I started off on an Ender 3 V2 a few years back. The AnkerMake M5C and Bambu A1 Mini are both down to $199 and can’t believe how much faster / more reliable they are for the price.

I’m actually blown away by how good of a 3D Printer you can get for ~$200 now. Huge improvement from just a few years ago.

That’s a good example! I have a RG35XX, and definitely fun to see how far gaming tech has come.

I was thinking of something that would be considered futuristic to an average person today. So, maybe something uncommon, with impressive capabilities, but still affordable?

Not sure if many items fit that criteria, but was curious if any!

Ventoy is awesome, love being able to load a ton of different boot images on a single USB drive! The only issue I’ve run into is the occasional image that won’t boot. Not sure if this is expected, or you need to sometimes tweak settings to get it working?
