I must admit I have a ender 3 v2 with zero upgrades. I just prints without a lot of tweaking.
I do however look what I can upgrade, but as it's working fine never did it.

Seems we like the same stuff. I've been using a Kenesis Advantage 2 since 2015. I've considered making my own, but the Kenesis is pretty great. The only drawback is that the layout isn't good for FPS games.
I built a couple of 98mph 5" FPV quadcopters for about $150 around 4 years ago. I recently wanted to add a 3" to my collection and was absolutely shocked at the prices. What the heck happened there? It would cost me $500+ to build the same quadcopter that I built for $150.
Yeah prices soared with Covid chip shortage. Plus now most drones are using more powerful MCU and HD video transmitters that are much more expensive. And also the global price hike.
Ah man, I don't even have HD goggles. I have Fat Shark analog goggles. I've seen some videos from HD though, and it's pretty amazing.
DarwinFPV BabyApe is $80 and flies better than anything you’ve built 4 years ago due to improvements in Betaflight. Sure, if you want O3 you need to pay more.
