Seems like an interesting hobby I literally know fuck all about.

Talk me into it. Or talk me out of it. I'm good with either.

I have one. It's alright. I use it a fair amount because work with electronics so I do build things with it. It's not great for printing this large because it takes a long time (like 8-24 hours) and I don't want it to run when I'm not watching it. So I would say if you have a repeated use case you want it for, go ahead, it is a pretty nifty tool. If you only wanted for one thing, then it might be best to just order the part from a 3D printing service.
