The wheelchair story is heartwarming theater; the Anycubic price drop is actual news. That 13-year-old build gets the emotional clicks, but it obscures what matters: FDM's real utility is boring, incremental, and proven—like what Anycubic just validated with a 4.5-star workshop test followed by aggressive pricing. Ignore the firmware churn (Prusa's shipping six versions suggests they're patching problems, not innovating) and the SUNLU bundle hype—both are noise. Watch the Anycubic move: when tested hardware gets cheaper fast, it signals market compression and OEM confidence, which reshapes what's actually worth buying right now.
