Honestly, I do it every time I switch filaments.

It doesn’t cost much time and you get a nice clean nozzle for a perfect print.

A decent printer like from Anycubic or Creality is about 200€.

But there are also online services that can print for you.

Yes, they had really great printers, but they enshittified so much since then.

They try to cover it by tons of marketing and sponsorships, but the community doesn’t forget.

Why make the distinction?

Can they not be considered video game heroes for kids just because they have existed for a while?

And lose access to healthcare, get tsunami’d by guns, be forced to capitalize on everything for the shareholders, and become part of the current laughing stock of the world?

I doubt any Canadian would want that.
