I wanna get into 3d printing and a friend of mine gave me his Creality Ender 3 pro, but it needs some parts.
Should I buy some upgrade parts for it? Or should I use the money to buy a different 3d pr...
My first 3D printer was an Ender 3 Pro, and it was perfect and terrible at the same time.
Getting it to print reliably after a couple of modifications was honestly a miserable affair. And it was still very temperamental even when I knew what I was doing.
I ended up just buying a Prusa so I could just get things printed, and I love it.
So the bad of the Ender is that it hardly worked. The good was that it taught me all the pieces parts, how to troubleshoot, leveling, etc. I went from beginner to pro in a few months. If I only ever had the Prusa, I'm certain I wouldn't know near as much about printers.
Just my 2 sats :)
