I'm a mod in a telegram group (not piracy oriented). Pretty much every other day comes in a clueless idiot asking, ipsis literis, "what's the best printer?"

Ask said idiot what they want to print and you're met with one of two: silence or "I wanna print some stuff". What stuff? "Oh just a couple of stuff first, you know" - They want a printer without having a fucking clue of anything and they're always surprised to know that resin printers are a thing.

To be fair, I didn't know what to print as well when I started. Now I always know.
