sometimes all you need is dollar store junk, but specifically modeled to your needs... which effectively makes it not dollar store junk. also, you don't actually need to go to a dollar store, waste half an hour looking for the right thing in their pile of crap, and possibly interact with their less than mentally stable customers.
in my experience even basic pla or petg prints are way stronger than cheap chinesium crap. because you actually use your brain when you model them, unlike chinese crap designers.
got myself a printer several moths ago and that thing is never idle more than a couple days. either I need some custom crap around the house, or my wife needs some decorative thingy, or my daughter wants a toy(and would you look at that, there's a new pink pla spool to try out).
