So if I don't have an internet connection, I can't even boot my computer?

Be prepared. I love Enderal but it is unforgiving. Not to say it's bad, but it's following a different design ethos than Bethesda's Elder Scrolls.

Also prepare for an emotional roller coaster

FM08, different mountains. Glad to see there's some hams on here though!

I'm into ham radio, tabletop gaming, 3d printing, and tech

I live in a rural mountain area, so I also get tons of outdoor time on the mountains and in the rivers.

What kind of outdoor adventures do you like?

Ahhh, just the price of doing business right?

This is so true. My first FDM printer after working with SLA was an Ender3v2. I'm intimatly familiar with the inner working now after installing probes, changing out the motherboard, installing a new hot end, compiling custom firmware etc. Looking back I would've just bought one that worked out the gate instead of struggling for so long.

Ender3 is fine, but I probably ended up spending more on upgrades than I did on the printer (incl. a new motherboard when the microSD slot stopped reading, a new hot end, dual z axis upgrade and a few others). I'd save yourself the time and headaches that a lower end printer can bring a go for something a little better.

As for SLA, I quite like it. I work with water washable resins, and as long as you wear gloves and contain the washing waste, it's great. Yes it's more hassle than FDM, but the detail is unparalleled. Just be careful, resin is very brittle and it's easy to break prints.
