I have fallen down the worm hole of 3d printing since Christmas, and was wondering if anyone else on here is playing with them. If so, how you use them when it comes to RV's. I can see them being ...

mine broke today, having withdrawal issues since parts won't be here till monday.
Mine is 6 years old without issue other than early on the X axis belt pulley slipping on the stepper shaft, causing X shift. The tiny set screws kept backing out. A dab of VC3 took care of that but I doubt I'll ever get them back out.
extruder tensioning arm, known issue on mine, also have replaced fans a couple times (going to ball bearing) and a z limit switch issue.
is what it is i guess. printer has about 500 hours on it.
the real amazement is not the printer, but once you can design, the world it opens up, is crazy.
I also design for money and have one product on amazon now, and soon to add more.
I ordered the BMG clone from diamondlabs in antisapation of that going on mine. so far I have put the dual Z screw kit in, added a bl touch, doing the extruder and when I can find a raspberry pi in stock I am going to add octiprint and change to liniear rails. I am also starting to source parts to build a voron 2.4 and add a second printer.

Mine is not modified much, spring, capricon, a modified extruder guide for TPU, and bl touch, and ubl with jyers.
It prints amazing. I have 0 reason to change anything at this point.
IDK if I want to go full custom like a voron, I tried octoprint, its nice, but surprisingly i print predominantly from the SD card.
if your going with a pi, look at klipper.
