Dear @MaximLobovsky

I want to say - `Thank you for listening to your customers, or just me.` 🫠

This relates to that post and the answer to your question:

>
> @MaximLobovsky It’s a tough question to answer. Hobby users cannot pay $4,000+ for something they don’t make money from. Professional users also want lower costs. I think an acceptable price is something like what used Form 3 is going for now, from around $600 to $1,500. A bundle is achievable around $1,500 to $2,000. My personal experience. I bought my Form 3B for $800. It came with 3 resin tanks, 2 build plates, and several resins. The price decided that I bought a used one. Current Form …

Do you ever give gifts to your clients or to people who aren’t super-famous YouTubers?  
Just asking … 😇

Yes, thank you @MaximLobovsky. I can’t tell you how _giddy_ I am to be back in the Formlabs universe. I was barely able to justify a $4,500 printer, but would do it because Formlabs was worth it, even knowing that there are less expensive printers out there. I was glad to see the price reductions, and almost bought a Form 4…my Form 2 was so “Mac-like.” But I couldn’t afford or justify the OMM license.

The Studio 1 brings me back. And I’m happy to see that there are other former Form 2 users who are coming back. I…am…happy. 😊
