That is exactly why I bought an A1 Mini when it came out after tinkering with an Ender 3 clone for years.

My only concern now, that I didn't think about when I bought it, is what happens when they stop supporting it?

Eh they have made 3d printing a hobby where tinkering with the 3d printer is the hobby. I'll wait till they do the bad thing everyone says they well do.

Kind of the same for me. My hobby became a business and I need to ensure that it will survive whatever enshitification they do.

Currently have 1 printer X1 carbon, and I will get a competing product next year.
