    I’ve had good luck with giving people a comparison to Jesus working.

    Let’s say Jesus worked as a carpenter from the day of his birth to today, making $50 an hour, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year (he’s a hard working dude!), that’s 17,739,264 hours of labor. Surely he must have billions of dollars working that hard for that much money over the last 2,024 years.

    Not even $887 million. Still far short of a single billion. I guarantee 99.9% of people don’t make $50/hr, and absolutely nobody works 24/7/365 for thousands of years, and if that alone doesn’t tell you that billionaires shouldn’t exist, nothing will.



  • Prices can vary wildly depending on how simple or advanced you go. A classic, tried-and-true Ender 3 can be found for $100 in some places, and something like a Bambu X1 Carbon can go for $1,400.

    If you’re just starting out and don’t want to invest most of your free time to tweaking and maintaining a bare ones printer, look into something like the Bambu P1P. Not top end, definitely not low end, and does a lot of the tedium for you so you can go right into enjoying 3D printing.
