Depending on how easy you find it, it will take at least 10 hours to build. But that is part of the fun.
Software and repairability are there. Spares are cheap and klipper is open source. It can work offline but it works better paired with tailscale. You can upload sliced models OTA.
Slicing models will be the easiest part. I'd recommend the basic orcaSlicer set up for the printer of choice and go from there.
Good luck and have fun. 3D printing has become the most addictive hobby I have ever taken up. Be careful with your time!
Why?
Because it's already killing people every day. And is slowly but surely making our environment entirely unstable. But as a typical consumer we don't have much power to stop it.
Do you need unlimited money? Not necessarily, but there are so many different possibilities when it comes to dealing with it. Carbon capture, green energy, (fusion?!), energy storage, planting more millions of trees, phasing out fossil fuels, holding companies accountable for their use of fossil fuels, the list goes on.
Looking at any one of these would be an expensive endeavour. Hopefully we can find small but very impactful methods in dealing with our climate troubles. Because as someone who turns 30 this year, it isn't looking promising for the next 30 years.
Overall great app.
But for sure the lack of clear lines for where the server ends and the client begins has always been a pain of these kinds of framework offerings.
This is also quite scary.

The flat back of most plugs increased the risk of standing on this type of plug. It's similar to the experience of standing on Lego, except it will dig much deeper into your foot, and falling over is better than putting all of your weight on it.
It can be a common occurrence, because using an extension cord or an appliance you don't always need to have plugged in can just be laying around. And kids aren't known for being tidy. If you managed to get past being a clumsy kid and had the self awareness to avoid it, props to you.
The power of being able to send this file via msn to a friend, convince them to open it, and then get a full message in capitals of "YOU HACKED ME! MY COMPUTER IS BROKEN!" Before watching them go offline (the script shut down their computer after 30 seconds) was a real heart racer. I am sure it contributed to my interest in computers in the following years.
This was a lot of fun to read and really tells the story well. I am thoroughly amused. Thanks for sharing this!
I can't help but think my solution to this would be, to start hand washing the dishes, out of pure spite.
Indeed but the next sentence in the same title is
