Do what you want to produce to avoid having traceable serial numbers?

In short, you get what you pay for. Cheaper 3D printers are really hobby printers that teach you the principles of 3D printers, but they don’t really produce anything that will stand up to any abuse under normal use. They are fun to use, but you’ll have to pay for more if you want make stuff that will last.

Not necessarily, I'm way beyond caring about serial numbers.

I'm 77 with a willing spirit and very weak flesh.

I can still use a wood lathe for crafts that sell, but it gets harder.

A 3D printer seems to be a product that I can play with . . . toys for birthday kids or others (wink) and something saleable
