3d printable means that parts are never out of stock and upgrades are relatively straight-forward to implement (assuming you have the cad/STEP files. modifying STL/Mesh files is a pain in the ass)
Agree, though; for not that much $, you can get a pretty nice kit from Ali Express that'll spit out measurements over a serial port for use with APRS / LoRA or even just an arduino / raspbery pi ... etc.
