    Interesting! I'm an electronics engineer, so I wonder - how do you repair these devices? Do you have testing equipment, and soldering iron? Do you have schematics for the devices you repair (circuits of the devices). Or am I way off and you're not even messing with the electronics?

    About what filament, I don't live in the US so Ebay and Amazon are good options, but I prefer to use them as less as possible, especially Amazon, because shipping.
    I just learned that it might be cheaper for me to ship it to the US and from there to my country, because the shipping company in my country would demand ridiculous charges from me in order to release the printer from customs. Therefore, it's a good idea to order other items that I might need in the future, so that everything would be packaged together and reduce cost for me, hence my question.

    Field work ?

    Have you worked in the field as an electronics engineer ?

    It doesn?t take a vast array of tools to work on these items. It?s nice to have many small tools but not necessary.

    Google/YouTube and iFixit are very helpful .

    I?ve been repair consumer electronics since I was a kid ( broke/torn many others).

    Knock on wood * I haven?t ran across anything I haven?t been able to repair. I don?t have a repair man on anything really. Just replaced the capacitor on my HVAC, saved me a 289 dollar service call.

    I know it?s off subject but don?t ever call a repair man unless time is against your side/emergency that can?t wait or if it?s something way beyond your confidence level. Saves money and IT is FUN plus when you fix it (we the rest around didn?t think you could) you get to strut around the house like you?re a genius. It inflates your ?manhood? lol .
