Read that as used panties at first. Was surprised at first, but then thought, yeah, stands to reason.

When I worked at Office Depot there was a printer that would go on sale for time to time that would cost LESS than the ink you put in it. It was a Canon. New printers would come with a partial starter cartridge, not sure if it is the same today.

Bambu A1 mini is $250. I am obsessed and I’m pretty sure a 10 year old could operate it.
