CTO at Markforged here. If you can't work it out with your employer hit us up. We're hiring remote software engineers. We'll ship you a printer so you can dev from home. Good luck! Like a lot of other commenters have posted - you have options.
I have a Mark2 at work. It's really amazing, the software for it is great, and I plan to fly some parts made with it in a lunar mission!
The carbon fibre demo keychain part always blows people away when I invite them to try and break it. For those that don't know, markforged makes a 3d printer that can embed a continuous carbon fibre strand into each print layer, making for very stiff and strong parts.
Thanks.
