And it's been a year since this video! So that makes 2 years on the gaskets. I wonder how they're doing.

I think this can be applied to 70% of 3D printing. But sometimes it's just fun to make the machine go brrrrrrr.

Na, functional prints are great! You just have to be wary of "now that I have a big hammer, every screw looks like a nail".

I do a lot of prototyping and one-offs with my printer that I just wouldn't make without it.

Yeah I hit this wall with tool organizers. I can either spend 60 hours and $50 in filament printing them out or I could just go to harbor freight and buy some that are better quality for $20

Yes. The other 30% of 3D printing is great. I agree.
