Yes, I agree. I now have a set of tips, tubes, and blocks. All assembled and ready to do damage. I also have a 5 pack of thermistors and a spare heater (it was part of a complete hot-end replacement set). I now have a spare board (maybe two if they don't ask me to return the one under warranty - which I can easily fix at work). I also have a spare power supply and blower fan.
My next big ticket will be a spare printer. One to mod as I assemble it. Thinking E3D extruder (dual???), bowden configuration, etc. That will probably happen in July. Then it is time to plan building my own custom large printer. I have a lot of 1in x1in x various lengths (36in max) of extruded aluminum (same style as the aluminum frame Hictops) and a large tote of hardware to go with them. Imagine a print area of 30in^3 (762mm^3)!
I plan on buying quality components for that one, and customizing what I need.
