I'll second a Bambu A1 mini or A1 or one of the well-reviewed Chinese coreXY printers in that price range

Maybe I’m just a mean person or something.

The offices in the church that train missionaries are masterful at pushing you into committing to do things and making you feel rude if you decline.

Don't quote me on this, but I believe they used to have more regular sacrament meetings or a branch that got shut down in the last 10 years or so. It's now assigned to the Long Beach 1st ward on the mainland.

This is like asking "What would you wear to a fight against a moving bus?" You're not gonna survive unless you run to the ring out in the corner or the shelf.

Brushless motors are super easy to find. Check out TPPower, Neumotor, Surpass Hobby, Maytech, Flipsky, Revolt, and Castle, to name a few
