I'm the tech-fiddling type and I bought one, my housemate is the tech-fiddling type and she bought one, our friend is the tech-fiddling type and she bought one. We all bought them because we wanted to spend our tech-fiddling time on the projects themselves and not on the printer.

Great, then you can band together and make the klipper version and use it...easy peasy

Your own little bubble doesn't say much about the general buyers of BL printers.

I think it says more about the echo chamber in this thread that no one can conceptualise why anyone (that's a tinkerer) would want to limit tinkering on one thing, so they can enjoy tinkering on another.

Edit: Like, that was the case for me, but now they shit the bed so I've got to tinker with it to keep the features I prefer.
