Thanks for the tip with the shop (shipping is reasonable and electronic components are well priced)! Cannot help with Azurefilm filament as I haven't tried it yet.

If you're shopping in the EU, I recommend Devil Design PLA - they're available through a couple of shops.
sub-40 gang 👊
Neat! I've been looking for an CoreXY for sub 1k. Also open source and fast - very exciting! I'll wait for the reviews to see if it holds up to the promises.
Ah the famous scissors-package problem - Now we finally know which came first!
Unfortunately as you found out QMK is not officially supported. But there is a port called SonixQMK which supports this board. This firmware also supports OpenRGB, so you can integrate the light even better in your setup.
I have been eyeing on the Sovol SV04 it's a IDEX machine. It looks like a solid choice with good reviews.
Best clips, also great for filament leftovers
Glass cleaner also works very well for removing most of the glue. Let it soak for a little and then use a scraper to remove the glue
Nice. That gave me compiz flashbacks
I think https://github.com/KMKfw/kmk_firmware might be what you are looking for: It exposes itself as flash drive in bootloader-mode and the files on there are just regular Python scripts. If you search for "KMK macro pad", you'll find a bunch of projects - most of them diy. If you want to start from scratch, Jan Lunge created an awesome tool for setup and keymap adjustments (video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtYJYFMWjNM, repo https://github.com/JanLunge/pog) - with the idea being that after setup you do not need the tool anymore to adjust the keymap.
