I printed over 5km of filament through the homebuilt machine. Last year I built a Voron 2.4r2. Just slowly upgrading, refining processes, and using printers as a force multiplier for other hobbies.
I really enjoyed building it! I printed the components on my aging workhorse. Went with a Phaetus Rapido hotend, and I installed a CANBus board on the toolhead to reduce mechanical complexity a bit. Also got the Hall effect endstop switches for the XY gantry, and a Euclid for the bed probe. Just about all of the upgrades are worth it in my mind.
