  • Don’t get an ender unless you want your hobby to be working on the printer. That’s fine, but it’s not the same as having something ready to go when you unbox it.

    Prusa printers are quality and open source; very much worth supporting if you have the money. Your hobby will be printing things for other things if you get one.

    Bambu printers are cheap, but not open source. However, you will spend most of your time actually making stuff instead of fixing the printer.

    Cheap, reliable, open source/modifiable. Pick two.











  • That’s not how hard drives work, and doesn’t take into account that OP might want to download more than one thing at a time.

    Hard drives are fastest when they are moving large single files. SSDs are way better than hard drives at lots of small random reads/writes.Setting qbittorrent up so that all the random writes inherent to downloading a torrent go to a small ssd, and then moving that file over to the big hard drive with a single long writer operation is how you make both devices perform to their best.
