> overpriced since it's built in the EU

Externalized costs are real. "Overpriced because it's built in the EU" implicitly argues that there are no fundamental differences between the labor conditions, environmental controls, and societal impact of the production process.

Yes, those do not concern me. I already buy plenty of stuff from China, so a 3D printer is no different, why would I make an exception?

I recognize that my neighbors could easily lose their jobs to the same forces that are causing me to buy a Bambu printer.
