options now. I'm very satisfied with my Steam Deck.

The level of satisfaction you'll get from your Voron can't be touched by the Switch though.

    I'm 100% retro and linux gaming, but I don't need to force my kids down the road I'm on. I just share what I love and hope they choose it for themselves so we have common interests. So far, surprisingly, they both love NES / SNES and that's thanks to Nintendo developing the same franchises for decades, for better or worse.

    I don't really game on the go other than mindless android games. If I did, steam deck makes way more sense. For the kids I keep thinking Switch mainly because they already love the Wii, and all their friends have Switches, so it's a social vocabulary thing.

    Surely you're right about the satisfaction part. I need to make sure the kids are part of it, maybe choosing models and building, painting, etc with me. They are pretty young but once they get a little better spatial awareness and reading skills, python and freecad are not out of the question! They play minecraft already, so we're off to a good start I think.
