I recently built a 3D printer where the entire community for it lives on Discord. Their website instructions are horrifically out of date because all of the current changes have been discussed at some point on Discord. What should have been a 2-4 day project turned into a 2-3 week project due to the garbage involved in trying to strain information out of a massive multi-channel group chat with terrible search.

What 3d printer is this so I can avoid it?

I’m afraid they’re talking about the Voron printers, which are really great printers.

The instructions on the Web are pretty good, unless you start messing with Tons of mods, but thats your own fault.

True, but they have access to so many better ways of documenting stuff…
