As others have said, the printer you should get depends on what you want to do with it. If you want to spend the time and money to mod the ever loving shit out of a printer like I have, an ender 3 is great. If you want to just set it up and start printing, something from either prusa or bambulab will be the way to go, but a word of warning about bambu, they seem to be laying the groundwork to close off their ecosystem as much as possible à la apple, so I won’t be surprised if one day it gets to the point you can’t even use non bambu branded filament on their printers without hacking them.

If you do go with an ender though, I will say before you even get into using it, swap out the hot end with an all metal one. The stock one that butts the ptfe tube to the nozzle was an absolute soul sucking nightmare for me!

I played it on saturday for the first time since 2016

I was diagnosed at 8 and I was put on dexadrin, ritalin, concerta, and a homeopathic remedy. I built a resistance to 3 within months of starting them, and had to prove to my mom that homeopathy is bs by tossing my dose of the remedy without telling her for months and then asking her if she was still seeing a difference in my behavior, then had to explain how the placebo effect worked. I didn’t really know how to devwlop coping mechanismd until I was an adult, so my ADHD made my childhood more difficult than it needed to be.

No doctors ever told me, so when I eventually found out the root cause of ADHD symptoms when I was in my mid 20’s, dopamine getting absorbed by the brain at an increased rate so the dopamine production can’t keep up, I realized I just needed an additional source of dopamine to keep me on track. Audiobooks have been an absolute godsend in that regard for me, but other people use music or snacks. It doesn’t fix everything, but it does keep my mental health a lot more balanced, so I don’t hyperfocus or have my focus wander as extremely because I eliminate a lot of time where I don’t have enough dopamine.

I would recommend going for a diagnosis, even if it’s just so you know for sure and can look up coping strategies people are using, and potential tax benefits as well. You can always try medication as well, or even just do meds on days you need your kid to focus, and leave them unmedicated otherwise.
