"Maker" since October 2022, just as a hobby. I started with an Artillery Hornet.

I also managed to compile Marlin with my own settings and put a BLTouch on the Hornet, which improved it somewhat, but it wasn't what I expected. Since I switched to Bambulab in April 2024, I've almost 100% forgotten all the headaches the other machine gave me
