Nah, that's nonsense. Sounds like the old one was sufficient, and had deeper meaning attached to it.
That's true, but I don't think that negates what was good intent. Plus we have no idea about delivery of the message from OP.
Agree, and I said as much in a separate comment. We also don't know anything about the delivery of the gift giver, either though..
True. I guess good intent and delivery is generally assumed with a gift but not always there. It's not implied in the post though.
There's a lot of important context missing but on balance, with the bits we do have, I think OP probably could have handled it with more sensitivity.
I didn't catch any deeper meaning other than "it worked for what I needed".
It's right there in the OP
Your right, I got that mixed up with the 3d printer mentioned.
I think OP is saying that they have an old 3d printer that they made/love, and their spouse got them a new (better, nicer looking, but less sentimental) 3d printer.
