EDIT NOTICE: I accidentally wrote "A1 Mini" in the meme instead of just "A1" out of habit. There's no proof for the Mini to also be affected yet. My bad, sorry. It's the A1 that might burn your house down.

I’m in the corner with my Ender 3 that barely works and is a pain in the ass but hasn’t had a recent controversy because it’s old.
I love/hate my fucking Ender 3. I love it cause I got it for free and it's my first printer. But boy have I just wanted to take a hammer to it at times. Though, I can use any software I want, no internet connection, and it's been forcing me to actually understand how that dang printer works. And fuck, when I'm ready to go down that rabbit hole, I can mod it out. I can't beat that flexibility.
Get that bitch a direct drive upgrade and print a dual blower mount for it and it’ll never let you down again
You might want to try those total conversion projects. There are a few that take parts from one or two Ender 3 and turn the machine into a modern CoreXY machine.
and this is why we stan open, easy to modify hardware.

Irbis has a 2 ender3 to1 corexy for little money con ersions. Guy is a genius
I'm in the other corner with a P1S still on firmware 1.7 putting like 16 hours of print on it a day (mainly my wife printing decoration and trinkets). It's just th internet finding a new rage bait. The printers are fine, the company is dumb for generating controversy (maybe negligent for the fires). This too shall pass.
