I use a Prusa MK3 (not MK3S/+) that I got in 2018. Later this year I hope to get an MK4 to join it, and maybe a Voron 2.4 for big prints. My first printer was a SeeMeCNC Rostock MAX from 2013. Its controller board died for the second time just before I got the MK3, and I never fixed it.

Merci Argonaute! 😝
I use my printer as part of larger projects. Furniture gets new legs. Kitchen gets new spice rack. Appliances get small repairs or mods. TV gets soundbar attached. Desk gets hook for headphones. That kind of stuff. It's all one-of-a-kind and of no use to anybody else, but extremely satisfying to model, print, and use.
(I had a bunch of photos on Twitter. Can't link now, might copy to the Fediverse later.)
I need to make one of these for my Scarlett 2i2. I like your design.
We usually start big purchases like that by reading The Wirecutter. We don't always buy what they recommend, but they'll suggest some criteria that we may or may not feel are important and review a number of products. When the Internet is a swamp of reviews-for-pay and SEO non-reviews, Wirecutter has the advantage that they actually evaluate products.
As for vacuums, we bought a Dyson V15 a few months ago. It's big, which makes it inconvenient both to operate and to store, but it sucks mightily (in a good way). We haven't used the plug-in canister vacuum at all for a couple of years now.
Our older Dyson, a V6, has new batteries and has recently been cleaned, and is relegated to bedroom cleaning. It doesn't suck nearly as well.
I guess I started using Firefox when it was called NCSA Mosaic. A friend showed it to me at Apple in 1993, but I didn't get what the web was good for then. (To be sure, there wasn't much there yet.) By 1994 I was working at SGI, and marketing was exploring whether there was a product there for us, so I installed it, started using it, followed NCSA's daily roundup of new web sites for a while. It was mind boggling -- hundreds of sites, and three or four new ones every day! (Yes, those are global totals.)
By late 1994, Mosaic Communications (later renamed to Netscape, then Mozilla) was poaching employees from SGI, including quite a few people I knew.
By 1995, my girlfriend (now wife) was shocked to see a URL on the side of a bus. That was our proof that the web had gone mainstream.
Internet Explorer and Chrome didn't exist yet, of course.
It's funny how many people have redesigned Gridfinity. This looks like a solid improvement in a few areas. If you make it, let us know how it goes.
The 4040 adapters ought to have magnets, though, IMO.
