a few things about this article: you could always order 3d printer filament from amazon during the pandemic, it just took longer to get here (4 instead of 2 days for me). Some brands are sold out but I found a few that were in stock.
Also, this is completely discounting the time spent to set up and maintain the system, which is entirely nontrivial, and leaves out a lot of quality control steps that are important for making and storing high quality filament.
So basically, fun hobby, but it's not "$7.5 per hour at Home".

It's mostly set and forget. You need to change rollers after few 50-60kg run.
