@Sun_Ultra10 Honestly you are kinda in prime time for buying a 3D printer you haven't missed the train at all.

As someone who had multiple 3D printers throughout history my Bamu X1 Carbon took sooooo much fight and waiting out of the hobby for me that I find myself printing much more.

My old printers, I had a makerbot and then a MK3S great printers but they were always an uphill battle I had to watch carefully and hope they completed the job.

Contrast that to X1C I started a print job the morning of a road trip, never even watched it complete the first layer and a part fell over and failed. I isolated that part using the app on my phone and let it finish the rest. After that I had a family member that knew nothing about the printer clean off the plate, threw it back in and restarted the failed part.

@TechConnectify I definitely liked this video unfortunately the climate I live in a heat pump would likely struggle through the majority of our winters at -40.C to -50.C. I'm glad to see these heat pumps becoming more efficient in very cold weather.

Our primary heat source is heated floors with a boiler. And supplemental forced air heat. Both systems are oversized and capable of operating in place of another.

We've actually taken steps to operate both systems in the event of a power outage as an extended outage could be life threatening.

My first choice would be the boiler as its analog thermostats and pump controller all consuming 300 watts to operate the entire system. I've got several battery backups and a tri-fuel generator just incase.
