Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

Lol same here.

Bought a cheap printer and it worked, but I couldn't fix it.

Then I got another cheap printer that was bigger, but it was a fire hazard

Then I got a not as cheap printer, then it broke in the stupidest way possible

So I got a the Popular Cheap Printer, and it was good enough

But I needed a Prusa since I was now selling my parts, and it was good

Then I got a bigger prusa since the popular printer turned into a sunk cost fallacy.

What should've been a one time cost of $350 turned into multiple $350-500 printers until I started a business with it and spent $1000 to stop messing with it

    Wow, that's pretty cool that you made a business out of it.
    What kind of parts do you make?
