In my experience my 4th consumed the internals of 1-3

Some old dude put a better than mine computer for sale at a silly price, when I got there he had a second older system he didn't want. Now I have to decide what case to put the best parts in, build out my current spare for a friend, and start getting used to Linux on the old one. And my second computer runs the TV in my bedroom.

I sealed them in some vacuum clothes bags with a silica gel pack but i wouldn't count on that to keep them good for the last 5 years XD i also got a food dehydrator last year so i could bring them back i think.

I bought mine in 2016 and it took me weeks to get it dialed in where I could actually make shit with it. My brother bought one like 3 years ago and had it up and running that night. He paid like half as much as I did for mine as well. Crazy how much things have improved. Although it does seem like some vendors are trying to get people locked into proprietary bullshit so you have to watch for that.

There will be a successor, there always is. And new high-resolution monochrome resin printers are more and more affordable all the time... Getting into resin printing is almost as tempting as my spouse's "no" is firm.
