Maybe something you learned the hard way, or something you found out right before making a huge mistake.

E.g., for audiophiles: don't buy subwoofers from speaker companies, and don't buy speakers from subwoofer companies.

Great point! It also depends on how much time you have for it. I built a 3D printer when I was younger because I had hours most days to work on it.

Now I would probably only have a few hours a week to tinker, so if I spent most of that time just working on the printer and couldn't get stuff actually printed and printed well, that would feel like wasted time personally!

Would be kinda cool to buy a functioning printer and print parts for a diy printer. Then it'll have children haha!
