Thank you for your update! I actually pulled the trigger days after that post and I 100% do not regret it. Thanks for taking the time to follow up; It just reinforces my decision that i made a good purchase.
One thing i will note is if you do connect it wifi, and dont use the online features, block it's internet access. I found that it had made 22k requests in a months time and I had barely printed anything on it due to old filament breaking.
Not sure, havent cared to inspect traffic packets.
