I must admit I have a ender 3 v2 with zero upgrades. I just prints without a lot of tweaking.

I do however look what I can upgrade, but as it's working fine never did it.

I know two of mine were. 3d printers and quadcopters were both cutting edge, barely developed tech when I started out. Now they are full-on industries

Same here. FPV and 3D printing. Then there’s Ergo Mechanical Keyboards. And now I’m just straight up making my own projects with microcontrollers.

Seems we like the same stuff. I've been using a Kenesis Advantage 2 since 2015. I've considered making my own, but the Kenesis is pretty great. The only drawback is that the layout isn't good for FPS games.

I built a couple of 98mph 5" FPV quadcopters for about $150 around 4 years ago. I recently wanted to add a 3" to my collection and was absolutely shocked at the prices. What the heck happened there? It would cost me $500+ to build the same quadcopter that I built for $150.

DarwinFPV BabyApe is $80 and flies better than anything you’ve built 4 years ago due to improvements in Betaflight. Sure, if you want O3 you need to pay more.

Can I just update BetaFlight on my current FCs?

What is 03?
