Runner of hardware older than most of you (you know if you're an exception). An excellent person to be around after the apocalypse.

It's definitely nice to have space and tools! I don't, but I can borrow a Skilsaw and/or visit people with space and tools for woodworking.
Since PCI{,e} cards don't weigh a lot, a holder printed from a 3D printer wouldn't require a ton of filament.
Some libraries have 3D printers, and some hackerspaces offer discounted rates for people without a lot of money.
I'm with you regarding the reality that sometimes we have to buy what's best for us in spite of the underlying shittiness of the company that makes it. It's good to acknowledge that we're going to have an insignificant effect on the big picture, so sacrificing our time, money and energy where it could be better spent elsewhere isn't the smart thing to do.
OTOH, getting a Bambu in to the hands of someone like you who could help reduce the control the company has over the products would certainly be a net win :)
