I get that, but, I prefer to test with cheaper stuff, based on the fail fast philosophy.
I did that with my solar system and am glad I did, because if I had spent more on certain things, I would be very unhappy now.

I tend to love building things myself and feel a lot of pride in the outcomes. I don't regret any of my "overspending" on all the various projects/hobbies I've done.
I know I talked about the money but if I'm honest it's not really about money 😄
I know what you mean! I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
