Yeah. I just paid way more for a 3d printer today than I would have just a few months ago... unfortunately my timing on these things tends to suck. I'd promised my oldest son I would split the cost of a printer with him, and he just got a load of cash for his birthday, so he was all excited and ready to go. Not much else to do but bite the bullet.
Stupid tariffs. Didn't work in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and they don't work today. The only people the tariffs used from ~1870 to ~1920 helped were the Carnegies and Rockefellers, while driving the rest of the nation into abject poverty.
