You should, be warned it's like going into a rabbit hole, it has A LOT of depth. Like, yeah you can download cute models and gift people or start a shop, but it can be more than that like engineering devices that blend with electronics, or even to improve people's lives.
Check out this picture of a carpal tunnel syndrom aid printed by someone I know when they were going through a painful moment, when a doctor saw it they decided to also get a 3D printer so they could do it for patients.
I just love the idea you can do so many great things with it, how can we not be excited and leveraging it as much as possible.
It's not that I don't want to get the Bambu, I'm just pacing myself, after all spending money is a small part in any endeavor and you can always spend lots of money, often without a clear need, so pacing spending with learning is my way of practicing low-time preference, if that makes any sense.
Do you have any favorite websites/forums for 3d printing discussions?
Thingiverse, Printables, and MakerWorld :)
Reddit has great communities too!
I'm thinking about getting a 3d printer as well, I have lots of projects in mind.
I also have the problem of getting tools, and then not using them. So here's what I figure - I'll use the makerspace nearby (with good 3d printers) 3 times. If I've done that, and am still interested, I'll get a decent 3d printer.
What causes you to not want to get the Bambu printer? I believe that's one that the makerspace nearby has. Is it too expensive? I haven't looked at costs yet.
