I bought a box of sex! Unboxing the Commander X16 

"Practical" has nothing to do with it. ;)

Obviously! Though you could do a nice 8-bit render of the F15 HUD on a 320x200 screen maybe? ;-)

That depends entirely upon what kind of parts you need to print.

@@f15sim PLA or similar nothing outside the norm... but curious to what material is used for rigid precision parts when I see people making say linear rail parts etc.. It's my understanding that on leading machines it's just changing nozzles and software for different material to a certain extent at least .. but I'm new and just trying to gather info on which machines and companies some with experience like over others ... without being targeted by yt feeds in the Bernaysian malaise

@@hobonickel840If you're completely new to 3D printing and you're more interested in using a 3D printer as a tool and not a hobby unto itself, I would recommend either a Bambu Lab P1S or, if you have the budget for it, an X1C. Proprietary bits aside, they're the easiest printers to get successful prints out of with zero effort on the user's part.

I've heard lots about BBL and most of it is noise regarding their business model .. thanks for sharing!

Buy a machine. Don't screw around with DIY machines unless you've got an endless supply of patience. :)
