not just prices rising - components are starting to become rarer.

There is a current global semi-conductor shortage that is likely to last for at least a couple years.

On top of that you've had an unprecented global demand for all things electronic, as people in lockdown keep buying things they don't really want or need.
3d printers being one of these.

Now the real problem is that in times of shortage, many manufacturers have a tendency to take faulty goods, re-package them and send them back out into the world. And they keep repeating this until the item is not sent back and they get to keep the money.
Given that many machines would need to be sent back to china - it's a good strategy for the companies.
But a lousy one for the buyer.

So not only are 3d printers going to be getting increasingly expensive - they are also going to be getting increasingly unreliable.
Oh joy.
