Recently I started printing on Bambulab (previously on Průša Mini). If anyone is curious about how much difference is it

I've got one now with a V6 knockoff hot end, steel PEI print bed, and running klipper firmware. It was backup printer, and now it's the backup to the backup (purchased Comgrow $70 used Ender 3 pro).

I'd like to give this to a friend that's interested in printing, but I'd have to flash back to stock firmware. The buttons and display don't work with klipper, and I don't have a spare raspberry pi.

It's still relevant with the upgrades I made to it, except it's still has really noisy steppers, and the build volume is so small it's really limiting. I think the Prusa mini is still large enough to be practical. The monoprice is mostly relegated to toys.

I need some 18650 holders for a project which the mini can do great with, but I need a lot and printing them two or three at a time won't cut it.
