Where you're coming from actually makes a ton of sense. My intention with posting this was to get a starting point to see what would be wise to buy now that would actually apply to my personal life, with which I would actually be sensible about purchases for. I have hobbies that benefit greatly from tools like 3D printers and mechanical tools, as well as a sizeable interest in self-sufficiency (with the physical space to practice this!), so I figured mass opinions might point out something I'm missing.
I did some research into what Voron sells, and yeah, that's not a committment I can dip my toes into right now even if I have the means (couple 123 blocks and don't mind getting other things) nor is it something I'd ever recommend to someone dissimilar. I really shouldn't assume people will behave the same as I, 'specially on the internet. Sorry if anyone saw this and thought I was encouraging panic buying! I'm just future conscious and like to be prepared when it comes to what I find pleasure in doing.
