In land of consumer grade (read cheap) 3d printers, there's quite a lot of information and while it's fairly good and accurate, being objective about the information given will lead many down the road of bad choices based on their previous (possibly good) choices.
To give some context a lot of this technology is a potpourri of tech from all over the place. It comes from 3d printer companies, open source developers, and component hardware companies from both the west and the east. Each one adding new features all the time. So when you get your 3d printer, and assuming you want to get the most out of it, you'll have to pick and and choose which features from which components you will leverage. This task becomes monumentally huge when you consider how the various bits of hardware and software play together (and more importantly when they don't play together).
Most content I find on Youtube and the web tends to be objective on this matter. They will go through all the features of whatever component they are reviewing, but that doesn't really help the common 3d printer user that has a particular machine, setup a particular way, used in their particular workflow.
I will try to document my highly opinionated 3d printer journey and explain the reasons for the choices I made so that others can gain a better context of how they should setup and use their printers.
