That time lapse is a very cool, if rather pointless feature - the best kind of feature!

Where do you keep your printer(s)? I understand maintaining temp/humidity is pretty important, which rules put most of my available hiding places. ???

They all sit in my office spare box room at home.

If not using for a few days, remove filament and put in a sealed bag with dessi packs.  House temps/humidity are perfect. Try to stop drafts when printing, especially harder stuff like ABS - a home made big box could be your friend, but I've never needed one.

Sheds, garages and outbuildings probably aren't ideal

Bought a new one, stuck with another Creality this time around, the K2 Plus.

I probably should have updated this thread, being as I've had an ender3 v2 neo since Feb 2024  ;D

Given it a fair thrashing, replaced a couple of nozzles, bowden tube and very recently an extruder gear. Considering the ender 3 gets a little of stick for its reliability I don't think it's been at all bad. Id estimate I've gone through well over 20kg of pla.

Is the K2 one of those multi filament jobs? What you got planned for it?
