No probelm: Generally, a German needs about eight years in Switzerland at work to understand small differences in saings. By the time the eight years are up, you go after work home and think that everyone is always super friendly to you 
But as I see, you are at least fimilar with swiss german - or you are swiss
Not Sponsered (but would by cool) - this kann mean a lot. What he means by that, I would have to ask him a little more in depth.
That can mean anything from being open to cooperation to a ripping low blow so even much more than āscheisstrottelāā¦ only he knows - I understand it as following: Itās may an invitation to think about the actual sitation of sponsoring at all. But it is very difficult to interpret. What he was thinking by it, only he knows.
By the way: The toys are normal. For 3D printers a Bambulab is enough for me. For everything else, there are people like him who you can pay - but i need to know were are there limits, thats my job
Thatās a great write-up and Iām definitely someone in their target market. I only entered the 3D printing hobby last November but for the reasons you describe: I wanted a tool to play with, I didnāt want the printer itself to be the hobby/project. This combined with MakerWorld makes it just so damn easy to enter the hobby.
And Bambu has me in their walled garden pretty firmly since I only use their filaments (easy to just buy from a single store), and I have bought a bunch of their Maker Supply things (including some of your projects haha). I also backed their CyberBricks project so Iām all in on Bambu

Im probably in that old school category, ive been in 3d prinring since 2016 (Monoprice Maker Select v2ā¦aka Duplicator i3) and I loved the tinkering at first. Iām in to building cars and live in the NE USA so in winter i went from tinkering cars to 3d printers, but as I get older I dont have time and dont want to spend the time fixing things (I was mostly a Creality user) so when Bambu came in the picture, after my first machine, i sold all my crealitys and replaced em with Bambuās lol.
I was thinking about this whole pancake printer thing.
We should just replace inkject printers with pancake printers, and print edible documents. We would save a ton on printing cost and probably solve world hunger too.
I mean, a gallon of HP ink will cost ya about 20k. A gallon of pancake mix will cost you like 8-16 bucks, maybe cheaper if you get it in enough bulk.
Not to mention that the HP ink isnāt even edible. Money down the drain!

I would LOOOVVVEEE if they could just figure out how to make an ink printer I can use as a tool when i need to and not have to worry about ink drying in the heads and having to purge and waste it and all the time spent to get it back to printing properly again lol. I used to do a little sublimation in my projects with a regular converted inkjet printer, but its a real pain in the ass if you dont print anything for a week or two and one of your colors starts āmisfiringā
Iām still bitter after this happened to my large format printer. I love photography, and printed all my own photos for the wall. It got dried up/clogged though and I worked for awhile trying to make it work again before eventually just having to toss it.

Yeah thats the biggest reason I never got a DTG machine (for making tshirts). Iām a graphic designer by trade and Iāve always wanted to add one to my arsenal, but if you arent a tshirt business and constantly turning out shirts, its not worth it so I settled on heat transfer vinyl and sublimation though their limitations can be constraining. Now iām focused more on the 3d printing and such, so Iām not doing much sublimation and I just get tired of constantly purging and wasting ink. Not to mention some of the Espon printers have a purge tank that has a fill limit and you have to jump through third party hoops (and a small fee) to reset the tank so you can print again. Epson is the another king of planned obsolescence and trying to handcuff you to their stuff. I use third party cartridges with a chip resetter to get by that, but going forward if I replace it i would use one of their ecotanks that eliminates the cartridges, but still no getting around wrestling with drying up heads
Are they not the same lot behind the colossal disappointment that is the AnkerMake?
They had to rebrand over that 
eufymake = ankermake
