My biggest complaint is that the filament RFID spec is closed.

BBL parts are not very expensive and their support is stellar. Of course if they go bankrupt we'll be high and dry.

Prior to my two A1s I spent more time, and more money in parts, mucking about with the printers, modifying and calibrating, tweaking Klipper than getting anything done.

One of the biggest selling points for me upgrading to an X1C was for similar reasons... I wanted more time to work _with_ the machine, not work _on_ the machine (if that makes sense).

I've seen this put as '3d printing hobby' vs '3d printer hobby'.
