How frequently would I need to replace a nozzle?

Truly the Kodak of this generation

That’s a great perspective, thank you. Come to think of it, I used the Dremel tools I had to sand/shape the sound guides I 3d printed from my library, so in a way I too am making use of stuff I learned/bought before. To be frank. I’m proud of my ability to learn and get interested in new stuff too, but I’m disappointed in how I abandon things just as quickly. I will keep your perspective in mind in future. Maybe it will help me be more forgiving of myself and remind me I still retain what I learned and to make use of it. Thank you!

That’s kind of exactly me. I have a bunch of discarded hobbies. I have hundreds of dollars worth of esp32 circuit stuff, rotary woodworking stuff, musical instruments, sewing machines, power tools, painting supplies, fitness equipments, etc. collecting dust because I get super into something for a while and then don’t touch them anymore. At this point, I don’t even know if I should actually get a 3d printer.

I’m seeing FLASHFORGE 3D Printer Adventurer 5M new for $200 after coupons. Would you recommend the A1 mini or the 5M?

Thanks for the advice. I’ll look into that one.

Thank you that’s very useful

Thanks for the advice. I hadn’t considered that refurbished printers are technically used ones with inspection. Is it that important to avoid used printers for a first printer? I had no idea.

Thanks for the advice. I do know that I am sort of the kind who picks the flavor of the month to get obsessed over, then throw it away for the next shiny thing, so I am a bit of both of your usecases.
